As AI levels the playing field, the advantage shifts from model access to what those models are grounded in: your knowledge. Recall brings your knowledge and AI together. Save what matters, capture your thoughts, and build an AI that knows what you know. From condensing research and enriching it with new studies to finding mentions across your content or picking a movie based on your tastes. Connect your knowledge, the internet, or both in the model you choose. API and MCP.
This is the 8th launch from Recall. View more
Recall 2.0
Launching today
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.

Recall
What started as a simple Hacker News post from Paul in November 2022, "A tool to help you remember shit you are interested in," has, three years later, transformed from a summarizing tool into a platform that brings your knowledge to the forefront.
Recall 2.0 isn't just a feature launch. There has been a series of updates building to this point. What we've envisioned is a place where people intentionally engage with their saved content, learn from it, and bring that knowledge to the center.
Everyone is looking to AI for answers. But with Recall, you can prioritize your own knowledge first and foremost. Choose to chat with your saved insights and invite the internet in as a supplement. That's the priority order we believe it should follow.
This update lets you get answers that no other AI can provide, as it is grounded in the sources you intentionally chose to save and the notes you specifically took. Ask questions, and Recall pulls from your curated knowledge base.
"What did that sleep podcast say about melatonin timing? Find me the clip." [It pulls the exact moment where something was mentioned, and you can even play the clip inside Recall without breaking your flow.]
"Condense my last six months of research and notes into references with timestamps, page numbers, and quotes. Also see if any new studies are out." [Combine your personal knowledge and invite the internet in to see what is new and what you might be missing.]
"Pick a movie for tonight based on everything I've loved this year." [Just a fun one. Save all the movies you love to Recall, write your reviews, and then let Recall make a recommendation based on your own notes.]
You get to choose the frontier AI model you prefer, including GPT 5.4, Claude, Gemini, and more. Switch mid-conversation to compare outputs. You are not locked in. You get the best of all the AI models in one place.
Several other highly requested features are launching:
API and MCP access: The community was clear about their needs here. Your knowledge can now be accessed from anywhere, whether you're building custom workflows or feeding it into your chatbot.
Bulk actions for power users: With high content volume, you can now manage it all with just a few clicks. Generate summaries, tags, and connections for 100 pieces of content at a time.
A UI overhaul: Everything you've seen in Recall from launch until now was homemade by our founders. We are finally getting closer to the intuitive, polished experience our users deserve. More to come.
Since December, we have shipped a series of major upgrades:
Our rich text block editor lets you capture your notes and ideas with all the bells and whistles you need, including tables, to-do lists, and more.
Graph View 2.0 lets you interact with your knowledge visually, discover patterns, and find new connections.
Quiz 2.0 reinforces learning and retention. It is not just about saving and interacting It references the exact point where something was mentioned and links to that video inside Recall, which you can play inside Recall. It doesn't break your flow.with content. It is about learning from it. This is about intentional knowledge building replacing mindless doomscrolling, with a personalized spaced repetition schedule. One of the best parts is that you can challenge friends publicly. Call out the folks dropping hot takes without receipts.
We want to say a massive thank you to our Discord community. Your feedback, bug reports, and feature requests have shaped Recall 2.0. This is only the beginning, a step toward the vision we are relentlessly iterating on and delivering.

@curiouskitty These are great questions and we get them a lot. Here's how we like to think about them:
Recall vs. Google NotebookLM
I like to say NotebookLM is for research, but Recall is for lifelong learning.
Unlimited scope: NotebookLM limits you to 50 sources per folder. Recall allows you to upload and ground your Q&A in unlimited YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, books, and articles across all topics
Integrated personal thinking: NotebookLM is "source-only." In Recall, your own thoughts and notes live alongside saved content and are treated as primary grounding data for the AI
Cross-context connections: NotebookLM only connects sources within a specific folder. Recall’s automatic knowledge graph connects related content across everything you’ve ever saved, allowing for Q&A that spans your entire history
Model freedom: You are not locked into a single provider. You can choose to ground your queries using GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or DeepSeek, and even switch models mid-conversation to compare outputs.
Here's a blog we wrote that speaks to this in more detail.
Recall vs. Obsidian
Recall aims to provide the "peace of mind" of a permanent library while removing the manual friction of tools like Obsidian. Here's an `XDA blog on Recall vs Obsidian.
Unlike Obsidian, which requires manual linking and folder management, Recall uses automatic categorization and graph-building to ensure your data remains organized and retrievable as it grows, without requiring "structure-first" setup.
If you haven't tried our graph view before? Do check out our tutorial. I think you will find it a slightly different angle on the way to explore a graph that's automatically generated for you but still has manual control
Data Encryption and Exports
When saving data into Recall, it is stored in a secure cloud that is protected under GDPR. You can learn more here: https://www.recall.it/legal/privacy-policy
That said, data is not encrypted on the server since we have a RAG system that does vector searches on your knowledge base to retrieve the correct context when asking questions in the chat. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this if your data is encrypted on the server.
But as mentioned, your data is stored securely on a database hosted in the EU on Google Cloud servers, we have strict access controls which ensure only you have access to your data.
It is important to note that all data is encrypted in transit and that when using Augmented Browsing, it is local first - nothing leaves your device.
Your data is always yours. You can export it at any time, regardless of whether you have a subscription or not, and now, with our API and MCP you can pull your data into other tools
I've subscribed and paid the annual plan, but since couple of days application was logging me out, right now I am unable to login via Apple SSO

@karol_szczesny So sorry about this, the issue should be resolved now! Please let us know if not at support@getrecall.ai
I have been a user from the very start of Recall, and it has consistently improved over time. Lately, it seems the development team has gone into acceleration mode, and I consider it now the standard for doing research on the web. The ability to chat with my whole knowledge base and to be able to create flashcard reviews is awesome. And today it also got the academic stamp of approval from the infamous Andy Stapleton: https://youtu.be/wkwYcNu8yNY?si=FYQ5RCO89u1IFYnj They have a very active discord community and developers respond quickly when there is an issue.
The latest improvement, which lets me choose whether to chat only with my KB or include the web, is fabulous. If you are not into Recall yet, you owe it to yourself to explore it!

@haberjr Hello there, this post means so much to us. We really appreciate the time you took to share your feedback and that you have noticed the consistent iterations and improvements we've been making. This really is only the start for Recall, with so much more to come. We are super excited to get the stamp of approval from Andy.

Wow, this is such a huge milestone for Recall. I can't believe how far we've come. The last few weeks have been a real grind getting this release out, and I'm so grateful for the team. We're usually fully remote, but for this launch we all flew out to Cape Town and rented a hacker house. It's been amazing spending time in person, getting to know everyone beyond the screen. Really excited for this new chapter; this feels like just the beginning as we have so much to more still to come.
Recall
Congratulations to our incredibly talented and passionate team. It's been a crazy few months working on this new launch, and I'm so proud to see how it's turned out. My personal favourite feature of this is the Agentic Chat. It makes it a lot easier for me rather than going back and tagging my content. I can just ask in the chat, which makes it a lot simpler.

@nicole_howitt What would I do without you??? I'm so glad to have you on the Recall team, and thank you for putting up with me.
This is a very handy extension. I tested it with a video in Portuguese, and I was really curious to see how it would perform.
The results were fast and quite good, in just a few seconds, I had a clear summarized version of the content, which made it much easier to understand the video.
I did notice a few minor typos (for example, with words like “Claude”), but nothing that takes away from the overall experience.
Overall, it’s a solid tool with a lot of potential, especially for anyone looking to turn content into something more actionable and easy to revisit.
