Rewind AI
Rewind is a personalized AI assistant for Mac that records everything you see, say, and hear on your computer, creating a searchable memory of your entire digit
What is Rewind AI?
Rewind AI is a Mac application that continuously records your screen activity, audio, and interactions, then makes this recording searchable through an AI-powered interface. Rather than taking manual notes or screenshots, you can search for information you've seen or discussed at any point during your computer use. This is particularly useful if you need to recall where you found something, what was said in a call, or details from a window you viewed earlier. The tool is designed for knowledge workers, researchers, and anyone who spends significant time on their computer and wants an automated way to reference past activities without relying on memory or manual documentation.
