Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rewind AI free?
Yes, Rewind offers a free tier with perpetual access to all locally stored data forever, with no feature limitations. Pro tier is $19/month (annual) or $29/month (monthly) and adds unlimited search, AI summaries, and task automation.
Does Rewind AI send my data to the cloud?
By default, all screen and audio recordings are stored locally on your device and never leave it. However, when using Ask Rewind (GPT-4 powered summarization), relevant transcripts are sent to OpenAI for processing, creating a privacy trade-off.
What devices does Rewind AI support?
Rewind AI is available on macOS (especially optimized for Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3) and iOS. Windows support is in development but not yet available. No Android app exists.
How much storage does Rewind AI use?
Rewind claims 3,750x compression of raw video, but users report ~50–70GB/month with continuous recording. This is 3–4x higher than Rewind's stated efficiency, so plan accordingly or enable manual retention policies.
What happened to Rewind AI after Meta acquisition?
Meta acquired Rewind AI (now Limitless AI) in December 2025. The original Rewind app continues to be supported, but the company's development focus has shifted to Limitless AI, a cloud-based platform with a wearable pendant for conversation capture. Original Rewind is effectively legacy.
Can Rewind AI record meetings across Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams?
Yes. Rewind automatically detects when you join a call on any of these platforms and offers to record and transcribe all audio. It records your side of conversations without requiring bots in the call.
Does Rewind AI have compliance certifications like SOC 2 or HIPAA?
No, there is no public evidence that Rewind AI holds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, or similar compliance certifications. This limits enterprise adoption in regulated sectors.
