Recall turns your study material into flashcards — and helps you actually remember them. Snap a photo of a textbook page or your notes, import a PDF, or record a lecture, and Recall's on-device intelligence writes clear question-and-answer cards for you. Then a proven spaced-repetition schedule brings each card back at just the right moment, so knowledge sticks — for exams and beyond. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Recall makes zero network requests. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no cloud server — try it in Airplane Mode. Your notes, cards, and progress never leave your iPhone. Pay once; there is no subscription. MAKE CARDS FROM ANYTHING • Scan pages with the camera, or import photos, PDFs, or text notes • Record or import an audio lecture and have it transcribed into cards • Add image-occlusion cards — hide the labels on a diagram and reveal them one at a time • Text is read and cards are written on-device with Apple Intelligence STUDY THAT WORKS • Modern FSRS spaced repetition schedules every card for the best recall • Exam mode makes sure every card is seen before the big day • A quick multiple-choice quiz mode • Tap Explain for an on-device explanation and a memory hook • Warm, encouraging progress — a streak, retention, and a mastery map, never guilt FITS YOUR LIFE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what is due at a glance • Share text, PDFs, or photos into Recall from any app • Send a whole deck to a classmate as a shareable file • Siri: "Study my Recall cards" • Optional private sync across your devices through your own iCloud — Recall's servers never see your data • Encrypted local backup Recall is built for students, language learners, and anyone who wants to remember what they read — privately, and for good.
