Recall is a personal memory app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac. Speak, type, or snap a moment โ Recall files it away with the place and time it happened. CAPTURE HOWEVER YOU WANT โข Voice โ tap to record, see your words transcribed live on screen โข Text โ type a quick note when you can't talk โข Photo โ snap with the camera or pick from your library TAGGED WITH PLACE AND TIME Every memory carries the location, address, and the moment it happened. Browse a Map view to see where you've been thinking. When you add an old photo, Recall offers to use the photo's date and original GPS instead of your current spot โ so memories from the past land in the right place on the map. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI AND APPLE WATCH Say "Hey Siri, save to Recall" from iPhone, Apple Watch, or HomePod โ your iPhone files the memory away even while the app is asleep. Override the vault inline: "Hey Siri, save to Recall in TravelLog." Capture from your Watch by voice or tap, and it syncs back to iPhone the moment it reconnects. MULTIPLE VAULTS, YOUR FOLDERS Keep work, travel, and ideas in separate vaults. Vaults are just folders โ yours to organize. Link any folder from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or your Mac's iCloud Drive, and your memories land where you want them. YOUR FILES, NOT OURS Every memory is a plain Markdown file with YAML frontmatter โ open it in Obsidian, Apple Notes, any text editor, or just Finder. There's no proprietary database, no lock-in, and your vault folder IS the export. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY Recall has no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no accounts, and no servers we operate. Voice transcription uses Apple's on-device speech engine. Location tags only your own memories. Files live in iCloud or any folder you choose โ nothing is sent to us. Available on iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac. Free, no in-app purchases.
