What is Recall?
Save anything, get summaries, a knowledge graph and quizzes.
Who is Recall best for?
Recall is best for lifelong learners and researchers who want saved articles, videos and PDFs summarized.
Learning from videos and podcasts
It summarizes YouTube videos, podcasts, articles and PDFs, with timestamps, into cards you can come back to later.
A personal knowledge base
Saved items get tags and links on their own and appear in a knowledge graph, so there are no folders to file by hand.
Remembering what you read
Quizzes built from your saved content come back on a spaced repetition schedule.
Heavy research workloads
Max lets you pick the frontier model per task and summarize, tag and connect up to 100 items in one go.
