Recall release notes, 12 Nov 2026: Claude connector, cleaner Chat, PDF search and mobile beta

Hello everyone! A few big updates this week.

Recall is now officially listed in Claude, so you can find us by searching for Recall in Claude’s connectors. Beta testing for our new mobile app is now live, and a huge thank you to everyone taking part. Your feedback is already shaping it.

This release also makes it easier to find your way around what you’ve saved. Searching inside a PDF now takes you straight to the right page, and connections without a Wikipedia page now open with an overview written from your own cards. Chat also has a cleaner look, you can keep typing while an answer is being written, and citations now show you the exact passage they come from.

Recall is now officially in Claude

Many of you already use Recall in Claude through our MCP server. Recall is now officially listed as a connector in Claude, so connecting it is as simple as searching for Recall in Claude’s connectors. Once it’s connected, Claude can search and read your cards, so its answers draw on what you’ve saved. ChatGPT is coming soon.

We’re also working on a write MCP, so Claude can save and update things in your Recall too. If you’d like it, upvote it on Canny so we know how much you want it.

Watch: the PARA method in Recall

Michael, one of our power users, walked us through how he runs Tiago Forte’s PARA method in Recall, from setting up Projects, Areas, Resources and Archives as tags to how auto-tagging files things for him. Watch the video

Chat Improvements

Chat has a cleaner look, and you no longer have to wait for an answer to finish. Press Enter while Chat is answering and your message is sent as soon as the answer finishes, or choose Send now to add it to the answer straight away.

Hover over or tap a citation to preview the passage it comes from, and use the arrows to page through every source in the answer.

When Chat answers from a whole card, its citations now point to the exact passages it used, instead of to the card in general.

Older chats are grouped by date, and you can mark a chat as unread to come back to it later.

PDF search

When you search inside a PDF card, choosing a result now scrolls the PDF to that page.

Smarter Connections

Connections without a Wikipedia page now open with a short overview written from your own cards, instead of an empty note.

Bug fixes

• Chat: A chat you delete no longer reappears in your history.

• Saving: When you import a CSV of links, tags written as Parent/Child now become nested tags, as they already do in Markdown imports.

• Saving: Substack notes now save as the note itself, instead of a page Recall couldn’t read.

• Saving: Saving a YouTube video again from a share link, such as one copied with the Share button in the YouTube app, now opens the card you already have instead of creating a duplicate.

• Saving: If a PDF upload is interrupted, for example when you switch to another app on your phone, Recall now tries once more when you come back instead of failing.

• Reader: Saved pages with nothing in their Notebook yet now open on the Reader tab, instead of an empty Notebook.

• Summaries, quizzes and tags: With AI language in Settings set to Don’t Translate (the default), summaries, quizzes and tags are now written in the language of the content you saved. Before, Recall sometimes guessed the language wrong and wrote them in another one.

• Apps connected through MCP and the Recall API: Searches from some AI apps failed with an error because they were sent in a format Recall didn’t expect. They now work.

Coming Next

• Our new mobile app: Thank you to everyone taking part in beta testing for our new mobile app. We’ll share more as it gets closer to launch.

• Recall in ChatGPT: We’re working on bringing Recall to ChatGPT, so you can use your saved knowledge there too.

• A write MCP: We’re working on a write MCP, so the AI apps you connect can save and update things in your Recall, not only read from it. Upvote it on Canny if it’s something you’d use.

• A subscription feed to discover new content: We’re continuing work on a subscription feed to help you keep up with the sources you follow and bring fresh content into Recall, alongside the knowledge you’ve already saved.

• More capable AI chat: We’re working toward AI chat that can edit the Notebooks in your cards and create or update connections between cards, so you can organise and develop your saved knowledge through conversation.
