It's amazing!

This is the app of my dreams! I've been using it for months, first on the free plan and for a couple of weeks on the paid plan. Allows me to save anything and everything. It automatically categorizes all my stuff. I've become so much more productive and it has also helped me think more clearly. Surprised me with the MCP! Please keep up the great work!

pdf support

would love if this could support pdf export. its such a powerful all in one tool but feels like a graveyard for my notes without multiple export options. not everyone exports in markdown and id rather not use both recall and obsidian just so i can export my notes as a pdf. the way i use obsidian is to store my research notes so i can make connections between them recall is so much better at that but without any pdf support its hard to make the switch. Would love it there were also home view options so users could switch from gallery to list to table views as they wish cause sometimes the gallery view can quickly look overwhelming and messy. Such a cool app though, I remember trying it almost a year ago I think and its so much more user friendly now.

No Longer Working In IOS

This app used to be the best app ever for YouTube summaries now it no longer works and just continues to flash in the app like it’s loading or buffering it worked up until last week so I don’t know what’s happening but I’m hoping it’s not abandoned.

Cost effective convenient AI based note taking and summarizing

If you need a place to save summarized notes from YouTube, articles and pdfs, this app is the best one I’ve tried. It’s releasing good features at a fast pace.

Finally, a Tool That Actually Works as a Second Brain

I use Recall constantly, mostly for saving and summarizing YouTube videos, and it's become one of the top tools in my stack. You can actually chat with the content you save, which sounds like a gimmick until you use it. It also connects your notes together automatically, whether you typed them yourself or pulled them from somewhere else, and that's something most tools just don't do.

The new text editor was the missing piece for me. It's similar to Notion, and honestly, without it I was close to fully committing but not quite there. Now I can capture ideas fast and actually go back to them without friction. The updated quiz feature is really well done. I've always had this problem where I collect a ton of information and then can't remember any of it or put it into context. Having a quiz built right into the same place where I store everything actually helps with that.

I already had a lifetime deal on a similar tool. Paid a good amount for it. Still switched to a yearly Recall subscription because it's just that much better.

The team is really responsive and they don't rush things out. You can tell they think features through before shipping them. I can't say enough good things about the tool or the people behind it. Definitely top three in my tool stack.
