You edited the document. Now you cannot remember which one.
OGAD (Off Grid AI Desktop) can help you find its context in your captured Mac activity. After you enable Pro screen capture, search a phrase, project or visible detail and inspect the matching moment in Replay. That can lead you back to the right file without remembering its exact name.

Search by the work, not just the filename
You may remember a section heading, a client name or the problem you were solving. Try those clues first. A phrase such as “delivery assumptions” can be more useful than guessing whether the file was called “proposal-final” or “proposal-v3.”
This is especially useful when you worked in several similar documents or browser-based editors. The captured screen can show the app, visible heading and nearby context that help you recognize the right one.
OGAD does not automatically index every file on your disk through screen capture. It records selected moments of visible activity. An unopened file or a page you never displayed may not be in that record.
Enable the record before your next work session
Use OGAD Pro on Mac with the local analysis models prepared. Review Screen Recording and Accessibility in Settings → Setup & health → System permissions. Then open Replay or the Capture settings section and choose Resume capture.
Check the visible Capturing status while working. Use Pause capture whenever you want the record to stop. Download models and finish Pro setup before relying on local processing without internet.
For your first check, use a non-sensitive document with a distinctive heading. Work in it normally, then give capture and analysis time to save an observation.
Find the document context
- Open Search and enter the heading, project or phrase you remember.
- Narrow Sources to the relevant editing app when it is available.
- Use Recent if you remember roughly when you worked on it.
- Open a screen-history result to inspect the saved moment in Replay.
- Use the visible title and content to identify the document.
- Reopen it through the original app’s recent files, its project list or Finder.
A screen result is a saved view, not a guaranteed direct link to the file. If the file has moved or been deleted, Replay does not restore it.
Distinguish screen history from uploaded documents
Search can also return documents that you explicitly added to an OGAD Project. Those results use the uploaded-document route and open the associated project chat. They do not necessarily open the original file in its editor or select the exact paragraph.
The result type matters. A captured screen helps you recognize prior work; an uploaded project document gives the model material you deliberately supplied. Neither means the app has a complete filesystem backup.
Use the saved frame to restart the work
Once you identify the file, inspect the current document before continuing. The saved frame may show an older version, while the live file contains later edits from you or someone else.
A useful restart note is short: which section you were editing, what question was unresolved and what to check next. Write it from the frame and the current file. Avoid assuming that something visible on screen was saved or approved.
If the first search misses, use fewer words or another heading. Check a nearby day in Replay. Capture gaps, retention and text the app could not read can all limit what is available.
The guide follows the Mac Pro Search and Replay workflow associated with OGAD 0.0.51. Local models keep this analysis local; remote provider and file-backup choices have their own data paths.
Make one work session easier to resume
Download OGAD for Mac, enable capture for a document session and search its distinctive heading afterward. Use the saved context to reopen the right file and continue from the actual state of the work.
