The app uses native macOS APIs and Optical Character Recognition to analyze everything on your screen, and stores all recordings locally on your Mac for privacy reasons[1]. Rewind compresses raw recording data up to 3,750 times so even with the smallest hard drive Apple offers today, you can store years of recordings[1]. The app offers a timeline of every meeting you’ve been in, every website you’ve visited, and everything you’ve typed or clicked on your machine[2]. Users can search, sort, and interact with all that history using different features[2]. A new feature called ChatGPT For Me is a GPT-4 chatbot that can give a chatbot access to all your personal data[2]. The app has two UIs: the rewind UI where you can scrub back and forth, and the search UI where you can search for matching text and show where in the screenshot it was found[5]. <a href= "http://Rewind.ai">Rewind.ai</a> is a relatively new app that is charting its own course and is unique in its functionality[3].</div> <div> </div> <div>Sources</div> <div> </div> <div>[1] Rewind AI <a href= "https://www.rewind.ai">https://www.rewind.ai</a></div> <div> </div> <div>[2] Rewind's new feature brings ChatGPT to your personal information - The Verge <a href= "https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/23/23653127/rewind-ai-chatgpt-for-me-chatbot-mac"> https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/23/23653127/rewind-ai-chatgpt-for-me-chatbot-mac</a></div> <div> </div> <div>[3] A First Look at <a href="http://Rewind.ai">Rewind.ai</a> - The Sweet Setup <a href= "https://thesweetsetup.com/a-first-look-at-rewind-ai/">https://thesweetsetup.com/a-first-look-at-rewind-ai/</a></div> <div> </div> <div>[4] 'Rewind AI' records everything you do on your Mac - 9to5Mac <a href= "https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/02/rewind-ai-records-everything-you-do-mac/"> https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/02/rewind-ai-records-everything-you-do-mac/</a></div> <div> </div> <div>[5] <a href="http://Rewind.ai">Rewind.ai</a> Review - Ian Sinnott <a href= "https://blog.iansinnott.com/rewind.ai-review">https://blog.iansinnott.com/rewind.ai-review</a></div> <div> </div> <div>[6] AI Startup Rewind Gets 170 Offers—and $350 Million Valuation in Unusual Fundraising <a href= "https://www.theinformation.com/articles/ai-startup-rewind-gets-170-offers-and-350-million-valuation-in-unusual-fundraising"> https://www.theinformation.com/articles/ai-startup-rewind-gets-170-offers-and-350-million-valuation-in-unusual-fundraising</a></div>
