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).
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.
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.
Check out our quick video walkthrough of how it works.
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
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 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.
This is an exciting, utility-focused release. We completely rebuilt social saves, added a new table view for your library, expanded AI language support to 62 languages, and improved the AI behind tags, connections, summaries, and quizzes. Don't miss the release notes, which have more detail and information on what's coming next. There is also an incredible customer story and an open AMA with a Recall power user on building a second brain, running through the end of the week.
Recall started as a simple place to save the things you cared about. It has grown into something much bigger! This release marks that shift with the launch of our Use Case Hub, alongside the groundwork for a more integrated search experience.
Recall Use Case Hub
We get asked all the time "what should I actually use Recall for?" and now there is a proper home for the answer. What started as a great place to save your interests from health research and recipes has now evolved into a powerful research, writing, AI, and knowledge engine. The use case hub (site for a high-level view & docs for step by step guides) is a growing library of guides showing how real people put Recall to work, from grounding deep research and writing in your own sources to building a movie recommendation tracker. This is a resource we will continue to invest in, so please let us know which guides are genuinely useful, which are missing, and where a deeper dive would help.
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.
