Like a dashcam, it's always there when you need it — trusted by developers, designers, and researchers

Always rolling

Like a dashcam, it captures everything in the background. That error message from 3 hours ago? Just rewind.

100% private

Everything stays on your Mac. No cloud, no servers, no tracking. Your history is yours.

Set it and forget it

Runs silently in your menu bar. You'll forget it's there — until you need it.

Your screen tells the story

A dashcam captures the road. Rewind Desktop captures your workflow — every app, every tab, every moment.

For Developers

Find that error you dismissed too quickly

You saw the stack trace. You closed it. Now you need it back. With Rewind Desktop, scroll back through your terminal, browser, and IDE to find exactly what you need.

  • Recover dismissed error messages and logs
  • Find that API response you didn't save
  • Track down when a bug first appeared
For Designers

Compare iterations without saving every version

Design exploration means constant iteration. Rewind Desktop lets you scrub back through every state of your canvas without cluttering your files.

  • Compare color variations you tried earlier
  • Find the layout you liked before you changed it
  • Show clients the evolution of a design
For Researchers

Never lose a source you forgot to bookmark

Deep research means dozens of tabs and sources. Rewind Desktop captures everything you see, so you can always trace back to where you found that quote.

  • Find articles you read but didn't save
  • Recover data from pages you've closed
  • Search your history by text (OCR)
For Your Daily Life

“What was that thing I was looking at?”

We've all been there. You saw something interesting, got distracted, and now it's gone. Rewind Desktop is like a photographic memory for your digital life.

  • Find that recipe you scrolled past
  • Remember what you were doing before the meeting
  • Recover that product you meant to buy
For Vibe Coders

“What was Claude doing before it compacted?”

Long AI coding sessions can lose context when the window rolls over. Rewind Desktop captures every screen so you can see exactly what your AI agent was working on before the context compacted.

  • Review Claude Code's changes before compaction
  • Trace back through Cursor or Codex agent sessions
  • Never lose track of AI-driven refactoring
