You know the frustration of giving your AI the same instructions over and over. No em dashes, no unnecessary colons, more professional please. Well, those days are over! A persona is simply a set of instructions you give Recall once that tells it how to respond. Think of it as a consistent role, a consistent tone, and a consistent set of rules it follows before it generates anything. You set it once, and it just works from then on. Open the Recall Global Chat and click on the icon in the top left-hand corner to create your first persona.

It's been a month since the launch of Recall 2.0. We've taken some time to rest and recover, while bashing bugs, smoothing out the experience, and figuring out what's next. Help shape what's next for Recall - check out our "What's Coming" feature to share your input.

New features

• Bulk PDF uploads (Plus and Max). Upload multiple PDFs at once. On Max, AI actions run automatically. On Plus, bulk tag manually and start chatting.

• Share PDFs from your phone. Use the share sheet to send PDFs directly to Recall.

• iOS swipe-back gesture and general card navigation polish.

• Right-click to open cards in the tag tree, chats, and citations.

• Updated MCP and API docs. See docs.

Hello everyone, a few simple yet impactful updates to Recall, with more to come soon.

New

• Group your home page by time:

  Organize your cards by when you added or updated them, so it's easier to pick up where you left off.

• Save from Apple News:

  You can now save and read Apple News articles in Recall.

• Passwordless sign-in with a verification code:

  You can now log in using a one-time code sent to you, instead of relying only on a password. This makes signing in faster and means you don't have to remember or reset a password to get back into your account.

Hello @everyone!This week we focused on making it easier to get help and find answers. Feeling stuck? Ask chat for help and you'll get answers directly from Recall's help docs. We also brought Claude Opus 4.8 to Max, launched a comparison hub, and started a Reddit community. Thank you to everyone who joined the AMA. It was a very warm welcome to kick us off. We're also digesting all of our feedback from the Recall 2.0 form. If you haven't already shared your comments, please do, as we'll be using this to help improve and decide what's next.

Claude Opus 4.8 is now live for Recall Max users.

Max subscribers now have access to Anthropic's latest and most capable model. You'll get sharper, more thoughtful responses when you chat with your knowledge base. We're still busy working on head-to-head comparison content on which model to use when. More to come here.

We've just shipped one of our most requested features. With Listen Mode, any content you save to Recall (articles, podcasts, YouTube videos, PDFs, web pages) can now be summarized and read back to you as audio. Pick from our library of built-in voices, or clone a voice of your own.

I cloned my dad's voice so he can read me my morning podcast summary. Check us out in action below!

We ve just released an update to the browser extension.

The extension now opens in the browsers side panel, which means it will no longer cover part of your search. The extension also remains open as you search, so feel free to switch between tabs and pages as you re doing your deep dives. Plus, we ve integrated Listen Mode into the extension. So now, you can listen to your content in that familiar voice you ve grown accustomed to over the past week!

A few small yet critical updates as we are heads down behinds the scene preparing for something bigger!

Revamped Referrals: Share Recall, get up to 50% off.

We've completely revamped the Recall Referral Program. Here's how it works:

Get ready for a big update and a sneak peek of what's to come! We packed a lot into this release, all focused on making your Recall experience smoother and more intuitive.

Improved Organization with tag tree improvements:

If you've been frustrated with the lack of flexibility and customization of your tag tree (the left panel that shows all of the tags), then you are in for a treat!
