A live coding environment with a real URL, a database with no schema, and a time machine that records every request — all from one email.
No password. No credit card. Click the link and you land in the editor.
You type your email. We send a link. You click it. You're in the editor.
A working example is already there. The subdomain is already serving it. Every request you make is already being recorded.
The whole stack is AGPL-licensed and public on GitHub. Read it. Run it. Fork it. Host it yourself, free forever.
You pay us to run it for you. That's the whole deal.
$ git clone github.com/rewind-js/rewind $ cd rewind $ docker compose up → live at localhost:8080
We will never relicense Rewind to a non-free license. Not when we're bigger. Not if we're acquired. The repo is AGPL and that's the contract.
No matter how senior you are. Some pretty good engineers have said as much.
Aggressive use of a debugger gives you insight you won't get by mere inspection.
Creators need an immediate connection to what they're creating. So much of creation is discovery, and you can't discover anything if you can't see what you're doing.
They're both right. The reason most of us don't watch our code is that the tools have been painful, partial, or both.
Rewind is the tool that isn't.
Replays run on the same QuickJS engine that recorded them, compiled to WebAssembly. Deterministic execution, not approximation.
Mark any variable as private. Masked at record time, never stored.
Free forever as long as it's active. Bring your own domain anytime.
Your code, your data, your recordings. Download or self-host whenever.
Recordings live on OVH-backed S3 storage, not a US hyperscaler.
