A QUICK REWIND

The article you want.
An earlier version.

WebRewind looks for a saved version of the page on a third-party archive service, then takes you there.

Archives are independent of the publisher. Some pages haven’t been saved, and a snapshot can be incomplete or out of date. WebRewind can’t guarantee that every article will be available.

Journalism comes at a cost. For publications you value, consider supporting them directly with a subscription.

How do I set it up?

Install the app, enable WebRewind in Safari’s extension settings, and allow the permissions it needs. On Chrome, add it from the Chrome Web Store. Follow the setup steps.

Is WebRewind free?

You can try WebRewind for free on Apple devices. Annual and lifetime access are available in the app, and an introductory free trial may be available if you’re eligible. The purchase screen shows your local price and current offers. See the purchase details.

Why does it need website permissions?

The extension needs the current page’s address to find an archive and permission to help you on archive pages. Read about permissions.

What if there’s no archived version?

Try again later or check a different archive site in WebRewind’s settings. You can also use a publisher’s gift link, library access, or a subscription. Troubleshoot missing archives.
