Best Limitless Alternatives in 2026

Limitless sold two things. One was the Pendant: a $99–$199 clip-on wearable that recorded in-person conversations and built a searchable lifelog. The other was software — the company began life as Rewind, a Mac app that captured your screen and let you scroll back through your own work, and rebranded the parent entity to Limitless on the way to the wearable.

Both ended on the same announcement. Per 9to5Mac and other reporting from December 5, 2025, Meta acquired Limitless, Pendant sales to new customers stopped that day, and service was discontinued immediately in Brazil, China, the EU, Israel, South Korea, Turkey, and the UK — users in those regions had until December 19 to export transcripts before account deletion. On December 19, 2025, an update disabled all screen and audio capture in the Rewind Mac app. Existing Pendant owners were promised support for at least a year and had the Unlimited Plan made free, which is a grace period rather than a roadmap.

So the useful first question is not "what is the closest thing to a Pendant" but "which half did I use". If the value was capturing hallway conversations and walk-and-talks away from a computer, you need hardware. If it was remembering meetings, calls, and what you were working on, that is a software problem and you already own the device. The table below keeps the two apart so you can replace the part you actually miss.
