*Note: Rewind works best on macOS Ventura (13) and when your primary language is set to English.

☐ Click on the Rewind icon in the menu bar (upper right hand corner of your Mac)

☐ Toggle on Audio Capture

☐ Since Audio Capture is on, your Mac is recording any audio that it hears - try talking directly to your Mac so you can see the transcript later

☐ Open up your browser and go to our Help Center: https://help.rewind.ai

☐ Star a moment by pressing ⌘Command + ⇧Shift + S and return to these 'highlighted moments' later

What does Rewind record?

Screen capture: The moment that Screen Capture is on, what is visible on your screen is recorded. If you have multiple monitors, Rewind records whatever monitor your mouse is on. Overlapping windows do not get recorded.

Audio Capture: If you want to record all audio, you can manually toggle this on at any time.

If you'd like to have Audio Capture toggled on automatically for meetings, sync your calendar.

What data is stored locally?

For your privacy, we store all of the recordings locally on your Mac. Only you have access to them. Recording data (including screenshots, video & audio) is NEVER sent off your Mac. We do compression and Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) all locally on your Mac.
