    Local Snapshots have been available on OSX and MacOS since 2011 as long as you use Time Machine to make backups.

      There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.

      Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.

      This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

        NTFS has that exact feature too, a log of file operations on the disk. They’ve had it long before Recall was a thing.

      I’m referring to Microsoft’s AI Recall, but Apple should apply it to its MacOS or all its devices.
