Recall
Your executive
second brain.

Connect the dots across years of decisions, meetings, and context. The longer you use it, the smarter it gets.

Differentiation

What Recall is not.

Not a note-taking app.

Notes are a side effect, not the goal. Recall is what happens when your notes start thinking for you.

Not a chatbot.

It doesn't just answer questions. It surfaces connections you didn't know to ask about — across months and years of your own history.

Not a task manager.

Your tasks live in your existing tools. Recall is the intelligence layer above them.

Not a productivity hack.

The value isn't speed. It's depth. Recall gets more useful the longer you use it — most tools don't work that way.

Not for everyone.

If you run one project and have a good memory, you probably don't need Recall. If you run a company and have five years of decisions to draw on — you definitely do.

Not built for developers.

You shouldn't need to write code to have an intelligent context layer for your work life. Recall is built for executives, not engineers.


Identity

What Recall is.

Longitudinal intelligence.

Every meeting, decision, idea, and reflection gets captured and connected. Six months from now, Recall can tell you that the vendor problem you're facing today is structurally identical to something that blew up in Q3 — and what you learned from it.

A memory that compounds.

Most AI tools are stateless. Every conversation starts from scratch. Recall is different — it accumulates context over time, and that context becomes the asset.

Your patterns, made visible.

How you make decisions. Who you trust. What slows you down. Recall doesn't just store your history — it reflects it back to you in useful ways.

Open and self-hosted.

Your context is yours. No cloud lock-in, no opaque data handling. Recall runs on your machine, with your files, under your control.

"The value isn't what it does for you today.
It's what it remembers for you tomorrow."
Problems Solved

What changes with Recall.

WITHOUT
You walk into a meeting and can't remember what you decided in the last one, three months ago.
WITH RECALL
Recall surfaces the prior meeting, the decision you made, and the reasoning behind it — before you even ask.
WITHOUT
You repeat the same mistakes because the context that would prevent them is buried in old notes no one reads.
WITH RECALL
Patterns surface automatically. Recall connects today's situation to past ones and shows you what happened.
WITHOUT
Your institutional knowledge lives in your head. When you're out of capacity, it's inaccessible.
WITH RECALL
Your knowledge is externalized, organized, and queryable — even on your worst days.
WITHOUT
You can't remember why you made that decision last year. Neither can your team.
WITH RECALL
Every decision has context. The reasoning, the alternatives, the outcome — all searchable, all connected.
WITHOUT
You start every morning re-orienting yourself. What's urgent? What's pending? What did I promise?
WITH RECALL
Your day starts with a briefing built from your own context — what matters, what's changed, what to focus on.

How It Works

Set up in an afternoon.
Invaluable in a year.

01

Set up your vault.

Install Recall and connect it to your Obsidian workspace. Pre-built folder structures and templates get you capturing useful context from day one.

02

Capture your world.

Meetings, decisions, ideas, reflections. Recall gives you a structure for capturing what matters — and an AI that can make sense of it all.

03

Watch the dots connect.

Weeks, months, years later — Recall starts surfacing connections you couldn't have made yourself. The longer you use it, the more it pays off.


Features

Everything you need to remember
everything that matters.

Longitudinal memory

Context accumulates over time. Recall connects today's work to decisions, conversations, and patterns from months or years ago.

Daily briefings

Start every morning with a summary built from your own context — what's pending, what changed, what you need to focus on.

Natural language queries

Ask questions in plain English. "What did we decide about the pricing strategy last quarter?" Recall finds it.

Pattern recognition

Recall surfaces recurring themes, unresolved tensions, and behavioral patterns across your captured history.

Meeting intelligence

Log meetings with structured templates. Recall links them to prior discussions, open threads, and relevant decisions automatically.

Open source & self-hosted

Your data never leaves your machine. Runs on Claude via your own API key. No subscriptions, no data harvesting, no lock-in.

Quickstart

Open source. Self-hosted. An interactive setup walks you through connecting your vault, configuring your AI, and capturing your first week of context. No account required.
