Hello everyone. This update covers our last two releases. Chat and the AI apps you connect through the Recall MCP server are now smarter at finding and reading your content.
Chat has always searched your cards by meaning to find the passages that best match your question. Now it has new tools too. It can find exact words and phrases, and read whole cards from start to finish. Apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor get the same tools through MCP, and you can now see and manage which apps are connected. Saving from Gmail works better too, and we fixed age-restricted YouTube videos, which some of you have been asking about for a while. Plus, we've smashed lots of bugs, from syncing and exports to better support for larger knowledge bases, and more.
You'll likely forget 90% of the content you consume within a week. Recall summarizes online content, connects it in a knowledge graph and resurfaces it on a schedule tailored to your learning curve, helping you remember the information you care about.
Go beyond your brain’s limits. Chat with all the content you read, watch, listen to, or take notes on. Add content on the go or import thousands of videos, podcasts, and more—all saved to your self-organizing knowledge base. Your memory, searchable forever.
This week we opened up new kinds of content for your second brain. You can now save EPUB books, photo sets, and social posts with text-in-image into Recall, then search and chat with all of it in one place.
EPUB books in your second brain
Upload an .epub and it becomes a card you can read, search, and chat with, next to your articles, videos, and notes. One file at a time, or up to 10 together on Plus and Max (20 MB each).
Ever read something and think, 'I’ve seen this before'—but can’t remember where? Augmented Browsing resurfaces related content from your Recall knowledgebase, turning passive browsing into active discovery. Join 200K+ nerds and elevate how you consume content.
This release is all about bringing your read-it-later URLs to life by getting your content into Recall. You can now import reading lists straight from a CSV, watch exactly what succeeds or needs attention, and jump right to your new cards. We have also released a new flow so you can save your chat outputs to either one new card or any existing card, improved the images for EPUB and social saves, and squashed a wide range of bugs across saving, sync, and mobile.
Excited to share that we have improved our Search flow in Recall! Search has moved out of the small popup and into your library, so results now fill the full page. That means a lot more room to see what you've found, and everything you'd normally do with your cards still works on the results. FYI: The improvement lands on desktop first, with a mobile overhaul to follow shortly.

Safari users, your wait is over. The Recall extension is now live on Safari and Edge, with a smoother experience for everyone, including adding connections right from the browser. If you have not tried it yet, install it on your browser of choice today: https://www.recall.it/download
This update is packed with improvements across Recall, the big one being multi-select, so you can now export and chat with several cards at once. Worth reading the notes in full. There are a good number of fixes in here that should make everything run smoother.
Enablement
We've been putting Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 through their paces for research and writing inside Recall. All the details of the three-prompt test for research writing and recommendations are in our blog or watch our co-founder Sanks put them both to the test in our video walkthrough.
AI leveled the playing field. Intelligence has been commoditized. We believe the edge is your knowledge. Recall 1.0 was a place to store that knowledge. Summarized, organized and connected. Recall 2.0 turns that knowledge into your edge. AI grounded in everything you've saved and written. "Condense my research, compare new studies, find the exact clip in my podcast." to “Pick a movie based on what I love” Talk to your knowledge, the internet, or both. You pick the model. API & MCP included.
