Do you want to see a "Windows Recall"-like feature on macOS?


Privacy issues aside, I think this would be a really useful feature. I already take screenshots while I use macOS. Automating this would be more convenient.

I've heard people talk about Rewind as being the equivalent for macOS:

I can’t and won’t put the privacy issues aside. If macOS does something like rewind I’ll be going to Linux after 21 years on OS X/macOS.

I don't want to see Recall crap stuff on Windows. I am afraid to buy a windows arm laptop bc of all this AI bs that Microsoft are advertisement, praying to Linux arm desktop be great and save snapdragon laptops

I agree that it would be useful. I wouldn’t trust a traditional laptop OS to keep this data secure though. I would rather do without.

Never. It's insane. We can't secure the workstation.

We've all probably seen the Mastodon post warning about e-discovery.

Now think about malware.

If you don't care for the system spying on your every move, (and doing who knows what else) just record the screen. There are various ways to do that. And then turn it off.

Or wear a dashcam, for air-gap isolation.

I think it is inevitable to see such AI features in Spotlight.

Nope. My Mac thank you. The recent view is good enough.
