About

Recall

Features
Read full description

Finish books but forget them a month later? Recall is an AI tutor that tests whether you actually understood what you read, then helps you remember it. Most reading apps just show you your highlights again. Recall reads the passages you saved, pulls out the core ideas, and runs a short conversation that asks you to explain them in your own words. The AI reads your answer, tells you what you got and what you missed, and asks a follow-up to push a little deeper. No cards to write. No multiple choice. NOT ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT APP Readwise shows you what you read. Anki makes you write what you remember. Recall does the writing for you, then listens to your answer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import. Bring in highlights from Kindle, PDFs, Readwise or Kobo, add them as you read with the Chrome extension, or paste them in. 2. Understand. Recall extracts the key concepts and builds a six-minute conversation around three of them, timed for right before you would forget. 3. Remember. Spaced repetition (SM-2) schedules the next review by how well you actually answered, not by a button you tap on yourself. The gaps widen as the idea holds. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Open-ended answers. Explain the idea yourself, instead of picking from a list. - A tutor, not a quiz. Up to five follow-up turns per concept to test real understanding. - Ask your library. Get answers drawn from every book you have read, each one quoting the exact passage from your own highlights. - A garden, not a streak. Watch concepts grow from seeds to saplings to a forest as your memory holds. FREE TO START Use Recall free, forever: build a library, daily sessions, AI-graded answers, no card required. Premium unlocks an unlimited library, Ask your library, and the file import tools, with a 14-day free trial. The current limits for each plan are shown in the app. YOUR READING IS YOURS On any plan, export everything as Markdown, CSV and JSON, or delete your account from Settings. No lock-in. Built on the science of retrieval practice, the testing effect described in Make It Stick (Brown, Roediger and McDaniel). Made in the open by a solo developer at Bumpkin Labs. SUBSCRIPTION Recall offers a free tier and an optional Premium subscription with a 14-day free trial. Pricing is shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your subscription settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Recall at every 6 days against Quotes's every 3 weeks. Quotes's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
