About
Echo is a media memory for the Mac. It quietly remembers every song, podcast and video you play, across your native apps and your browser, and brings anything back at the exact second you left it with one keystroke. A command palette keeps the whole history searchable without touching the mouse, and any video can float in a small picture-in-picture window while you work.
Moments let you bookmark the exact part of a track or episode worth returning to, and a daily view shows your listening across sessions. Everything stays on the device: there is no account, no cloud and no telemetry, and the browser extension talks only to the Echo app on the same Mac. Echo is a one-time purchase of $4.99, one licence covers up to three Macs, and every future update is included free.

Curator's Note
“Solves the what-was-that-episode problem so completely it is hard to give up.”
