About

Recall

Read full description

You take notes all the time. Then they sit there. You forget what you wrote, miss the tasks buried inside, and never look at half of them again. Recall makes sure that doesn't happen. WRITE NATURALLY; RECALL DOES THE REST. Just capture your thoughts. Recall reads what you wrote, pulls out tasks, detects deadlines, and connects related notes together. No tags, no folders, no formatting required. TASKS GET EXTRACTED AUTOMATICALLY. "Review the Q3 budget before Friday" becomes a task with a deadline. Recall finds action items in your notes and lets you set reminders so nothing falls through. DAILY NUDGES Every day, Recall surfaces what needs your attention: - Tasks due soon or overdue - Notes going stale that deserve a second look - Groups of related notes ready to become a project You don't have to go looking. It comes to you. PROJECTS FORM ON THEIR OWN. Write about the same topic across different days and recall notices. It suggests grouping them into a project with a single view of all related tasks and notes. SEARCH BY MEANING Type "that thing about the budget" and find the right note even if you never used those exact words. Semantic search understands what you meant, not just what you typed. WEEKLY REVIEW Once a week, see the full picture: what you captured, what you finished, where your focus went, and which projects went quiet. SYNCS ACROSS IPHONE AND MAC iCloud sync. No account required. Write on your Mac; get nudged on your phone. One purchase covers both. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Notes stay on your device. Core intelligence runs locally using on-device AI. No ads, no tracking, no account required. Premium AI features are opt-in.
