So it's a reader app for what happens on you mac plus a Safari mobile browser extension to record what happens there? Clever implementation for an OS that is limited in what it allows in this regard.

I've tried Rewind on the Mac for a little bit but turned it off because I thought it was causing an issue with my notifications (I think now it's related to something else). I never "used" a rewind in part because I hate using consumable things (See also my slight aversion to Kagi, though I want to give it another shot). I also dislike pricing that's not really based on ongoing costs (searching your local archive 10 times or 1000 doesn't seem to cost Rewind anything). I was also not super excited about the whole "we will summarize your meetings" feature I got a notification about as it requires sending your data to Rewind. Also, I think part of my issue is that while I like having the history I don't have the muscle memory to use said history yet and so I forget it's there.

Thanks for the feedback!

On Mac: you are right that recording audio causes your notifications to be hidden by default. There is an OS setting to change that behavior. Here's how to change it: https://help.rewind.ai/en/articles/7039599-what-are-the-limi...

On pricing: you are also right. We are thinking about new pricing & packaging that feels fairer. We're thinking about doing purely feature-based package differentiation (as opposed to tracking number of "rewinds"). Would love your thoughts or suggestions.

On muscle memory: again, you are right. Some of our users think of our product today as mostly insurance and don't actively use it every day. We hope to change that by giving them valuable things that fit into their existing daily workflow (e.g. summarizing meetings, telling you how you know the person you are about to meet with, proactively drafting emails for you based on context)

I don't think you can access your recordings from your mac on your phone as far as I can tell.

Totally agree on the muscle memory part. I’m hoping this can turn into the second nature that searching google has become.
