Rewind

Rewind is a personal AI assistant for your Mac that creates a searchable, private memory of everything you've seen, said, or heard on your computer. Its core value lies in transforming the ephemeral nature of digital work—lost tabs, forgotten conversations, and missed details—into a permanent, instantly accessible resource, effectively giving you a perfect, photographic memory for your digital life.

Key features include the ability to record and transcribe meetings from apps like Zoom, index the content of every webpage visited and document opened, and log all application activity. It allows you to search this indexed history using natural language queries, such as 'find that article about neural networks I read last Tuesday' or 'what did my manager say about the Q3 budget in our last call?' The AI can synthesize answers from multiple sources across your timeline, pulling together information you didn't consciously connect.

What sets Rewind apart from simple screen recorders or history tools is its deep system integration and privacy-first architecture. All processing and data storage occur locally on your device, meaning your personal and work data never leaves your computer. Unlike cloud-based competitors, this ensures complete confidentiality. Furthermore, its AI doesn't just find where you saw something; it understands the context and can provide summarized answers, making it a proactive recall tool rather than a passive log.

Ideal for researchers, journalists, students, and knowledge workers who handle vast amounts of information daily and frequently need to reference past materials, conversations, or sources. It is particularly valuable for anyone who participates in numerous meetings, manages complex projects across many documents, or simply wants to reduce the time wasted searching for lost information, thereby significantly boosting personal productivity and reducing cognitive load.
