Retrace - Rewind for Notes

Every two seconds of quiet, Rewind silently snapshots your note. Scrub back through hours, days, weeks. Nothing you write is ever lost.

Retrace is a minimal notes app with a single promise: nothing you write is ever lost.

Write freely. After every two seconds of quiet, Rewind quietly snapshots your note. You can scrub through those snapshots like a film reel — see what your idea looked like an hour ago, last night, a week ago.

— TIME MACHINE FOR YOUR NOTES —

· Automatic, silent snapshots. No thinking required. · Drag the filmstrip to revisit any past version. · Tap "restore" — the current state is saved as another version. So you can never lose anything by going back. · Mark important moments manually with one tap.

— A FOCUSED EDITOR —

· No menus. No formatting bar. Just space to think. · Inline checklists — tap the checkbox to mark done. · Attach images. · Auto-save after 2 seconds of idle.

— TAKE IT WITH YOU —

· iCloud sync across all your devices, end to end through your own Apple account. · Home Screen widget for quick capture and today's notes. · Siri shortcuts: "open my last note," "quick capture." · One-tap export to Markdown, PDF, or a beautiful long-image Time Album.

— YOURS, ALWAYS —

· No accounts. No tracking. No ads. · Your data lives only on your device and in your own iCloud. · Available in 8 languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch. · Made by one person, for one person.

Retrace is built around a single feeling: the relief of knowing nothing you write will be lost. Once you trust that, you start writing more bravely.

Try it for a week.
