# OpenRewind
|
|
|
|
OpenRewind is an open-source alternative to [rewind.ai](https://rewind.ai), forked from [OpenRecall](https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall).
|
|
|
|
We want to create an open source app that provides similar core functionality
|
|
to rewind.ai, and that app is **OpenRewind**.
|
|
|
|
## Alpha Release: 0.8.0
|
|
|
|
Latest works: There is an Alpha version available! We currently only support Apple Silicon Macs.
|
|
(Of course, thanks to building on Electron, there will definitely be support for multiple platforms in the beta/stable release)
|
|
|
|
### ✨ Features
|
|
|
|
- GUI app. No terminal windows, no need to install any dependencies
|
|
- Take a screenshot of your screen every 2 seconds
|
|
- Encode screenshots to video at regular intervals
|
|
- A full screen "rewind" page similar to Rewind, with scrolling to view captured screenshots
|
|
- Screenshots can be taken excluding the "rewind" window
|
|
|
|
## To-dos
|
|
|
|
### OCR optimized for the specific platform
|
|
|
|
We will use the OCR API provided by the OS for macOS and Windows.
|
|
|
|
Reference projects:
|
|
- [ocrit](https://github.com/insidegui/ocrit/)
|
|
> We [forked](https://github.com/alikia2x/ocrit) this project to suit our needs
|
|
- [Windows.Media.Ocr.Cli](https://github.com/zh-h/Windows.Media.Ocr.Cli)
|
|
|
|
### Big-little architecture optimizations for Apple Silicon
|
|
|
|
We wrote a small Swift program that allows a given program to run at a selected QoS class. On ARM Mac, this means we can put some work (such as video encoding) to Efficient cores, reducing peak CPU usage and power consumption.

### Add More Features
|
|
|
|
We will be implementing the [feature list](https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall/discussions/9) proposed in the OpenRecall repository. Stay tuned for updates.
