Too bad about the reWind Mac app, which they've kneecapped with the latest update starting on Dec 19th even though it could probably have continued to function as a local-only thing. It was kind of nice as a local everything-memory, made some of my compliance work easier and stuff. Now deleting all the data and uninstalling it.

I also bought the Pendant but more out of techno-curiosity, never really used it much, so not much loss there. I'm sure a lot of people will be upset with the discontinuation of that, though.

Sqlite database on your local macbook is encrypted so there is no way to export data as far as I'm aware, I want to get access to it, and migrate to screenpipe. If anyone knows how to do an export of local database, please let me know.
You can use sqlcipher on the command line along with the global password which can be found here https://x.com/m1guelpf/status/1854959335161401492

I looked at Screenpipe but it doesn't fill me with confidence. The ideal solution would be a device-agnostic self-hosted service for archiving and searching screenshots. Would make data migration super simple. And then the app snapping the screenshots could be almost trivial.
