Hindsight is a local-first, open-source desktop application that automatically tracks usage time for every application on your computer. It uses AI to generate daily summaries and reports, and with screen memory enabled, users can query their past activities using natural language questions such as "How long did I use Cursor last week?" or "When did I last look up information about X?". Available for Windows and macOS as a small downloadable executable, it prioritizes complete user data privacy by running everything locally.
Hindsight sits in PulseGate's Productivity & Work category. It focuses on forgetting what you worked on, how long you spent in each app, or when you last accessed specific information on your computer. It is built as an open-source project for developers and knowledge workers. Hindsight is open source under the MIT license. Hindsight is available on the web, macOS, and Windows, and it can be self-hosted.
It is developed by Hindsight contributors, and the product first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 119 stars and 341 commits in the last 90 days. Key capabilities include App Usage Tracking, AI Daily Summaries, and Natural Language Queries.
