Hey everyone - Thanks for checking out Atlas Recall! We’re excited to give you early access to this truly revolutionary product from Atlas Informatics. Recall is a searchable photographic memory for our digital lives.
We built Recall to help people be more productive and work smarter. On average we waste 20% of our time sifting through emails, calendar invites, text messages and Slack chains to find the information we need to get things done. We wanted to build a technology that works like a searchable memory for our digital lives. Once Recall is installed, it remembers everything you see on your screen, running in the background as you use your computer and smartphone. You can then search all of your applications, cloud services, devices and programs using keywords to find anything you’re looking for. Recall is built from the ground up to be secure and will work with any app — without needing individual credentials, or access to specific app or service APIs.
Looking forward to hearing what you think!

@jpr6 -- looks like a great product. The windows signup button is broken, so kindly check the link. I'm eagerly waiting to test the Windows Beta app..:) good luck...
@jpr5 Hey, so this is pretty incredible. The layout, the *everything* that it captures. I love it. However. Every time I spend a few seconds in it, my Macbook Pro's fans fire up and it sounds like my laptop is ready for takeoff. Any other reports of this and/or ideas of what related to Atlas may be causing it? Thanks!
@andym_dc@jpr5 Hi Andrew - thanks for the info. Any chance you could get the diagnostics to us at support@atlas.co ? Atlas Recall definitely isn't supposed to cause that to happen, so if you can follow the steps here: https://support.atlas.co/hc/en-u... that would help us figure out what's going on!
This looks like a great product.
My main concern is security. You guys are saving *everything* I do! How do you guys ensure that my data is not compromised in case hackers decide to toy with your systems?
@mrdhat That is in our Privacy Promise to you. With Atlas Recall you retain ownership and control of your data at all times. Also, all your digital items remain encrypted at rest and at motion so they are safe no matter what. Here is the link to that promise. https://www.atlas.co/privacy-pro...
@travis_murdock Great! But let's talk in specific security terms. Do you guys have end-to-end encryption? Can you decrypt my documents on your servers if need be? Or are all the keys etc saved on my computer?
My main concern would be how secure my data is in case everything you have - your source code, your servers, databases etc are compromised.
@tommyent@mrdhat Hey guys! Sorry about the delay in answering this - it's been a busy and exciting day at Atlas HQ! With that said, these are great questions, and ones that I think a lot of our community will want answers to. We have a more detailed extension of our privacy promise here that hopefully answers your questions: https://support.atlas.co/hc/en-u... - Alternatively, you can always email us at security@atlas.co. We are a team that welcomes feedback, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think we can improve upon or what you think we're doing well. Thanks for checking Atlas Recall out!
Congrats on the launch! I prolifically research pretty much everything I do and also have a terrible memory. Currently I copy-paste and tag links and ideas into a single Workflowy list (of epic length). I just put the next thing on the top and rely on searching to find things. So I'm excited to try out atlas recall! I actually had a similar idea of recording my screen continuously and searching it earlier this year so it's great to see this come out.
Security question (I'm sure you'll millions of these!) - can I easily turn the recording on/off? For example to enter bank details it'd be great to be able to click the icon or use a hotkey and toggle the recording on/off. However amazing your encryption and security are this would make me feel more comfortable.
Reply to my own question... yes you can turn the recording on/off. Feature request for you... I'd love a hotkey to do this (one where I get a small non-obtrusive visual clue as to whether the recording is on or off). There's a hotkey to open the app and then I can click pause - but a single pause/continue hotkey would be great!
@mleonard Yes, you can Pause the system for a few minutes if you are looking at something sensitive or Block by URL, application or file. When you do either of these actions, the system never sees what you are viewing and that data never leaves your computer. This short, silent video shows you how to use these features. . Also, please check out our Privacy Promise that outlines how you retain ownership and control of your data. https://www.atlas.co/privacy-pro...
@travis_murdock@mleonard I am a beta tester as well. This is probably the main issue why I didn't use Atlas Recall that much - I don't trust myself to remember pausing the tracking. Would you consider disabling the tracking of sensitive content by default? E.g. I allow ManicTime to track everything I do (time, as well as screenshots of what I am doing), and by default, it disables tracking of private browsing.
Also, in relation to "Someone from the Atlas team may analyze how you are using the product in order to improve its design and new features, however, we do not have access to the contents of the items (documents or files) remembered through Recall beyond the minimum required to operate Recall and its associated services." - what is the "minimum required"? Can you be more specific?
@leejien@mleonard JIEn Thanks for your questions! Atlas Recall allows you to proactively Block any website, application or file that you don’t want the system to remember. Once Blocked, those items are never seen by the system and never leave your computer. Also, Recall respects Incognito and Private browsing in Chrome and Safari. Nothing you view while in these modes is indexed. The Using Atlas section of the website has more detail and a video. https://www.atlas.co/using-atlas/
Atlas has strong operational procedures to ensure that digital items are never accessed unless it is required to operate the system. Like other cloud services, all security operations team members have been thoroughly vetted with background checks and signed non-disclosure agreements. “Minimum required” means that only when absolutely necessary to run the system.
