Recall: Your Second Brain for Everything Important Stop cluttering your mind with details you might forget. Recall is the personal intelligence app that tracks the Who, Where, When, What, and Which of your daily life — from borrowed items to gate codes, parking spots to subscription renewals — all in a secure, beautiful, local-first vault. Location-based Return Reminders are free for everyone. No subscription, no trial — your parking spot, hotel room number, locker combo, and gate code all buzz you the moment you walk back. NEW IN THIS RELEASE CAPTURE A MEMORY IN ONE TAP Recall is built for the moment you're trying to remember something. Capture from anywhere: • Quick Action chips on the home screen — Park (one-tap "save this spot"), Voice (record a note), Clipboard (paste what you copied), Photo (snap a picture) • "Save to Recall" Share Extension — share a link, photo, or text from Safari, Mail, Photos, or any app • "Hey Siri, Add to Recall [your text]" — full Siri Shortcut support, no keyboard required • Natural-language reminders — type "remind me tomorrow at 3pm" and Recall auto-fills the date and time • Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets — see today's reminders at a glance NEARBY DISCOVERY Tap the map pin and Recall finds everything around you in seconds, powered entirely by Apple Maps: • Filter chips for what you want — coffee, food, gas, grocery, pharmacy, parking — plus an "Other" sheet with 15 more categories from ATMs to hospitals • Radius picker (1 / 3 / 5 miles) tuned for walking, driving, or road-trip stops • "+ Save place" turns any nearby spot into a memory with a return-reminder geofence already armed • Privacy by design — no third-party POI SDK, no analytics, only Apple's anonymized MapKit THE 5-CATEGORY SYSTEM WHO — Things you've lent or borrowed. Never lose a book or a tool again. WHERE — Where you stored your passport, spare keys, or winter clothes. WHEN — Subscription renewals, warranty expiries, periodic maintenance. WHAT — Verbal agreements, promises, random brilliant ideas. WHICH — The encrypted Vault for codes, combinations, gift ideas, and other sensitive info. SMART ALERTS — NOW WITH A VOICE Four kinds of alerts work side-by-side — all free, no Pro required: • Time-based reminders — fire at the exact moment you asked • Return reminders — Recall registers a 100m geofence around saved places, so when you walk back to your parked car, storage unit, or that coffee shop, your note pops up automatically • Spoken alerts (new) — instead of a generic chime, hear "You reached your parked spot" • Mute-this-place — silence any geofence that gets too noisy with one tap, without losing the memory FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY • Global search — type a word, find any memory in milliseconds • Near Me filter (new) — show only Where memories within 1, 3, or 5 miles of where you're standing • Smart "On this day" flashbacks bring back what mattered a year ago • Home tiles show a live preview of your most-recent memory in each category BEAUTIFUL, FAST, PRIVATE • Glassmorphism interface with full Dark Mode and Light Mode • Plain-text CSV export (new, free) — pull every memory into a spreadsheet • Local-first — your memories live on your device, not on our servers. We don't track you, we don't have an account system, we don't see your data. RECALL PRO (one-time purchase, lifetime access — no subscriptions) Unlock the full Recall experience forever: • Unlimited memories (free tier capped at 15) • Voice-to-Recall — attach audio notes to any memory • Visual Recall — attach high-resolution photos • Biometric Vault — Face ID / Touch ID lock on the "Which" category • Encrypted Backup & Restore — export your library as a password-protected file, restore on any device (the only format that round-trips media) Personal intelligence, reimagined.

Every week, conversations fall through the cracks. The thing your cofounder said over coffee. The decision you made in a 1:1 but never wrote down. The action item someone definitely agreed to — but no one remembers who. Hyper fixes that. MONDAY MORNING. ONE TAP. Walk into any conversation — coffee chat, sync, standup — and tap once. That's it. No setup, no workspaces, no folders. Just talk. MID-CONVERSATION. "HEY HYPER." "What did we say about the deadline last sync?" Ask anything, hands-free, without breaking flow. Hyper answers from everything it's heard. MEETING'S OVER. YOU DIDN'T TAKE A SINGLE NOTE. Doesn't matter. You've got a gorgeous summary, a full transcript, and to-do's that wrote themselves. SOMETHING OFF? REWRITE WITH A WHISPER. Just tell hyper what to change. Your notes, your way. FRIDAY. NOTHING GOT DROPPED. Every conversation, searchable. Every action item, tracked. Every "wait, what did we decide?" — answered. END OF WEEK. Hyper sends you the highlight reel. How many conversations. How many minutes. The word you couldn't stop saying. You cooked this week! --- - Sign up with your phone number. That's it. - Works for 1:1s, coffee chats, standups, study sessions — any conversation worth remembering - Free to get started Subscribe to Hyper Believer for unlimited recording.
