Rewind Product Information

Rewind AI is a personalized AI assistant that continuously captures and analyzes everything you see, say, or hear across your devices. Available as a web app, Mac app, Windows app, and wearable integration, Rewind emphasizes privacy by storing data locally on your device and offering AI-assisted productivity features to help you remember, summarize, draft, and organize information from meetings, documents, and apps.


How Rewind Works

  • It runs in the background and captures screen activity and audio.
  • Data is compressed, transcribed, and stored locally on your device to ensure privacy.
  • You can ask Rewind questions, summarize meetings, draft emails, and perform other tasks with GPT-4-powered personalization.

Use Cases

  • Meetings: automates note-taking, provides human-level meeting summaries, and records sessions across Zoom, Meet, and Teams.
  • Backup: prevents loss of work by backing up locally; can scroll back to any moment.
  • AI Assistant: helps draft emails, summarize research, and manage tasks.

Privacy and Security

  • Stored locally on your Mac; no cloud storage by default.
  • Incognito or unrecorded content can be excluded; private browsing not captured.
  • If optional features are used (summaries or Ask Rewind), only relevant text data is sent to LLM partners.
