Why website permissions?

WebRewind needs the current page’s address to look for an archived version. Archive-page access lets the extension help with the Rewind process there. Safari and Chrome let you review or revoke website access in their extension settings.

If WebRewind doesn’t appear in Safari, confirm that the extension is enabled and allowed on the page you’re visiting. Some browser-internal pages do not support extensions.

If an article won’t open

Check that you started from the original article URL. Try another archive site in WebRewind’s settings, wait if the archive is busy, and complete any visible challenge. A missing snapshot or a snapshot containing the paywall cannot provide the full story.

Purchases and restore

Open WebRewind’s settings and choose Restore Purchases. Make sure the App Store uses the Apple Account that made the purchase. If nothing is found, contact us with the device, OS version, and what the app shows. Keep payment details out of your message.
