- Mac users trying to recover previously viewed text
- Worth noticing
- A system-wide Control-Option-Space shortcut is shown opening a moment, with options to copy text or reopen its source app.
Field notes
The illustrated workflow traces a search for “invoice” through 14 matches, a preview, and actions to open the moment, copy text, or reopen Mail. It also shows a Control-Option-Space shortcut and examples spanning archived email, chat, browser tabs, and Terminal. The site says text reading happens on the Mac and that nothing leaves it; the demo explicitly labels its names and numbers as made up.
