1. Choose a day
Click History, or use History by day → All days, Today, Yesterday. Use Last hour for recent work. Optional From and Through controls include hours and minutes in the displayed timezone; the ending minute is included. Repeated screens form expandable groups. Choose Show every recording or move to the previous or next change to inspect the originals.
2. Search for words from the screen
Type a phrase in Search recorded work and press Return. In this example, Expenses finds words read from an Excel tutorial image. The default Words & meaning search shows local text matches first, then adds related meanings. The compact menu also offers Words, Exact phrase, Pattern and Meaning. These modes work without AI allowance; missing embeddings do not remove text matches. An AI investigation may add results after submission when allowance is available. Choose Stop to end it. Type part of an app name and choose a recorded-app suggestion, set optional date and time bounds, then choose Apply. These filters apply to every search step.
3. Open a result
Choose Open. The Evidence panel shows the saved screen and text read from it. Select text and press ⌘C, or choose Copy text to copy all recorded OCR in reading order. Close Evidence with ×.
4. Adjust the scope
Use the result-type labels to choose screens, summaries, procedures or answers. Clear unwanted app/date filters. History by day returns to History; it clears a previous search phrase and evidence selection while keeping the app filter visible.
5. Load more when needed
Show more appears when another page exists. A spinner stays visible while the next page loads. A short result list does not need this button.
Results group related screens by document and revision. Recording notices are separate from content. If some memories are incomplete, check the listed gaps before relying on a result. A small hourly preview cannot prove fine details from another moment.
6. Explore the saved document
From Evidence, choose Explore this document region. In Documents, open a document, scroll to zoom, and drag to move. Fit document fits its saved parts into view. Uncertain matches remain separate.
