About

Recall Events

Features
Read full description

Memory rebuilds itself and lies with confidence. Recall feeds it the real fragments — your photos — and rebuilds the day truthfully. Point Recall at the photos from any event and it reconstructs a chronological story of what happened, anchored to the real time and place data hidden inside each photo. No vague guesswork — a timeline built on evidence. WHAT RECALL DOES • Reads the hidden timestamp and GPS location in every photo to place events in true order • Reconstructs your event as a clear, readable timeline of moments • Marks anything it inferred, so you always know what's evidence and what's a best guess • Catches promises and commitments captured in the moment, before memory reshapes them • Turns raw place coordinates into real location names • Exports a beautiful PDF report with your photos embedded — open it on any phone or computer • Shares a link so others can see the day and confirm how they remember it • Keeps every reconstruction in a private, saved library on your device PERFECT FOR • Weddings, parties, and family gatherings • Conferences, launches, and business events • Trips, field days, and once-in-a-lifetime moments • Anyone who wants an honest record instead of a fading memory Choose how deep to go — from a quick gist to a vivid, minute-by-minute reconstruction. Recall is a memory aid, not a perfect record. Inferred moments are always marked as such. Free to use for up to 3 reconstructions per month. Recall Pro unlocks unlimited reconstructions, up to 20 photos per event, vivid detail mode, and PDF reports for $3.99/month with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.
