About Rewind
Rewind is a Mac productivity app that records everything on your screen and lets you ask AI about it later. Captured activity becomes a searchable personal memory, and the data is compressed locally on the device to keep the storage footprint down.
Its edge is retrieval by plain question: instead of digging through files or history, you ask in natural language and it surfaces or summarizes what you saw.
It suits Mac users who want to recall past on-screen work without manual note-taking. It won't suit you if you're on Windows or Linux, since it's macOS-only, if always-on screen recording raises privacy or storage concerns for you, or if you need a free option, as it requires a paid subscription.
Among AI productivity tools it's narrower than a general assistant, focused specifically on recall of your own screen history.
