Rewind AI shut down.
Your memory doesn't have to.
Meta acquired Limitless and disabled Rewind's screen and audio capture on December 19, 2025. EvaMind is a local-first Mac app built to pick up right where it left off — mic and system audio together, transcribed and searchable.
Scrub the timeline to rewind to any moment ever recorded on your screen — with the transcript synced right alongside it.
Why you're looking for a Rewind alternative
A quick timeline, in case you missed it.
Rewind rebrands to Limitless and shifts focus to a hardware "Pendant." The original Rewind Mac app goes into maintenance mode.
Meta acquires Limitless — reportedly for its wearable AI team, not the Mac screen-recording product.
All screen and audio capture is disabled. The Rewind Mac app stops working completely.
EvaMind picks up where Rewind left off — local-first screen and audio recall for Mac, with no dependency on a startup's acquisition roadmap.
Built around what people actually need from a recall tool
Local by default
Recordings and transcripts are processed and stored on your device by default — your history isn't handed to a cloud server to work.
One recording, both audio sources
Microphone and system sound are captured together, so a Zoom or Meet call is a single searchable transcript — not two separate tracks to reconcile.
Search what you saw and heard
One search bar covers everything on screen and everything said out loud — find the exact moment down to the second.
Simple, transparent pricing
One flat plan, no hidden tiers. Try every feature free for 7 days, no card required to start.
Rewind and replay — transcript synced to the second
Drag the timeline back through anything you've watched or heard, with the transcript following right along.
The core "rewind" moment people relied on Rewind for — EvaMind does it locally, with full-call audio included.

What happened to Rewind AI?
Rewind rebranded to Limitless in 2024 and shifted focus to a hardware Pendant, while the original Mac app went into maintenance mode. Meta acquired Limitless in December 2025, and on December 19, 2025 all screen and audio capture in the Rewind Mac app was disabled — shutting it down completely.
