The idea Recording the thing you forgot to record.<br>Three steps, and the first one never stops.

01 It’s always rolling<br>Rewindly continuously captures your display and audio into a short in-memory buffer. Nothing is written to disk yet.

02 Something happens<br>An app crashes, a call drops a brilliant point, a notification flashes a code. The moment you wish you’d hit record.

03 Rewind & keep it<br>Click Save last 60s. The buffer is written to a tidy HEVC clip with mixed audio — already in your Movies folder.

What’s inside Small app. Serious plumbing.<br>Native capture, hardware encoding, and a buffer that respects your machine.

Rolling buffer Always the last N seconds<br>Keep the last 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Old footage is dropped continuously — nothing fills up.

Hardware HEVC Encoded on the GPU<br>Frames are H.265-encoded by VideoToolbox as they arrive, so capturing at native resolution barely touches your CPU.

Mixed audio System sound + your mic<br>Both sources are captured and mixed into one track. Toggle either on or off, per your workflow.

RAM or disk Your call on memory<br>Keep the buffer in RAM for speed, or back it with disk to free memory for long buffers. Switch any time.

Crash-proof Survives a crash<br>In disk mode the buffer is recoverable. If your computer or an app goes down, relaunch and save what you lost.

Local & private Nothing leaves your machine<br>No cloud, no account, no telemetry. The buffer stays on your machine and clips are written to local disk.

Nothing leaves your machine.<br>No cloud. No account. No telemetry. The buffer lives in RAM; clips are written to local disk. Rewindly is a tool, not a tracker.

Questions Good to know.

Is there a free trial? Yes. Every download includes a 14-day free trial with all features unlocked — no card required. After that, a one-time $29 license keeps it going on up to 3 machines.<br>How is this different from QuickTime or a normal recorder? You do not press record. Rewindly is always recording into a short rolling buffer, so you can capture something that already happened — after it happened. It is a DVR for your desktop, not a camcorder.<br>Does it eat my disk or battery? No. Only the last N seconds exist at any time, in memory, and video is hardware-encoded. When you save, one compact HEVC .mov is written. Idle capture is light on Apple Silicon.<br>Where do clips go? Straight to ~/Movies/Rewindly (configurable) as an HEVC .mov with mixed audio. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.<br>What about privacy? Everything stays on your machine. No account, no servers, no analytics. On Mac, macOS still shows its purple screen-recording indicator while the app runs — that is the system being honest about capture.<br>Which platforms are supported? On Mac: macOS 13 Ventura and later for screen + microphone; system-audio capture uses the Core Audio process tap and needs macOS 14.2 or newer. A Windows build (Windows 10 1903+ / Windows 11) is in active development and coming soon.
