Yantra vs Recall

Yantra is your second brain — a private place to capture what matters, find it again later, and act on it. Now on iPhone and Apple Watch. Everything you save lives on your device. Capture, transcription, search, tasks and your calendar run on-device for free — no account, no subscription, no server in the middle. AI works with no key at all using on-device Apple Intelligence, or bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Gemini key for larger models. Then requests go straight from your device to the provider you chose.

Recall is a personal relationship manager built around the people you already know. Save contacts with notes, categories, locations, companies, links, and context so you can quickly remember who someone is and why they matter. Add connections between people and companies, mark favorites, organize custom categories, and search across your whole network when you need the right person for a question, project, opportunity, or introduction. Recall can also use iCloud to keep your data available across your devices. With the optional Recall AI feature, you can ask questions about your own contacts, plan outreach, or create and update people using your saved network as context. Recall AI is optional and requires your own Google API key. Whether you are networking, job hunting, organizing professional contacts, keeping track of friends, or simply trying to remember “who was that person again?”, Recall helps you know who you know.
