You remember seeing the answer. You do not remember which window contained it.
OGAD (Off Grid AI Desktop) Pro can save sampled screen activity on Windows after you enable capture. Replay lets you move back through those retained moments, so you can find a page, document, or detail without taking a note every time something looks useful.

Prepare the local models first and keep the processing route local when you want captured work analyzed on your PC. The app, model downloads, and Pro activation need setup before you rely on the workflow without internet.
Remember the screen even when you forget the app
A saved frame can restore more context than an isolated phrase. You can see the window, nearby text, and the point in your day when it appeared.
That is useful when you remember the shape of a diagram, the heading of a document, or a table on a page. Open the day in Replay and move through the frames until the context looks familiar.
The record is sampled activity, not a continuous video of every second. It starts after you opt in. It cannot recover a screen from before capture began or from a period when capture was paused.
Windows Replay is included in the public OGAD 0.0.51 release.
Set up a small first session
Choose a non-sensitive document with a heading you will recognize. Use that for your first check before relying on screen history for a whole workday.
- Install OGAD for Windows and activate Pro.
- Prepare a suitable local vision model for screen analysis. Keep the processing route on your PC.
- Open Replay and use its capture control to enable or resume capture.
- Check the visible Capturing state, then work with the document normally.
- Return to Replay after capture has had time to save frames. Allow model processing time for the related analysis.
Use Pause capture before material you do not want recorded. Capture is a separate choice from installing the app or activating Pro.
Windows uses screen images for this workflow. It does not have the macOS Accessibility text source, so do not expect every text field or document to become a complete searchable text archive.
Find the moment again
Open Replay and use the day arrows to select the day you remember. Move the timeline slider to browse the saved frames. The previous and next controls let you step through them; playback lets you scan a sequence.
When you recognize the screen, stop playback and read the saved context. Use the visible page heading, window title, or document clues to return to the original item in its app.
Replay shows retained images. It does not guarantee that the original file still exists or that a website has kept the same content. A saved screen can still help you recover the name or phrase you need for your next search.
When part of the day is missing
| What you see | What to check |
|---|---|
| No frames for the day | Confirm the selected date and whether capture was active then. |
| Frames but little useful analysis | Check that the local vision model is ready and allow processing to finish. |
| A gap between frames | Capture may have been paused, excluded the screen, or not retained that moment. |
| “Capture file missing” | The saved image is no longer available at its expected location. |
Try a short session first. If that produces usable frames, you have a clear basis for building more history. If it does not, check the capture state and local model readiness before leaving it running longer.
Screen capture and clipboard history have separate controls. Pausing one should not be treated as pausing the other. Deleting saved capture data is also separate from pausing new capture.
Use the record to recover a document name
Imagine you looked at a supplier comparison yesterday, then closed the browser and forgot the page title. Start with the approximate time you saw it. In Replay, move to that part of the day and look for the familiar table or window layout.
When you find a matching frame, read the visible title and a distinctive phrase. Use those clues in the original app or browser to locate the live source. If the frame contains only part of the table, do not treat it as the complete supplier comparison.
This is a different result from a full screen video or a browser-history restore. The retained moment gives you a way back to the work, even when it cannot reopen the original item automatically.
Check what the first session actually retained
For your first test, open a harmless document with a unique heading, leave it visible during normal work and later find its frame in Replay. Note whether the visible words are readable and whether the saved sequence covers the part of the session you expected.
If the frame exists but text is hard to read, try a clearer view during the next deliberate session. If there is no frame, check the capture state and selected day first. Asking a model to summarize a missing record cannot restore it.
Keep a short list of the outcomes you want from this history: recovering a page title, checking a diagram you saw or finding the time a document appeared. Those goals help you judge whether the sampled record is useful without expecting it to become a complete recording of everything you did.
Give yourself a way back
Download OGAD for Windows, enable Pro capture for one session you choose, and find a recognizable screen in Replay afterward. You can build a local visual record without writing a separate note for every useful thing you see.
