Rewind - The search engine for your life

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This can save my life every day.

I can't wait to try this product. It looks very interesting. I track a lot of things about my life already: my sleep, productive time per day (both using Toggl to manually track binary productive vs non productive time, and also using rescuetime for more detailed metrics), lots of health metrics, mood, words written, etc. But all of that is metadata. This is a tool that enables you to capture raw data. And I am curious to see how that can be useful. There's going to be a lot of noise so I hope you're using machine learning to identify the most relevant and valuable moments in time. Search is a cool use case. But, in addition to search, I also wonder if there's a way to surface moments that I would want to revisit, but which I might not think of myself. And even within search, relevance is going to a problem when the amount of data you're capturing is so large. Also, are you capturing the data directly from slack and gmail etc or are you taking screen recordings? Because if it's a recording, what if there's an email that I'd want to uncover in search but I haven't viewed it yet? Or what if I've viewed it ten times? Will each view count as a separate occurrence? Finally, I am curious about what sources you're capturing from? Is it just from the computer? I imagine it won't be possible to deploy this on an iPhone given the sandboxing restrictions. But that's unfortunate because there's so much data that I can send through my phone. Tons of my browsing history, tons of podcasts, most of my meetings. I could potentially shift my behavior to use my laptop more, but that's a pretty annoying shift to make, and the product will have to add a huge amount of value for that to be worth it. Maybe it's possible on android if not on an iPhone, but again it's a pretty big switch to change phones just to get one service to work. Anyway, those are some of my thoughts and I'm very interested in trying the product! I hope this feedback was worthwhile enough that I get bumped up the waiting list :). I'd be happy to share my thoughts again after using the product if you grant me access in the next few days!

I often thought that having a second brain like Rewind would be very beneficial: saving time for causes that really matter, rather than spending it looking for things. I've signed up for the access and look forward to testing it. Congratulations on the launch! A product with a great demand.

This is such an exciting project - looking forward to testing it out!

This is everything I've been hoping and dreaming about. I started my job at a company that makes life-saving patience for the animal space of R&D. Going to meetings and racing off to perform experiments in the lab, smashing together some powerpoints and presenting them at the next conference. Not to mention the madness that goes along with managing an entire lab! Come Monday mornings; I forget where I left off on Friday and have to dig through emails to jog my memory. With Rewind, this could be a huge help. I've tried documenting everything into Evernote, but that also takes up the little bandwidth I can spare. I can't wait to get my hands on this!!!

This is such a fascinating product, and if it has the right privacy focus (so far it seems like it does) this could really be a game changer.

This looks awesome! I'm forever trying to remember details mentioned in a zoom meeting. To be able to search a transcribed meeting would be amazing. I can't wait to try this out.

I’ve been needing this app for a LONG time. I HATE when I can’t find a site I visited previously. Searching the browser history helps sometimes, but I DO wish I could just rewind my actions to see what I was doing at a specific time.

Looks awesome can’t wait to try it!
