Recall

Recall is a tool that lets you summarize and save any information you find on the web to your own personal knowledge base. The service provides a quick way to get the gist of lots of online documents, including YouTube videos, blog posts, PDFs and articles, and can save you hours of time.

Recall's core job is to automatically summarize information so you can quickly rediscover and organize what you've saved. The AI-powered summarization and storage abilities are designed to help you work more efficiently by quickly finding and recalling the information you need.

Some of Recall's features include:

• Summarize Any Online Content: Get the gist of podcasts, YouTube videos, news articles and more.
• Automatic Connections: New information is automatically connected to what you've already saved, helping you find related information again.
• Automatic Categorization: AI categorization makes it easier to manually categorize information so you can better organize it.
• Spaced Repetition: Learning is improved with spaced repetition to help you retain information better.
• Data Export: Export notes in Markdown format for easy import elsewhere.
• Offline Access: All data is stored locally so you can use the service offline.

Recall promises to protect your data, with full control over your data and the ability to export it in Markdown format. The service has a "strong stance on data ownership and portability," with servers in the EU.

Recall is available as browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox and as beta versions of mobile apps for iPhone and Android devices. You can start with a free version, but some features require the Plus Plan, which costs $7 per month if you pay annually. The tool could be useful for professionals, students and lifelong learners trying to get the most out of their learning and retention.
