What you get

You can return to what you played, right where you stopped.

You get one place to find the songs, podcasts, and videos you’ve played, rather than retracing your steps through apps and tabs. Echo remembers your position in supported Mac apps and, with its companion extension, browser media. Press a global shortcut to bring up your recent playback and resume at the exact second you left off.

You can save a moment worth revisiting with one keypress, including the ten seconds leading up to it. Rename or pin entries to make them easier to find, or copy a timestamped link when you want to point someone to a particular moment.

You can also keep a video floating above your work, with a click-through mode that lets you interact underneath it. When you leave your Mac, scan a code to continue on your phone from the same spot.

  • Retrace less

    You can find recent media from supported apps and browser tabs in one history.

  • Resume without guessing

    You return to the exact second you stopped, without scrubbing around to find your place.

  • Keep the memorable moment

    You can bookmark an exact spot and the ten seconds before it with one keypress.

  • Watch while you work

    You can float a video above other apps and click through it to keep working underneath.

  • Continue on your phone

    You can scan a code to pick up playback on your phone at the same second.

Best for

  • You switch between podcasts, music apps, and browser videos
  • You often leave videos or podcasts unfinished
  • You want to revisit or share specific moments

Skip it if

You probably don’t need Echo if you use one media app and its playback history already meets your needs.
