Rewind AI is an app that perfectly records what you see, say, and hear while using your Mac. With these recordings, you can easily go back to a specific time and watch it again.
A company called Rewind AI has partnered with Apple Silicon to release a software product for the Mac that keeps a condensed, searchable record of everything you do on your Apple computer.
Rewind AI claims that its product stores all recorded data locally on your computer and does not require cloud integration. Among other things, Rewind promises to be able to rewind Zoom meetings and WhatsApp conversations, for example, and extract information from them in the form of searches.
If you’ve forgotten something you saw, said, or heard, Rewind wants to help you find it in a very easy way.
In the demo video on the Rewind.AI website, the app opens when the user presses Command+Shift+Spacebar. The search bar suggests typing “everything I’ve seen, said, or heard,” and the bottom of the screen also displays a timeline representing your past actions in the app.
As you can see in the video, when you search for “tps report” Rewind uses “tps report” as audio or text in apps such as Zoom Chat, Text Message, Email, Slack Conversation, Word Document, etc. The video is gridded. Show the view. , among many.
One of the big advantages the developers point out is that a 10.5 GB recording becomes a 2.8 MB file. This allows Rewind AI to store years of recordings without cluttering up your computer.
The application works thanks to OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for identifying text content, and in combination with voice recognition, it offers a powerful search function that, as you can see, is very accurate.
My first comment is that this Mac application was built using an Apple Silicon chip. This is because it uses specific features of the Apple SoC to record everything without overloading system resources like CPU and RAM.
However, there are many concerns about the privacy aspect of apps that log everything users do on their computers. According to Rewind AI’s website, recordings are stored locally and the app isn’t integrated with the cloud.
Additionally, users can delete recordings or exclude specific apps from recordings at any time if desired. The app is not currently available to the public on Mac computers, but those interested can request early access on his website.
