    (co-founder & CEO of Rewind here) I'd really love to share more but our competitors will try to imitate it and I want to build as large of a lead as I can before we unveil it. I'll…

    Thanks for the feedback! On Mac: you are right that recording audio causes your notifications to be hidden by default. There is an OS setting to change that behavior. Here's how to…

    (I’m the co-founder & CEO of Rewind.) While it’s true we raised money from VCs we did not give them a board seat or voting control. I have super-voting shares and am the only membe…
