Rewind — Never miss a moment Some of the best things ever said weren't recorded. The story your grandfather only tells once. The exact phrasing of an idea in a meeting. A toast at a wedding. A diagnosis from a doctor's visit. The moment your kid says something so funny you couldn't have planned it. Rewind is the iPhone app that gives you a second chance. Instead of asking you to hit record before something interesting happens, Rewind quietly keeps a short, rolling memory of what your microphone just heard. When the moment turns out to matter, one press saves the last few minutes — after it already happened. HOW IT WORKS Tap Start Listening once. Rewind maintains a private rolling buffer of the last 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes of audio. Anything older is overwritten and gone. Nothing is saved unless you ask. When you want to keep what just happened, save it from anywhere — the Home screen, the iPhone Action Button, Siri, Spotlight, or Shortcuts. Rewind stitches the recent buffer into a clip, transcribes it, and drops it in your Library. Listening keeps going so you don't miss what comes next. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Rewind has no account, no cloud, and no upload path. There is no server to opt out of. Audio files and transcripts live in your app sandbox, protected by iOS encryption. The only network call Rewind ever makes is the one-time download of the on-device transcription model. After that, it works offline. Optional Face ID can lock the entire Library so your moments stay yours alone. ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION Every saved clip is transcribed locally using Whisper. Titles are generated for you. Optional speaker labels separate who said what. Search your Library by transcript text, title, date, or duration — instantly, with nothing leaving the phone. FIVE WAYS TO CAPTURE • Home screen — the big save button, center stage • Action Button — one press, even from the lock screen • Siri — "Hey Siri, save Rewind" • Spotlight — swipe down, type, return • Shortcuts — chain Save Rewind into any automation EVERYTHING YOU NEED • Rolling buffer with 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15-minute save windows • Background capture — keeps running while locked or in your pocket • Resilient through phone calls, Bluetooth swaps, and interruptions • Local Whisper transcription with optional speaker diarization • Search by transcript, title, status, date, or duration • Playback with scrubbing, 15-second skip, trim, and revert • Star clips, edit titles, share via the standard iOS share sheet • Choose built-in or external microphone (Bluetooth, USB, AirPods) • Three home visuals: breathing dot, buffer ring, or live waveform • Light & dark themes that match your system PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account • No cloud • No upload path • No analytics • No ads • Face ID gate for the Library • File-protected storage • Sharing is always explicit REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Microphone permission required. Recommended: assign "Save Rewind" to your Action Button for one-press capture. CATCH THE NEXT GREAT THING SAID. Install Rewind, start listening once, and let your phone remember the last few minutes for you. You decide what's worth keeping — after it's already happened.
