Searchable screen history for Linux - fully private & local
RewindOS captures your screen, OCRs it, and makes everything you've ever seen instantly searchable — all 100% on your machine. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Open-source (MIT), built for Linux/Wayland. Full-text + optional semantic search, a timelapse rewind view, and an Ask-AI mode that answers from your own history with citations.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built RewindOS because I wanted "what was that thing I saw last Tuesday?" to be answerable — on Linux, without sending my screen to anyone's cloud.
I'd been using ActivityWatch, but it tracks *time per app*, not *what you actually saw*, so it couldn't help with recall. Everything here runs locally: capture (Wayland portal + PipeWire), OCR (Tesseract), search (SQLite FTS5), and optional AI via local Ollama. And its fully open source and MIT Licensed :)

Who hunted GitHub?
GitHub was hunted by New User. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
