Your Mac,
with a memory.

Every glimpse of your screen becomes a wisp — text only, kept on this Mac. Ask anything later and Rewisp revisits them for you. Now it reasons over them too: what changed, what you promised, what you keep forgetting.

It remembers what you promised

You said it once, in passing, and moved on. Rewisp caught the commitment as it scrolled by, held it, and brought it back the morning it was due — without you writing anything down.

One quiet summary a day

Ask any page what changed

Rewisp keeps every version of a page as text. It shows exactly what was added, removed, or moved since you last looked — a screen recorder can't.

Give any agent your memory

Claude, Cursor, VS Code — any MCP client can search your memory and read your promises while it works. Read-only, local, never spends your subscriptions.

New — it thinks

Not just a search box.
A memory that reasons.

Rewisp keeps clean text, not video — so it can do things a screen recorder can't. All of this runs on your Mac, for free.

Search by meaning

Ask “that article about burnout” and it finds the page that said “exhaustion.” No shared words needed — it understands what you meant, and it’s typo-proof: it still finds words the screen text misread.

What changed here?

Rewisp keeps every version of a page. Ask what’s new since Tuesday and it shows exactly what was added, changed, or removed.

Keeps your promises

“I’ll send it Friday” — caught where you write, never typed. It reads deadlines like “by EOD” or “next week”, tells a real promise from a “maybe”, and closes the slip once you’ve done it. Confirm it and Rewisp reminds you on the due day, once. Ads and AI chats can’t fake one.

Numbers over time

A weight, a grade, a price you see again and again becomes a sparkline. “How has my weight moved?” — charted from your own screen.

Guesses your question

Open the panel and the suggested questions are read off what’s already on your screen and what you’ve asked before.

Knows what you’ll forget

Your failed searches teach it your personal forgetting curve. Things you saw once get rescued right before they fade; facts you keep looking up get pinned forever.

Remembers on its own

Nights fold old wisps into tidy episodes; the things you ask about get stronger. And it can nudge you when today echoes something you saw before.

The real thing

Not a mockup.

Actual screenshots from the app — swipe through, or let it play.

Asked to re-enable screen access after updating?

That's expected. macOS recognises apps by an exact signature, and updating changes it — so it treats the new version as a different app and drops the old permission. Nothing is lost and your memories stay put. Since 0.18.0 Rewisp handles this for you: after updating it opens a page that clears the stale entry and puts you one click from switching it back on. This disappears once Rewisp is signed with an Apple developer certificate.

Private by construction

It remembers everything.
It shares nothing.

Most "memory" apps record your screen to the cloud. Rewisp was built the opposite way — the pixels are gone before anything is saved.

How it works

Three quiet steps.

It notices

Smart triggers — switching apps, opening a page, settling after a scroll — catch a wisp of the moment. No constant recording.

It reads

Apple's Vision framework turns each wisp into text on-device. The screenshot is never saved — only what it said.

It answers

Hit ⌘⇧Space and ask in plain English. Full-text search finds the moment; a model writes the answer with source and time.

Everything else

Small app. Long memory.

Fills forms for you

Reads every field on a signup or checkout page, pulls your details from the Vault, fills them in. Never passwords or cards, and never submits — you review and send.

Six engines, one chain

Apple on-device, a bundled local model, Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT. Set an order — it falls through to the next whenever one comes up short.

Nightly digest

At 9 PM, one summary of your day: what happened, what's unfinished, what it learned about you — every fact needs your approval.

Touch ID Vault

Drop in your resume, addresses, standard answers. Locked behind your fingerprint, treated as trusted truth, filled back to you instantly.

Runs a local model

On first launch it checks your Mac and offers a local model that fits — unlimited, offline, private. Or skip it and stay fully on-device.

Time, honestly

See where the day actually went — minutes per app, computed locally from what you looked at. No timers, no upload.

Memory you control

A plain markdown file of what it knows. Approve, edit, or delete any line. It never confirms anything on its own.

Native, everywhere

SwiftUI menu bar app, global hotkeys, a Spotlight-style panel that fades in and grows with the answer. No Electron.

Give your agents your memory

Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client — they can search your screen history and read your promises while they work. Read-only, fully local, never spends your subscriptions.

Stays fresh

Updates arrive through GitHub Releases — the app checks daily and offers them with one click.

Why I built this

I kept forgetting
my own days.

Someone would ask what I did earlier and I'd genuinely have no answer. Not the big things, the ordinary ones: the page with the thing I needed, the number I saw once, what I said I'd follow up on.

So I'd go digging. Browser history, twelve tabs, a Slack search, the folder I swore I saved it in. Ten minutes to recover something I'd already seen with my own eyes an hour earlier.

Rewisp is the fix I wanted for myself. It quietly remembers what crossed my screen, and I just ask. No digging. That's the whole idea, and I use it every day.
