A private alternative to Rewind.
Rewind helped popularize giving your Mac a searchable memory. Meta acquired Limitless, the company behind it, in December 2025, and the Rewind Mac app stopped capturing on December 19, 2025. If you still want that recall, with capture, search, and transcription running entirely on your Mac and nothing leaving your device, here’s how Hindsight compares.
