Recall
Recall is a personal AI knowledge base and summarizer that saves articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, and notes in one place. It turns each saved item into a summarized card, tags it automatically, and links related ideas in a knowledge graph you can browse or chat with. You pick the AI model for questions, including ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, and answers can draw on your saved library, the open web, or both.
Where NotebookLM locks you into one notebook per project and Obsidian expects you to build every link by hand, Recall treats lifelong learning as one growing library. It captures web content in a click, summarizes it, connects it without manual filing, and adds spaced repetition quizzes so saved material actually sticks. The trade-off is less team workspace structure than Notion and less local-first control than Obsidian.
Recall fits researchers, founders, students, and heavy readers who save more than they can reread. Browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, plus iOS and Android apps, make it easy to clip on the go and pick up in the web app later.
Free tier includes 10 AI summaries per month plus unlimited saves of articles, videos, and PDFs
Plus plan at $10 per month (billed yearly) unlocks unlimited AI summaries and automatic smart tags
Chat across your saved library, the open web, or both using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other models
Spaced repetition quizzes generated from saved cards to reinforce long-term memory
Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and Android apps plus API and MCP access to connect external AI tools
Augmented browsing resurfaces related saved cards while you read new pages on the web
Saves and summarizes articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, and PDFs in one click from browser or mobile.
Builds a knowledge graph automatically instead of requiring manual linking like Obsidian.
Lets you chat with saved content using multiple frontier models, not just one provider.
Includes spaced repetition quizzes to turn saved summaries into long-term memory.
Free plan caps AI summaries at 10 per month, so heavy users need a paid plan.
Less suited for team project management than workspace tools like Notion.
Canonical site lives at recall.it while older getrecall.ai links redirect, which can confuse bookmarks.
