Rewind is a digital memory tool for people who need to save and quickly retrieve information from everyday online and offline work. It records what happens on your device—websites you visit, documents you view, meetings you attend, and spoken conversations—then turns that activity into structured notes and short summaries.
How it works
After a quick setup, Rewind runs in the background and builds an intelligent index of events and content. Instead of only recording screen or audio, it lets you search by:
- Keywords
- Context
- Date
Privacy and platform focus
Rewind is built with privacy as a core principle. Your data is stored locally and doesn’t have to be sent to the cloud, which sets it apart from many cloud-based alternatives. It also includes GPT-4 integration to provide personalized answers to your queries, and it’s optimized for the Apple ecosystem with deep macOS and iOS support.
Practical use cases
- Automatically capture meeting notes and find action items later
- Jump back to a specific code snippet or discussion without digging through email or chat
- Prepare reports faster using searchable summaries of your work history
