How I'm using two different AI tools to approximate what Rewind used to do.

The Rewind replacement question is complicated than it looked at first. Rewind was quietly doing two separate things. Passive capture, so it caught things before you knew you'd need them. And retrieval, so you could surface any of it later. When it died both problems needed separate answers and the tools that exist are mostly built for one or the other. Mem.ai I used for a few months. Good at connecting notes you deliberately put in. Doesn't see the screen, doesn't capture ambient context. Smart memory for intentional inputs. Screenpipe for passive capture.
