What Is Rewind?

Rewind is TimeNet Law's multi-step undo/redo system. It is not a simple one-step undo — it maintains a full history of your actions so you can step backward and forward through everything you've done.

  • Covers any action from Launchpad or Launchbar — time entries, expense entries, fee adjustments, and more
  • Multi-step history — undo multiple actions in sequence, not just the last one
  • Think of it as a safety net: work fast, fix mistakes instantly
  • No confirmation dialogs, no delays — Rewind works silently in the background

How to Use Rewind

Rewind is built into the standard macOS undo/redo system, so it works exactly the way you'd expect:

1

Undo: Edit → Undo (Z)

Each undo steps back one action at a time. Created a time entry by mistake? ⌘Z and it's gone.

2

Redo: Edit → Redo (Z)

Went too far? Redo steps forward if you undid too much. It reverses your undo.

That's it. Two keyboard shortcuts. Works across multiple actions in the same session — undo three entries in a row, or undo one and redo it immediately.

Pro Tip

⌘Z is the same shortcut you use in every other Mac app. No new muscle memory required — if you can undo in Pages or Mail, you can undo in TimeNet Law.

What's Covered

Rewind covers actions from the two primary command surfaces in TimeNet Law 6:

  • Actions from Launchpad — time entries, expenses, and adjustments created via Launchpad
  • Actions from Launchbar — voice commands, quick entries, and anything executed through the Launchbar
  • Actions inside individual Matter windows — coming in version 6.1
  • Actions inside Payment Center — coming in version 6.1

Version 6.1 will expand Rewind coverage to every window in the app. For now, Launchpad and Launchbar cover the vast majority of daily actions — entries, expenses, and adjustments.

Session History

Rewind maintains a full history for your current session. Here's how it works:

  • History persists as long as TimeNet Law is running — you can undo actions from the beginning of the session even hours later
  • Quitting the app clears the undo history — start fresh each time you launch
  • No artificial limits — there's no cap on how many steps back you can go within a session

Full persistent history with granular restore control via Launchbar is coming in version 6.1. That update will let you browse and selectively restore individual actions from previous sessions — a complete audit trail with restore capability.

Pro Tip

If you're doing a batch of entries and want to keep your undo history available, don't quit TimeNet Law between sessions. Minimize it or hide it — your full history stays intact.

Tips

  • Don't be afraid to work fast — Rewind has your back. Speed up your workflow knowing you can undo any mistake instantly.
  • Created the wrong entry from a voice command? Z and try again. No need to find and delete it manually.
  • Accidentally added an expense to the wrong matter? Undo, fix it, redo. Three keystrokes and you're corrected.
  • Rewind works silently — no confirmation dialogs, no delays. It just works in the background like undo in any Mac app.
  • Chain undos together — made three bad entries in a row? Hit ⌘Z three times. Each step reverses one action.
Pro Tip

Rewind is especially powerful during end-of-day billing. Rapid-fire entries from voice or Quick Capture, undo any that don't look right, redo anything you changed your mind about. It's the safety net that lets you move at full speed.
