Meeting Rewind is built for anyone who needs to catch every word—executives in back-to-back meetings, students in lectures, support agents on calls, interviewers, and anyone in fast-paced conversations. What it does - Record → Transcript → Save or Discard: Tap the floating button to start recording; tap again to stop. A transcript (on-device speech recognition) is shown; you can save the recording to the app’s library (Core Data) and share it, export to Notes, add to Reminders, or discard it. - Instant rewind: The app continuously buffers the last 15 seconds to 3 minutes of audio (configurable). When you miss something, trigger replay to hear that segment again without saving. The buffer is overwritten in real time. Use it anywhere - Floating button — Draggable overlay: tap to start or stop recording (Step 1); after stop, transcript sheet (Step 2) with Save/Discard (Step 3). Long-press to expand menu (Settings, Accessibility) or to rewind when recording. - Saved — Button on the main (Root) screen opens the saved recordings library: play, view transcript, share, export to Notes, add to Reminders, or delete. - Widgets — Home screen widget (Start/Stop/Replay), Control Center widget, and Live Activity (iOS 18). - Apple Watch (Wrist Rewind) — Start/stop buffering and trigger replay from your wrist via WatchConnectivity. - Keyboard — Meeting Rewind keyboard: Rewind, Start/Stop, Open App. - Share sheet — Start/stop buffering or replay from the system share menu. - Siri / Shortcuts — “Hey Siri, start Meeting Rewind” or “Stop Meeting Rewind”; App Intents support optional buffer length per shortcut. - Automation — In Settings, instructions to auto-start when Meeting focus is on or when a calendar event starts (via Shortcuts).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hyper Controller at none against Meeting Rewind's 1. Hyper Controller also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 18). Meeting Rewind's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
