Rewind AI rebranded to Limitless, was acquired by Meta, and shut down on December 19, 2025. Full timeline — plus what lives at Rewind.ai today.
Short answer: Rewind AI rebranded to Limitless in 2024, Limitless was acquired by Meta in 2025, and the service shut down on December 19, 2025. Dan Siroker and Brett Bejcek start Rewind AI with the goal of giving humans 'perfect memory' — software that records and indexes everything you see, say, or hear on your computer. The Rewind app ships for macOS: local recording of screen and audio, searchable like a personal time machine. Early coverage centers on its privacy-first, on-device storage pitch. Rewind launches Ask Rewind, a GPT-4-powered assistant that answers questions about everything you've seen or heard. The 'ChatGPT for me' framing goes viral and drives a wave of press.

Rem: Remember Everything (open source)2023 · github.com · ▲555An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer. Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds. I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source. Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.

I am facing the inevitable question of whether to continue with the project. I just put out a new release and it would be helpful to get advice from the community on what they think of the idea and my implementation.

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
