I have a cron job taking a picture of my desktop four times per minute into a dated folder structure. It allows me to zoom back in time (days out weeks back) to figure out what I was doing at a particular time or if I was showing someone a particular bit of code or something like that.

Check out Rewind.ai! I used a similar app (Capturer.app) to do this automatically, and have since switched to Rewind - it's much better for my purposes.
But its constantly using 30% CPU... maybe the screenshot solution is lighter!
Mind posting the script? How much space do the images end up taking per day roughly?
Making this searchable for text would be the killer feature here.
