JustNow

You just closed that window.
Now get it back.

JustNow keeps a short, local history of your screen so you can rewind to the thing you just closed and copy the bit you needed. No cloud. No subscription. No AI trying to be your life coach.

Free, open source, signed, notarised. Requires macOS 15+.

JustNow's rewind overlay showing a recent browser frame and drag-to-grab text selection
Rewind a moment. Drag the bit you want. Move on with your life.

Why it’s useful

Rewind fast

Hit ⌘⌥J, scrub backwards, find the thing, leave. No ceremony.

Grab text from old frames

Drag over a frame and JustNow copies the text. Handy for links, errors, codes, and other nonsense you forgot to save.

Private by default

Everything stays on your Mac in ~/Library/Application Support/JustNow/. As it should.

Doesn’t act important

Duplicate frames get skipped, battery use is kept in check, and there’s no permanent purple “look at me” screen-sharing dot.
