BetaOne tap back to the work you meant to finish

Never lose the thread of your work again.

What builders / operators are saying

Recall is one of those products you get the first time it saves you. You’re buried in calls, tabs and messages, then it quietly brings you back to the exact thing you were trying to finish. No tasks to manage, no setup, no babysitting. Just a very useful “oh right” moment.

A day breaks the same six ways. Recall answers each one.

six breaks · six returns
what breaksthe return

Losing the thread

You forget what you opened, why you opened it, and what the real task was supposed to be.

It holds the thread for you

Recall keeps what you were on, so you never have to re-find it.

Restart friction

Coming back from a meeting takes longer than the meeting itself. The thread is somewhere on this screen.

More finished work, less mental restart.

Every cold re-entry costs 10 to 20 minutes rebuilding context. Recall hands it back instantly.

Useless reminders

“You left Chrome.” Yes. With twenty-seven tabs and no idea which one was the work.

Less time finding, more time doing.

The average distracted desktop session loses 18 minutes to re-orientation. Recall returns most of that.

Busy, blurry

The day passes. You worked all of it. You can’t quite say what you finished.

A day you can actually remember.

An end-of-day summary that's a real story, not a list of app names. So you know what you actually moved.

Context collapse

The file is open. The task is not. You can see the pieces, but not what you were doing.

Less guilt about scattered days.

Some days are foggy. Recall doesn't grade you. It adapts and keeps the thread for when you're ready.

Adaptive support

Some days are not the same day. Recall isn't, either.

How Recall works

Recall brings you back in one tap, not forty clicks.

See how it works
01Capture

Context, without the noise.

Quiet snapshots of what's on your screen. Recall filters out the noise immediately. Only meaningful activity survives.

tab · file · click · paste · scroll
02Group

Fragments become a session.

Forty-three apps and tabs reframe themselves into one human-readable thread: "Hero copy edits, Recall homepage."

Hero copy edits · 47m
03Notice

It feels the drift before you do.

When the thread starts to fray, through lunch, a Slack rabbit hole, or a long Wikipedia detour, Recall holds your place quietly until you're back.

Drift · 14m
04Return

One step back to where you were.

A context card with the real work: the file, the tab, the doc, the thought you left mid-sentence. One tap. You're back exactly where you stopped.

1 thread, ready
Inside the app

Recall reads the shape of your work.

Not a timer or a streak. A quiet, private read on how your sessions actually move, with one tap back to the thread that matters most.

Recall's work-shape view showing an inferred work type, primary apps, a private focus grade, and a Return to the strongest thread button.
Trust by architecture

A tool that watches your screen has to earn your trust.

Your work context stays on your machine. You never choose between focus support and trust.

Read our privacy principles

Privacy by design

Every snapshot, every filter, every model call is designed to stay on your machine. No hidden pipelines.

ADHD-friendly by default

No lectures, no "just try harder." Gentle nudges that respect how your brain actually works, built by people who live the pattern.

No ads, no resale

We don't have an ad business and we won't start one. Your context isn't a product we monetize.

Pause and forget

One key. Recall stops capturing. Delete the app, and the history goes with it. You stay in control.

No manager dashboard

Recall is for you, not for your employer to score you.

Pricing & value

One place to return, not another tool to manage.

Why we built Recall

Recall started with a problem we kept running into every day.

We work the way a lot of builders do: many tabs open, interruptions everywhere, and too many unfinished loops.

A meeting lands at the worst moment. A message pulls attention sideways. By evening, the file is still open, but the thread is gone.

We built Recall from real life, not ideal conditions. Work does not happen in one clean block. It gets split by calls, context switches, family, and everything else the day throws at you.

Most productivity tools ask you to manage more: more planning, more tagging, more systems to maintain. But the real problem was not planning. It was returning.

So we built it for ourselves, and for everyone whose focus is scattered across the day. Recall runs quietly in the background, remembers what you were working on across tabs, apps, files, and messages, and brings you back to the exact task you meant to finish.

One calm place to return.

// what recall is
Another task manager. Another timer. Another dashboard.

A quiet AI companion that remembers your work so your attention can come and go.

Recall runs in the background, groups your work into real sessions, notices when your focus drifts, and gives you one calm path back. No tagging. No streaks. No productivity theater.
