Have you ever come across an amazing Instagram Live session maybe a tutorial, interview, or special moment and wished you could rewatch it later?

I found myself in that exact situation more than once. Lives happen in real-time, and once they’re over, they’re gone unless the host chooses to share the replay. Even then, replays can disappear after 24 hours. That’s when I realized: people need a way to save the moments that matter.

💡 The Problem: Live, Then Gone

Instagram Live is one of the most powerful formats for authentic content but it’s temporary by design.

  • You join a live too late and miss the beginning.
  • You get distracted and can’t focus fully.
  • The creator doesn’t save it to their story.
  • Valuable tips, emotional stories, or creative sessions disappear.

Many users were asking: "How do I save this live stream?" and the usual answers involved screen recorders or complicated workarounds.

🛠 The Solution: Rewind Live
That’s why I built Rewind Live a simple mobile app that helps users record and save Instagram Live streams to their device so they can watch them anytime, without missing a moment.

🚀 Key Features

  • 📺 Live Stream Detection: Automatically detects active Instagram Lives.
  • ⏺ One-Tap Recording: Start saving with a single tap.
  • 💾 Offline Access: Watch the recording later, even without internet.
  • 🧠 No Tech Skills Required: Clean, simple interface anyone can use.

⚙️ How I Built It (Brief Tech Overview)
This app is built using Flutter, so it's cross-platform (Android first, iOS soon). I integrated it with accessibility services and optimized background recording features. I also worked hard to ensure the app remains lightweight and respects device performance.

🙌 Who It's For

  • Creators who want to keep a copy of their own lives
  • Fans who don’t want to miss a moment from their favorite influencers
  • Students learning from live sessions and tutorials
  • Anyone who wants to relive a special live moment later
