If you ever have trouble remembering where you saw or heard something — and let’s face it, we all do — a new AI-powered Mac app is here to help.

Rewind is an ambitious new app that promises to remember everything you see or hear on your Mac — and make it searchable.

It’ll monitor Zoom meetings, text messages, Slack messages and more.

It’s all enabled by the power of Apple Silicon, and is possibly a preview of what’s coming when this kind of technology comes to mobile devices. Imagine a searcheable archive of your entire life.

Welcome to the future!

We’ve all had this happen: you remember seeing something that you want to share, but you don’t remember where you saw it nor enough details to find it on the internet. Rewind promises to make everything that you’ve “seen, said or heard” searchable.
