Have you ever spent 30 minutes scrolling through your phone, trying to find that specific picture, screenshot, or voice memo?
Because I definitely have. This week’s AI company Rewind allows you to search your life.
⚾ The Elevator Pitch:
Studies show that 90% of memories are forgotten after just one week. And our memory only worsens as we get older.
Just like how glasses improve vision, hearing aids better hearing, Rewind aims to use AI-powered technology to augment memory.

🔍 Why we like it
🧠 You don’t need us to tell you – memory is important
The people we are, our understanding the world around is determined by our memories and experiences. No one likes forgetting (especially me). Rewind reshapes how we remember in a digital world.
🔒 Local, private, and secure
Rewind records anything you’ve seen, said, or heard and makes it searchable. They prioritize privacy so they store all of the recordings locally on your Mac, meaning only you have access to them.
💻 No messy cloud integrations
Rewind uses native macOS APIs and Optical Character Recognition to recognize and index all the words that appear on your screen. This means no messy integrations with cloud products like Gmail, Dropbox, or Slack.
