You'll likely forget 90% of the content you consume within a week. Recall summarizes online content, connects it in a knowledge graph and resurfaces it on a schedule tailored to your learning curve, helping you remember the information you care about.

Hi PH community! I’m Paul, co-founder and CEO of Recall. I am an avid content consumer and note-taker who cares deeply about the knowledge I accumulate throughout my lifetime. In fact, I view my knowledge as one of my most precious resources. Despite trying every trending knowledge management tool out there, I consistently found myself spending more time meticulously crafting and categorizing my notes, only to forget about them when I needed them most. Having a background in knowledge graphs, I thought wouldn’t it be awesome if all my notes and the content I consumed was organized into a knowledge graph - resurfacing past content when new related content came up and helping me discover connections that I otherwise would have missed. When my frustration reached an all-time peak, I decided to take matters into my own hands and built my own tool. Recall started off as a side-project that I built for myself. I posted about it on Hacker News nearly two years ago and that was where the whirlwind began. My post trended on HN for over 13 hours, we received funding in less than 24 hours and I quit my job to go all in. That brings us to today! Together with my founding team— Igor and Sanks—we’re on a mission to bring order to content chaos, add intention to the content we consume, and ultimately bring back the joy of learning. The Recall Review is a baby step in our rich product vision. Check it out, and please share your candid feedback.

Comment highlights

I have been using Recall for more than a year and the improvements have been excellent. Looking back at my notes from March of 2023 when they launched the beta of the browser extension, I can see that I've not used this tool nearly as much as I should have been. I've collected thousands of things in Notion which is fine, but I really could have been collecting those same items in Recall and have a really powerful setup by now. I'm looking forward to reengaging with this tool in a more effective way and leveraging it for all of the workflows that I use.

Congratulations Paul .. Looks to be a great product. How do I get the 40% discount listed on your site?

I prefer to use https://www.quivr.com and run everything locally for privacy.

Congrats on the launch! Can you share more details on how Recall manages to create connections between different types of content?

congrats on the launch. the concept of connecting consumed content in a knowledge graph is quite intriguing. can you share more about how Recall differentiates the resurfacing of content based on the user's learning curve? how does it adapt to different user behaviors or preferences in learning?

Love the product!🔥I can relate to struggling to retain information, so this could be a game-changer for me.

Recall is fantastic! The knowledge graph approach to organizing notes is exactly what I've been looking for. Excited to see how it improves my content management. Great job, Recall team!

@paul_richards1 great innovation.. This looks interesting and promising also.. Looking forward to try this

@paul_richards1 awesome innovation... This looks very interesting and promising... Looking forward to use this

There are so many summarization and bookmarking tools but I haven't seen any that focus on the learning and recall component. Smart

Congrats on the launch, definitely excited to give this app a try. Is there a mobile version available? Might want to use this over RainDrop.
