Your Personal AI Encyclopedia. Traditional knowledge management is passive—information is stored but rarely revisited. Recall shifts this paradigm by transforming saved knowledge into active insights. Summarize content, chat with it, store it in a self-organizing knowledge base, and reinforce learning with spaced repetition. The foundation of Recall is its knowledge graph, which automatically links related concepts—uncovering hidden connections you might have otherwise missed.

While we re heads down on bigger updates like improving search and enabling chat with your entire knowledge base, we re excited to share a few new improvements in the meantime:
This week, we focused primarily on our larger initiatives improving search and enabling chat with your knowledge base. However, we still managed to ship the following updates:
Improvements:
Support for YouTube Videos with No Transcripts: We now generate our own transcripts for YouTube videos that don t already have them. If a video lacks a transcript, you ll see a message indicating that we're generating one. It may take a bit longer than usual to receive your summary.
1-Click Share: It s now easier to share cards with others (even if they don t have an account). Simply click the link icon in the top right corner of the card. When you share the link, others can view the content no sign-up required.
Improved Code Block Support: Code blocks now feature better formatting and syntax highlighting within the editor.
Table Pasting via Markdown: You can now paste Markdown that contains tables directly into the Notebook, and it will render correctly.
Improved Copy-Paste: The Copy button in the Notebook now copies content in multiple MIME types (not just Markdown), making it compatible with a wider range of editors.
Table & Code Block Support Within Reader: Content that includes tables and code blocks is now seamlessly stored and displayed within Recall.
Bug Fixes:
Hello everyone, more tweaks and bug fixes just landed. We appreciate your patience as we work through our bigger milestones - we had a delay as we faced some UI/UX challenges. The good news is that our designs are in the final stages, and we ll be sharing flow previews of search for your feedback next week in Discord!
Improvements:
Better Copy and Paste: Links and formatting are now correctly preserved when copying content from Recall to other apps.
Undo/Redo on Mobile: The editor toolbar now includes undo/redo options, extending this functionality to mobile.
Bug Fixes:
the idea of the app is really good and the feature are working.. but the app mobile experience can be improve.
The concept is very interesting, being able to automatically generate summaries and interlink your bookmarks. However, there are some minor issues that surely will improve to create a final polished product, such as being able to import from other bookmarking services in formats like JSON or markdown.
Super helpful product! Really helps me condense information in a hurry. Very spot on too! Congrats and thank you, Recall team 👌🙏

Hello everyone! Paul here—co-founder and CEO of Recall.
It’s been 10 months since our last launch. It’s been an exciting, intense, and chaotic journey getting here (we delayed this launch several times to get it polished!) But now, we’re back with our biggest update yet: Augmented Browsing, Chat with Your Content, and more.
This feature seeded the inception of Recall. PKM has always been a passion of mine, but one question kept frustrating me:
I’d read something online, recognize something familiar, and then waste time searching through my messy notes —only to come up frustrated. I wanted a way to instantly resurface relevant knowledge as I browsed.
Introducing Augmented Browsing—An overlay on your browser that highlights keywords that are stored in your existing Recall knowledge base. This brings utility and real time connections to what has historically been a very passive knowledge management space. It is important to note that it is local first— nothing leaves your device while you browse. Do check out the tutorial of Augmented Browsing in action.
Here’s what’s in the release:
Augmented Browsing – Resurfaces related content from your knowledge base as you browse. Since Augmented Browsing is local-first, our keyword extraction doesn’t rely on an LLM—it’s powered by our own model. We’re constantly refining it to surface meaningful connections rather than just frequent keyword
Chat with Your Content – Our most requested feature! Ask questions and get insights from your saved sources.
Store Full Content – Use Recall as your go-to read-it-later app. Save entire pages and transcripts.
Together with our growing team - Igor, Sanks, Ali & Mason we are focused on a series of features that will continue to bring utility to the knowledge management space, so that you are consistently extracting value from the content you consume. This really is just the beginning for us, we hope this launch resonates with you. Truly excited to hear your candid feedback.
@paul_richards1 I love this tool so much! Thank you Paul!!
Are you planning to offer promo codes for subscriptions?
@paul_richards1 Subscribed!
@paul_richards1 hi. I don’t see where we can get the -25% discount.
Recall
@thefullstack Thats a great question. We store your entire knowledge base locally (in IndexedDB in your browser) - we then do entity extraction on each webpage you browse to and match those entities with ones that are already saved in your knowledge base this way nothing from the webpage is sent to our servers. Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have further questions!
@thefullstack @paul_richards1 Is recall selling data, blinded or otherwise, to 3rd party advertisers?
Recall
@thefullstack @snowandcaffeine No, definitely not. That is not our business.
Being a marketer, I actively look out for creative campaigns that describe a service/product so well that it sells automatically without sounding salesy. But it is very frustrating to create a personal swipe file in Google Sheets and then recheck it every time.
I'm super glad that Recall solves this. I simply ❤️️ it.
Now I browse freely, jump to multiple pages, dig down the rabbit hole, and that too without worrying about saving each link in a different sheet.
Thanks, entire Recall Team @sankari_nair @paul_richards1 @mason_hu @igor_gligorevic @jonnotie @thisalihassan , for making browsing efficient & fun. ✌️
