Rewind: The Search Engine for Your Life

Interesting product. I will take a wait and see approach though because my trust of companies pinky promising not to upload my data, especially when dealing with such invasive data as camera and audio and screen recordings, has been wearing thin of late.

I've been recording my desktop on Mac, Windows and Linux, recording audio in my office, including transcription of the audio, and multiple camera capture for over a decade since early 2000's, and using a SenseCam-like device, on-and-off, for almost 20 years. My current setup of an NVidia Jetson does an admirable job of determining if one or more people are in the room, the activity they are engaged in, multiple camera angles, transcribing what is being said, music identification, desktop image capture and OCR of the images is very much kept locally and I can be assured nothing is leaking out without my explicit knowledge. I have a custom device on my desk that I built that can "pause the recording" or "forget the last 30 seconds" or "forget the last five minutes" for those events that probably shouldn't be captured, e.g. I'm picking my nose and carefully inspecting whatever was retrieved.

Congratulations on the launch! Looks fantastic! I have built a product https://gettrici.com that records your screen and stores the recordings locally as well. As a developer, watching a quick replay of my recording helps me recover my lost train of thought very very fast and saves me a ton of time.

Its great that you have leveraged the power of Apple Silicon to analzye and index the recordings as well as keeping the size of the recordings very very small. Do you see this becoming available for Intel Chipsets a.k.a Windows and Linux anytime soon?

Side note the landing page with it's hard gradients and shadows looks like something from the late 2000s when you would buy Mac apps without the App Store

What’s with the trend of mac only desktop software?

I think they must be using similar AI / ML stuff to this recent work for audio https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13438 but for video
