Recall release notes: 4 June 2026: Opus 4.8 vs GPT 5.5, multi select and an overall smoother flow

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.

New

  • Multi Select and Export to Markdown.

    Select multiple cards in your knowledge base and download them all as Markdown files in a single ZIP, so you can back up your notes or move them into another app.

  • Multi Select and Chat with multiple cards.

    Select several cards at once and start a chat that uses all of them as context, making it easier to ask questions across related notes.

Tip: hold Shift, click your first card, then click the last card in the range to select everything in between.

Improved

  • Combined display menu.

    Sorting and view options now live in one place, so you can switch between grid and list, change the sort field, and flip the order without hunting through separate controls.

  • Better Substack & Wordpress saving.

    Articles from Substack and Wordpress now save with more complete content and headings, so less of the original page is lost.

  • More reliable Arc imports.

    Saving and importing content in the Arc browser now uses a more dependable method for fetching page content.

  • Smarter duplicate detection.

    The extension and app now recognize when two URLs point to the same page, so you're less likely to end up with duplicate saves of the same content.

  • Easier mobile editing.

    On phones, it's now easier to add a new line when your cursor sits just above the floating formatting toolbar.

Fixed

  • Search now closes correctly.

    Pressing Escape and clicking the close button now reliably dismiss the search window, which previously could stay open.

  • Tag actions on mobile.

    The tag actions menu no longer gets stuck after navigating back on mobile.

  • Editor crash on broken tables.

    Notes containing malformed tables no longer crash the editor when you open them.

  • Math and LaTeX display.

    Mathematical formulas now render correctly in chat and in your notes.

  • List formatting in notes.

    Numbered and bulleted lists no longer get cut off or misaligned when you increase the reader text size.

  • Regenerating toggle sections.

    Regenerating content inside a toggle block now shows a loading indicator and keeps your existing content if something goes wrong.

  • Connections in toggle headings.

    You can now add connections to other cards from within toggle headings.

We are starting to scope what's next. Stay tuned, and thank you for all the input in helping us shape the upcoming roadmap.

Thanks for the Substack improvements. I have an archive of 120 essays I’m keen to add to Recall. Tried a few today and they imported well.

@rosevines Thats great to hear Rose! Please keep up posted how the rest of the essays go.

I like the fact that you can select multiple cards and chat with them, that is awesome! And now that you can export cards and markdown language, that’s a huge win to be able to import that into another AI program.

@jeffery_newton Thank you Jeff! Just small quick wins - for export to anoher program just want to ensure you are aware of our API & MCP as well: https://docs.recall.it/developer/mcp
