Hi Rohan,
Our finance team is closing the books today. Could you resend the September invoice? We need it in the next hour.
Thanks,

It remembers
While you use your Mac, Hindsight saves what's on screen every few seconds, only when something changed.
It reads
The words in every moment are read, so a chat, a page or a slide you only skimmed becomes searchable.
You find it
Type a word you remember. Every moment it was on screen comes back, with the word marked.

Questions
Does anything leave my Mac?+
No. Pictures, text and search all stay on your Mac. The only time Hindsight goes online is to check your licence.
How much space does it use?+
About 400 to 600 MB for a busy day. Old moments are deleted automatically after 30 days or 20 GB, whichever comes first, and you can change both.
Will it slow my Mac down?+
It takes a picture only when your screen changes, and reads the text in the background at low priority. On a MacBook Air that's usually a few percent of one CPU core.
What happened to Rewind?+
Rewind shut down in December 2025. Hindsight does the part people miss most, searching everything that was on your screen, entirely on your Mac and for a one-time price.
What's the purple icon in my menu bar?+
That's macOS showing that an app is recording the screen. It's there whenever Hindsight is saving, so you always know.
Can I stop it seeing certain apps?+
Yes. Password managers are left out from the start, and you can add any app you want to keep out.
