Rewind vs Samatic

Rewind turns any date range in your Camera Roll into a vintage cassette reel — set to the music you were listening to at the time. Pick a spring break weekend. A first date. Last summer. Your best friend's birthday party. Rewind scans that time window in your Camera Roll and your Apple Music library, then builds a short vertical reel with the photos and songs from that exact moment. The finished tape opens on a cassette-style title card, plays through your photos with a Ken Burns pan and diagonal-striped bottom bar, and closes on a "made with Rewind" outro. Ready to post straight to Instagram Stories, TikTok, or wherever. FEATURES - Auto-pick photos from any date range you choose - Match songs from your Apple Music library that you played during that time - Pick your own soundtrack (up to 4 songs with Rewind+) - Vintage color filters — Sunset, Ocean, Super 8, Midnight, or Original - Ken Burns motion, crossfade transitions, cassette intro & outro - Vertical 9:16 export at HD or 4K - Blurred backdrop on landscape and square photos so nothing gets cropped out - Live Photos boosted in the sample so the moments you cared enough to capture with motion make the cut PRIVACY Rewind processes everything on your iPhone. No photos are uploaded. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing about your Camera Roll ever leaves your device. REWIND+ Rewind is free to use with a small watermark. Upgrade to Rewind+ to remove the watermark and unlock: - Reel lengths from 75 seconds up to 5 minutes - 4K vertical render - Multi-song soundtracks (up to 4) - All transition styles (Cut, Slide, Flip, Dissolve) - All color filters (Super 8, Midnight) - Every future postcard pack Rewind+ options: $1.99/month, $19.99/year, or a $39.99 one-time lifetime unlock.

A slide projector, for the photographs already on your phone. Samatic is two halves of one machine. Your iPhone is the clicker — the corded remote, with the switch, the counter, the focus and the tray of slides. Your Apple TV is the projector and the screen. Load an album. Slide the switch across to LAMP. Press FOR, and the first picture comes up on the television. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Samatic on the Apple TV and leave it showing. 2. The phone finds the television by itself. The cord at the bottom of the clicker shows when the two are joined. 3. Tap the label slot near the top of the machine and choose an album. That album is your tray of slides. 4. Push the switch across to LAMP — push it with your thumb, it doesn't answer a tap. 5. FOR for the next picture. REV to go back one. 6. Hold FOCUS to send the picture soft, and the other end to bring it sharp, the way a real lens does. 7. Press AUTO and the pictures change by themselves. The timer decides how long each one stays up. 8. Switch back to OFF when the show is over. THE MACHINE The lamp takes a moment to come up to temperature. The fan runs while it's warm. The tray clunks as it turns. You can switch the sound and the vibration off if you'd rather it ran quietly. There's a service record inside the leaflet, counting the shows you've given, the slides you've projected and the hours on the lamp. Nothing here can be broken and no photograph can be lost, so press whatever you like and see what it does. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS STAY YOURS There is no account. There is no sign-in. There is no Samatic server, because there is no Samatic company — just one person who wanted this to exist. Your photographs go from your phone to your own television, directly, over your own Wi-Fi. They are never uploaded anywhere. Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked, nothing is sold, and there is no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting of any kind. FREE, AND ALL OF IT No subscription. No in-app purchases. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone and an Apple TV on the same Wi-Fi network. Samatic is an original design, made in homage to the rotary-tray slide projectors of the 1960s and 70s. It is not made by, endorsed by, or associated with Eastman Kodak Company, and no manufacturer's trademark or letterform is reproduced.
