Why people make Recall part of their day
“Think of it as a library of everything you've read and watched, with an AI sitting on top that has read it too. Recall makes that easier than anything else we tried.”
“Recall works the way your brain works! Perfect for deep research or growing your knowledge on any topic.”
“I love [Recall’s] interface, its speed, and its overall user experience… it is scratching my web-hoarding itch unlike anything else has quite been able to do to date.”
“One of my favorite AI apps is Recall. I've used it constantly for almost a year to manage and transcribe all the videos we create and work with. It's the kind of AI app that's just become part of my daily workflow, the highest compliment you can pay a piece of software.”
“After just a few months, Recall has become one of my most-used apps on both desktop and mobile. Frankly, I'd rather give up Microsoft Word than Recall.”
“I've tried practically every AI tool out there, and Recall is among the very few that I've actually found myself using. It has completely changed the way I study.”
“I didn't expect much from Recall. But it completely blew me away. It does everything NotebookLM does and also fills in all its shortcomings.”
“I run two parallel careers, which means staying current across rapidly evolving topics. Recall is the front door to my entire knowledge workflow.”
Fernand
Head of Technology
“Recall has revolutionized how I manage information! As a power user, its AI-driven summarization and storage capabilities have boosted my productivity tenfold, allowing me to effortlessly access and recall key details whenever I need them.”
William Peltier
Senior Director at Moody's
“I use Recall on a daily basis to cultivate and build a hand-picked database of information. The end result is like having a personalized AI loaded with sources pre-screened for quality.”
Roses
Human Rights Worker
“I use Recall every day. It helps me quickly condense important information from thought leadership articles and educational YouTube videos. It's great to have a place where I can easily store this information knowing that I will come back to it again in the future. I've greatly developed as a founder and leader thanks to Recall.”
Jason Patel
Co-founder at Open Forge AI
“I've been building several second brains for years and whenever I see a new way to do it, I don't like changing because my other systems already work. But I'm always willing to try because you never know which one would be a drastic improvement on what you're already using. Recall is one of them.”
Dave Katague
AI Educator
“Recall has become an essential part of how I learn, think, and explore the world.”

Student, Data Analyst
WHY IT MATTERS
Thinking Stop Outsourcing Your
Most people now ask chatbots before they ask themselves. A second brain changes the order: your own notes, articles, videos, PDFs, and ideas become the first source of context, not an archive you forget.
Frictionless Capture
Save articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, and notes from the web or your phone in one click, so useful knowledge stops disappearing into tabs and bookmarks.
Self-Organizing Library
AI summaries and automatic tags sort everything you save, so your knowledge stays organized without folders to maintain by hand.
Chat With Your Knowledge
Chat across your full library, selected sources, or the web. Recall cites your own saved sources first, so old articles, videos, notes, and PDFs become context for new questions.
Connected Knowledge Graph
Recall links related ideas in a knowledge graph and resurfaces related content while you browse, so you see how your knowledge connects and rediscover it in context.
Enhanced Long-Term Memory
Built-in quizzes and spaced repetition resurface the most important ideas on schedule, turning what you save into lasting memory.
Private and Portable
Recall never trains AI on your content. Export everything anytime, and use the API or MCP to connect your knowledge to the AI tools and workflows you already use.

SIDE BY SIDE
Recall vs. Traditional Second Brain Apps
A quick look at what changes when your knowledge system is built around AI capture, retrieval, and memory instead of manual filing.
| Feature | Recall | Traditional Notes Apps |
|---|---|---|
| Capture | ||
Best for | A lifelong AI knowledge base for web content, videos, podcasts, PDFs, and notes | Self-authored notes, manual workspaces, or project-specific research |
Supported sources | Articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, webpages, highlights, and rich notes. See all supported content | Usually strongest for typed notes, documents, or manually imported sources |
| Organization | ||
Setup required | Automatic summaries, tags, categories, and knowledge graph connections | Folders, templates, tags, backlinks, or databases you maintain yourself |
| Connections | ||
Linking related content | Automatically connects related content, resurfaces it while you browse, and maps it in a knowledge graph you can also edit by hand | Manual backlinks and tags you create and maintain yourself |
| Retrieval | ||
What you can chat with | Your whole library, selected saves, the open web, or both — with citations back to the source | Search, backlinks, folders, or chat that only sees the current note |
| Memory | ||
Long-term retention | Built-in quizzes and spaced repetition | Usually requires flashcard plugins, manual review, or a separate study tool |
| Workflow | ||
AI assistant access | MCP and API access connect your saved knowledge to external AI workflows MCP docs | Often limited to exports, plugins, or one-app AI features |
Free plan | Unlimited saves with limited AI summaries | Varies by app; many limit sync, storage, AI, or collaboration |

Quick comparison: choose a manual notes app if you want to design every folder, tag, and template yourself. Choose Recall if you want an AI knowledge base that captures, summarizes, organizes, resurfaces, and remembers knowledge automatically.
