Recall

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity5.0

AI-powered knowledge tool that summarizes and organizes online content into a connected knowledge base.

Recall finally makes its library searchable by what's inside the cards, not just their titles.

◆Current state
Recall is a personal knowledge base that saves content from around the web, summarizes it, and lets users chat across the whole library. The last two months went to consolidation rather than expansion: social saving was rebuilt end to end, a table view landed on the home page, AI coverage widened to 62 languages with more models on Max, and a Use Case Hub was published to answer what the tool is actually for. Search has now moved out of a popup and into the library itself, with full-page results and matching inside the content of a card rather than only its title. Desktop gets it first, with mobile to follow.
◆Where it's heading
The arc runs from intake to retrieval. Earlier releases widened what Recall can swallow — Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple News, Substack — and the current work is about finding things again once the library is large. Search-inside-content is the payoff of the groundwork flagged in the 12 July notes, and it lands as the third consecutive release aimed at making existing features hold up rather than adding new ones. Personas and multi-select point the same way: fewer new surfaces, more control over the ones already there.
◆Prediction
The mobile search overhaul is explicitly promised and is the most likely next release. Beyond that, the combination of full-content search and cross-card chat suggests retrieval quality inside chat is the next thing to get attention.

    Recall release notes - July 30, 2026 - Search your whole library, right where your cards are

    Search moves from a cramped popup into the library as full-page results, and now matches text inside saved content rather than titles alone. This is the delivery of the search groundwork trailed in the 12 July notes, and it matters more as the library grows; desktop lands first with mobile to follow.

    Recall release notes - July 23, 2026 - Rebuilt social saves, table view, more AI languages and models

    Social saving was rebuilt end to end, a table view arrived on the home page, and AI coverage expanded to 62 languages with more models on Max. The framing is explicit — making what already exists more reliable rather than adding surfaces.

    Recall Release Notes: 12 July, 2026 - The Use Cases Hub, plus a Step Towards Improved Search

    The Use Case Hub is a documentation and positioning move — an answer to what Recall is for once it outgrew simple saving. The same release lays the groundwork for the integrated search that shipped at the end of July.

    Recall release notes, 26 June 2026: Instagram, LinkedIn, and more

    Instagram and LinkedIn join the supported sources, extending intake into social platforms that are awkward to capture. It is the widening phase that the later reliability work exists to clean up.

    Recall release notes, 18 June 2026: Introducing Custom Personas

    Personas let users set tone and formatting rules once instead of repeating instructions on every request. It is a small control surface that reduces friction across every AI output in the product.

    Recall release notes, 15 June 2026: Group cards on your home page by date, Apple News support, and more

    Date grouping on the home page, Apple News as a source, and passwordless sign-in via one-time code. Three unrelated small wins, typical of the pre-consolidation cadence.
