Rewindy — The Instant Replay Screen Recorder
Description from store

Ever wish you could rewind time — at least on your screen? With Rewindy, you can use instant replay to capture moments *after* they happen and save only what matters. 🎯

Keep Rewindy on — and never miss a recording of what just happened. ⏪

✨ How It Works in 3 Simple Steps
1. Activate: Start Rewindy with one click or press Space. It runs quietly as a background screen recorder.
2. Do Your Thing: Browse, work, or test as usual — Rewindy keeps a rolling buffer of your past screen activity.
3. Capture the Past: When something important happens, press Space (or click) to instantly save the last seconds or minutes as a game clip or bug report.

Rewindy is a fast, lightweight chrome screen recorder with an instant replay buffer. As a fully offline recorder, everything stays on your device. 🔒 It's completely free — no ads, no watermarks, and no trials.

🎯 Why Rewindy?
Traditional screen recorders make you hit record before the action — and leave you sorting through long videos later. Rewindy flips the script. It uses a shadow recording technique, continuously buffering your screen so you can save the perfect screen capture after the moment passes. No bloat, no tedious editing.

🔒 Privacy-Focused

🧩 Format and Compatibility
