Rewind AIsolves a huge problem with modern computers: Where was that thing you just saw?
Was the link sent via Slack, iMessage, or email?
Did you view it in Safari or Chrome?
Rewind
Court orders to unlock devices and enter passwords are sometimes issued.
“Ben Michael, attorney at Michael and Associates, told Lifewire via email.
The concept is simple and uses modern technology to make something once impossible now possible.
Rewind
The app just constantly records your screen and your computers audio.
Currently, the app only processes screenshots and captured text from OCR (optical character recognition).
Its a tempting feature because its so incredibly useful; you should never lose anything again.
But Rewinds strength is also its weakness: It remembers everything and makes it searchable.
The app stores everything on your Mac, locally, but not in the cloud.
Although these are enabled by default, you might disable them, too.
Privacy
There are still two areas of concern.
One is that you have to trust the app and the company behind it.
Trust comes with experience, and right now, we have no experience with the company.
And there has already been a privacy “rewind” since the app launched last week.
“When we launched two days ago, we shared that we use a cloud transcription service.
Theother concern is more practical.
Anyone with access to your Mac can see everything youve done.
But this isnt really about Rewind, specifically.
Possibly the only way to create a life-logging service like this is at the platform level.
If Apple built a Rewind-like app into the Mac, you might be more likely to trust it.
But given the privacy concerns, it seems unlikely that Apple would go anywhere near such an idea.
This is a shame because Rewind looks well-designed and incredibly useful.
