Rewind Product Information and Latest Updates (2025)

Thanks a lot for the hunt, @chrismessina! I made this extension because for many years I have been saving to my bookmarks every link I wanted to check out later, and I ended up with thousands of cool blog articles, website for products, youtube videos and so on, just waiting to be discovered again. It can feel overwhelming to open your bookmarks list and check them one by one, thanks to this extension it feels more like browsing Producthunt, Reddit, Refind and so on. Everyday you have your feed of cool links, curated by you, in the past. There are many other advantages that make me use this extension on a semi-daily basis. By the way, it's 100% free. Thank you for giving it a try!

@tweetatmax Thank you for using Rewind! I don't know about Freezetab, I will check it out! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "cycling through the months"? I'll be happy to help if it's not the expected behaviour.

@tweetatmax I've checked Freezetab and there's definitely some overlap on the problems it solves, but it seems like it's not relying on actual bookmarks? Which is a shame, because it doesn't know about the links you've saved before installing the extension, and the day you decide to uninstall it, you've lost everything you've saved with it. Please record and send away! But please also allow the extension in incognito mode and try it from there, because it may be because of another extension that messes with it.

@tweetatmax @j_____________n I am having the same problem. Have tried 3 times to load it. At first I thought it was indexing my bookmarks by day but it kept running too long and eventually stopping on a black screen. Thanks for creating it though @Julien I will try again another day.

@tweetatmax @julien @pam_j_costa I apologize for this bug, can you allow and try Rewind in incognito mode, and/or can you look in the Developer Tools Console (F12) if any error shows up and report it back to me please? I'd love to fix it but I need some more data.

Any plans to link with Pocket in the future? It would be great to consolidate

@shl0ms Pocket is a great app, I've been using it for a long time (but a lot less since Rewind came along), what do you think the workflow should be like with both apps?

Hey @j_____________n, nice idea. Thanks for this, I find it very useful already. It's cool to be able to visualise my bookmarks in chronological order :-) Is there a reason you cannot pre-defne the year in search?

@le551 The biggest inspiration for this extension is Timehop, where you can see the pictures you took on this day, but throughout the past years, that's what this extension does, but with your bookmarks (and then it adds thumbnails, a search engine, and other cool features). So that's why you can't search for a specific year (yet), but that's definitely something I can add.

@j_____________n thanks for your reply :) re: Timehop, Yes I had similar thoughts when I stumbled across this. Like the concept! Good luck with it! If you ever need help testing or what not, give me a shout! Always happy to give feedback.

@le551 Thanks a lot! The feedback you gave me is already super useful, it gave me a pretty good idea that I'll try to implement very soon.
