Rewind is the search engine for your life. It’s a macOS app that’s private by design and allows you to find anything you’ve seen, said, or heard.
Rewind is truly personalized AI. Browse, search, and ask Rewind about what you’ve seen on your phone.
What if you had perfect memory? What if you could ask any question about anything you've seen said or heard? Well, now you can.
Interesting idea and execution thus far is impressive! I have one question regarding privacy. >. For your privacy, we store all of the recordings locally on your Mac. Only you have access to them. Compression and Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) is all done locally. Recording data is never sent off of your machine. Although recording data might not be sent off the machine, usage of GPT-4 does imply you're sending sensitive data to OpenAI (and thus off the machine). Presumably you're embedding user's screen and audio data locally, which means that potentially the embedding process and definitely the response generation process both send data to OpenAI, which is a privacy concern. Do you plan on implement on-device models in the future, as way to mitigate this?
Rewind is super helpful for me. I intend to forget things and it definitely helps me find it at the right time.
I've been using Rewind for a while. Coming from someone who bookmarks compulsively, Rewind has been a dream. First, since I don't have to do anything proactively, there's never the "ah shoot, I forgot to bookmark that and now it's lost" moment. In fact, it's the answer to that moment "I'll just search in Rewind and find it" and then bookmark it. But second, since it's capturing everything, not just browsing, I've used it for rewinding meetings, finding command output in days old terminal windows, and finding that one link someone mentioned in Slack, or Discord, or Messages, that I couldn't remember.
Total gamechanger to be able to search anything you've seen, read, or heard
I have adhd and this has kind of changed my life. So much of my life is starting something, getting distracted by something else, and then completely forgetting what I was doing before, where I found useful information, etc. It has really been a game-changer for me. It also takes better meeting notes than I ever have. I downloaded it on a wim on launch, and even though I don't use it every day when I do, it saves me so much time trying to remember where I found or read something, and it saves me worry all the time because I am not trying to keep track of a million things at once. I had to come back and write a review.
