Yes, it's similar to RewindAI. I was inspired by them :) I mentioned this and listed them as inspirations on Product Hunt. However, I'm aiming to create a local ecosystem, and this is just the beginning. I have a lot of ideas in mind (but little time), so I'm progressing day by day.
Honestly, I don't even know if it's a coincidence or done on purpose. Initially, I'm just a simple developer who shared my bugs on Reddit and other platforms to find solutions to my problems. When I saw that Microsoft had the same functionality and the same name, my first thought was that there was no point in continuing this project because I would never be able to compete with them. Originally, I wanted to launch on June 27th, and I talked about this situation on Reddit. That's when I received a lot of feedback, which really warmed my heart. So, I decided to open-source my project, create a landing page in two days, and now I'm gradually building the project and making it publicly available for everyone.
Originally, Remind was supposed to be called Recall AI, a project I have been working on since last December. However, last week I was watching a video about the new Copilot+ laptops and noticed they featured the same functionality with the same name. So, I decided to open-source the project, rename it to Remind, and publish the landing page as quickly as possible. The reason I believe Remind will be better than other solutions is that it will be completely local, free, and private for users. I provided a demo, a link to the GitHub repository with all the code, and some information on how I implemented the solution. Since I launched it quickly, the site is obviously rushed, but you can check the public code—it is not a spyware at all. Although I'm just at the beginning, it already looks quite promising compared to existing paid and non-private solutions.
This still doesn’t address the claim that ‘first’ is wrong, and that sort of hyperbole, if wrong, is quite off-putting. If this is really ‘quite promising compared to existing…solutions’, there’s no need for inflated claims.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a bit of my journey with you all and maybe get some advice or find some folks interested in collaborating.
About six months ago, I was really inspired by RewindAI and decided to create my own local memory app called "Recall". The idea was to build something that could capture and index digital activity, making it easy to remember and find information later.
After months of hard work, I finally got Recall to a point where it was working well. I've managed to ask him for information on my activity from a week ago with details and all that locally with local llms! It was exciting to see it come together and actually do what I hoped it would.
But then, I found out yesterday that the new Copilot+ laptops have a feature called "Recall" that does pretty much the same thing but better. It was a bit of a shock. Here I was, thinking I had something unique, only to see it already out there in a big way.
So, now I'm not sure what to think. Instead of giving up, I decided to open-source Recall and rename it reMind. I believe that by sharing it, maybe some of you might have ideas or want to help improve it. If you’re interested, I’d love to hear from you!
