Backtrack is a meeting recording app that overwrites a 5 hour window of audio/video over and over throughout the day, locally on your Mac. It allows you to privately save anything you've seen, said, or heard in the past and turn it into AI notes/summaries.
Backtrack originally came into being in 2019, as a side project, on our flight home from SF after a rough VC meeting. There was no way to record and remember moments after they had already happened.
Fast forward to today, with a successful V1 Product Hunt launch & a product with a strong heart beat, we knew it was time to give the community what they wanted and deserved.
Backtrack 2.0 is finally live on Product Hunt.
It's a MacOS app that locally records your screen and audio (backwards) to catch those unexpected moments.
There's a few things to know:
1. It records backwards - the signal to noise ratio in Backtrack is very high since we let you record backwards, giving you control over what to save.
2. It's 100% local recording - all recording is done locally on your Mac and we take it incredibly seriously.
3. Export your data - after creating a recording you can export your data and decide what to do with it. You aren't forced into anything.
4. Know your recording laws - just like with regular meeting recorders or specific interactions, know ahead of time if you need to properly disclose you're recording.
We've worked around the clock this last year to bring the community exciting new features in the app like:
- Internal Audio
- Screen Recording
- Transcription
- Integrations
& more!
I'm proud of the work my cofounder @huntermoonshot and the team has done. We owe the biggest THANK YOU to each and every single one of you. Your support means the world to us and we wouldn't be here without you all. Thank you @apompliano for the hunt today 🔥🤝
Today I'm excited to hunt Backtrack 2.0 here on Product Hunt. The team has been hard at work behind the scenes working on the product and it's great to finally see it here live. Excited to be in their corner today!
I have also been lucky enough to be an early Backtrack user. I absolutely love it! The founders are awesome and you can tell they are extremely enthusiastic about the product they are building. Can't wait to see what they roll out next.
Exploring Backtrack 2.0's audio rewinds feels like having a magical time machine. Memories are encapsulated in sound, letting me revisit experiences with a smile.
BackTrack is interesting. I can't recall any other product in the market that comes with such capabilities. Congratulations on the launch @jordanlwalkerrr @namesphill @huntermoonshot
Backtrack has made me conscious of what I say in front of my laptop now. Every word uttered in the presence of my laptop feels like a potential scandal waiting to be exposed. Thanks to Backtrack!
