Recall

Recall is a personal AI knowledge base for saving, summarizing, organizing, connecting, and discussing articles, videos, podcasts, PDFs, and notes. It can connect related saved items in a knowledge graph and surface those links while users browse. Users can chat with their saved material, the open web, or both using models including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Recall can also generate quizzes and use spaced repetition to revisit saved content. Its MCP server connects with Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini CLI, but currently allows read-only access to the knowledge base. Recall says it does not use user data for advertising, profiling, or AI training; it also describes augmented browsing as local-first, with processing on the device and no browsing data sent to its servers. Users can access, export, or delete their data. The Free plan includes 10 AI summaries per month, unlimited saved content and notes, and API and MCP access. Plus costs $10 a month billed yearly; Max costs $38 a month billed yearly. Recall supports web, iOS, Android, browser extensions, and offline access.
