Limitless is no longer for sale. Here is what to buy instead.

If you already own a Limitless Pendant

Nothing has to change today. The company said existing customers keep the Unlimited plan for free and that support runs throughout 2026. The sensible plan is to export your data now, while the export tool is confirmed working, and decide on a successor before support ends. The export and migration guide covers the steps, including the developer API and one documented import path.

We would not buy a used Pendant as a new setup. Limitless has not said what happens to the service after 2026, and we do not print second-hand prices because we cannot source them reliably.

What the Limitless Pendant was

The Limitless Pendant was a small wearable that could clip to a shirt like a wireless microphone or hang from a cord like a necklace. TechCrunch described it as an AI-powered pendant that records your conversations, and reported that Limitless, formerly known as Rewind, sold it for $99. Reuters described it as a device that "records conversations, and can generate transcripts and produce searchable summaries through a companion app." It kept audio, which is why the company's export tool includes audio files and why its developer API has an endpoint for downloading Pendant audio as Ogg Opus files.

That design matters for what comes next. Because the Pendant stored recordings and the company's apps handled transcripts, summaries and search, moving on means moving data, not only buying new hardware. It also means that the replacement you choose should match how you used the Pendant: as an always-on memory, as a recorder for particular meetings, or as a cheap experiment.

Why the search for an alternative is different from other product searches

Most "alternative" searches are about price or features. This one is about continuity. Limitless committed to support existing customers throughout 2026 and said nothing about after that. New buyers cannot get a Pendant from the company at all. Owners therefore have two jobs: keep their history safe, and choose a device that will still be supported when theirs stops being. We built this site around those two jobs. The export guide covers the first and the what to buy page covers the second.

Timeline of what is documented

• December 5, 2025. Limitless announces that Meta has acquired it. Reuters and TechCrunch report the deal. Pendant sales stop the same day, and service ends in Brazil, China, the European Union, Israel, South Korea, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
• December 19, 2025. The deadline for users in those regions to download their data, and the date the Rewind app disabled screen and audio capture.
• Throughout 2026. Limitless says it will keep supporting existing Pendant customers, on a free Unlimited plan.
• After 2026. Not stated by the company.

Each of these dates comes from Limitless's own FAQ or the news reports cited in the Sources block. The what happened page goes through them in more detail, including what the record does not say. If you are reading this after the end of 2026, check the Limitless site for the current position before relying on this page.

Where to go from here

Owners should start with the export and migration guide. Shoppers should read what to buy. Anyone with a specific question can try the FAQ. If you are still comparing options, Legend Memory also has a ranked guide to AI wearables.

How we handle Legend on a Limitless site

This site is operated by the team behind Legend Memory, which makes one of the devices listed. That is a conflict of interest and we treat it as one. Legend appears in the same table as every other option, we print its weaknesses (no playback, the highest recurring cost of the group), and we omit facts we cannot reconcile. Every outside number comes from a maker page or a named news outlet and carries a date. The method is on the About page.
