Knowledge work is mostly switching: a call interrupts a tutorial, a Slack ping pulls you off a talk, you mute the focus playlist to think, and an hour later you cannot remember the name of the video that had the one diagram you needed. None of your apps remember either. Echo is built for exactly this.
The problem: your attention is split across apps
On a normal day your media lives in five places at once: a podcast in one app, a recorded talk in a browser tab, a tutorial on YouTube, focus music in Spotify, a webinar in another tab. Each one keeps its own shallow, separate history, and the moment you switch away, your place is at the mercy of whether that particular app bothered to save it. Usually it did not.
One keystroke back to anything
Echo sits in the menu bar and quietly records what you play, everywhere. Press ⌘⇧E and you get a single searchable list of everything, newest first. Pick the talk you paused for your stand-up and Echo reopens it at the exact second you stopped. No hunting through tabs, no scrubbing, no "which app was that in".
Lost the track that had you in deep work? It is the top of your history. One keystroke puts you back exactly where the focus was, instead of breaking concentration to go and find it.
A searchable memory of your day
Because Echo keeps everything in one place, "what was that?" becomes a search, not an archaeology dig. Half-remember the topic, the channel, or the app? Type a few words and it surfaces. The half-finished things wait on a Shelf so you can come back when the meeting block clears, rather than leaving twenty tabs open as a fragile to-do list.
Bookmark the bit that mattered
When a talk or tutorial hits the part you will want to quote or rewatch, save a Moment with a keypress. Later, jump straight back to that second instead of skimming a 50-minute recording to find the 90 seconds you needed. For anyone who learns from long-form video and audio, this alone earns its place.
Private and on-device
What you watch and listen to for work can be sensitive, so Echo keeps all of it on your Mac, with no account and no cloud. There is nothing to log into and nothing syncing your history to a server. It is a personal memory, not a profile.
