You forget most of an audiobook by the next week. Recall fixes that. It's a focused player for the audiobooks you already own — built so the ideas don't slip away the moment the chapter ends. While you listen, tap once to HIGHLIGHT the moment that matters. Add a note in your own words. Later, open Highlights and every passage you marked is waiting in one place — the book distilled to the parts you actually wanted to keep. WHY RECALL • Tap-to-highlight, right from the player — capture an idea without breaking your stride. • Notes on any highlight — your thoughts, attached to the exact moment. • All your highlights in one screen — review a whole book in minutes. • Real chapter navigation — jump to any chapter in an M4B, see where you are. • Built to be reliable — long audiobooks and big libraries that don't crash, and your place is never lost. YOUR FILES, YOUR PRIVACY • Recall plays the DRM-free audiobooks YOU already own (M4B). Import from iCloud Drive or Files. • No accounts. No servers. No tracking. No analytics. • Your audiobooks, highlights, and notes stay on your device — nothing is ever uploaded. • Recall is a player. It does not host, sell, or stream any audiobook content. FREE, NO CATCH • Every feature is free — unlimited audiobooks, unlimited highlights, unlimited notes. • No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no accounts. • Nothing is paywalled — not playback, not highlights, not a single feature. Bring the audiobook you're listening to right now. Start keeping what matters.
