No seriously, I'm really trying to find a legit scenario where such tool is actually needed and I honestly can't think on any.

There are plenty of tools out there to help you track your work so no need for any of this bullshit.

    legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

    The "legit" reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

    Regardless of the marketing spin they're putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS's LLM. They'll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the "release of information" clause into their T&Cs.

    Recall isn't for users. It's for Microsoft.
