What's New in Rewind

1.1.1

July 29, 2026

1.1.1 - Bug fixes Rewind now does discs. DVD, Blu-ray, and LaserDisc join VHS: scan spines and covers the same way, no barcodes, and keep every format in one collection. This is the biggest update since launch: - Scan your shelves. Photograph what you own and your whole collection catalogs itself. Shelf scans get their own home on the Collection tab. - Know where to hunt. More than 33,000 US stores, mapped. Save your regular spots, leave a note when one comes through, and check events near you. - A much bigger database. 190,000 titles with full cast, character names, and actual editions: distributors, catalog numbers, release years. - Search that knows people. Look up actors, directors, and studios, not just titles. - Guides. Curated collections, narrated by the reviewers. - Collection insights, sharper weekly picks, and a pile of smaller fixes.

User reviews

Game changer!

Such a great all-in-one app for VHS collectors! So many great features. I really like the ability to review other user’s collections, find nearby sources, and I especially love the scan feature!

Developer actually listens

I’ve been impressed with how the program keeps getting updates that actually improve things. I’ve been testing for a bit and you can tell the dev actually uses this and listens to their testers. Great improvements and fantastic app. Saved soooo much time.

Where have you been my whole life?

This app takes managing my dvd collection to another level. I appreciate how easy it was to scan and catalog my existing collection, and all the sorting options I have to look through them later.

The want list feature is cool too as it will instantly give me prices based on condition with a link to buy on eBay. I haven’t gone to suggested events listed in the event tab yet, but it shows many upcoming vhs swap meets (more than I thought existed!).
