We are so excited to share that one of our most requested features - summary length options has just been released.
This feature will give you more control over the length of the summary. You are able to choose between
concise
and detailed
summaries.This will work on all the ways that you create summaries in Recall:
- The Browser Extension
- Pasting in a URL
- Uploading a PDF
- Sharing on Mobile - note this will be based on the default settings you can configure in your settings page.
We're happy to announce another release for Recall. Here's what's included in the release:
- Upload PDFs directly from the web and mobile apps.
- Big performance improvements to the mobile apps (the app loads 80% faster on first launch).
- Dynamically set the image sizes for the preview image based on the image aspect ratio.
- Fixed YouTube summaries for Live videos.
We released a few touchups to our UI for a more intuitive navigation of the Recall Knowledge Base. This is just the first step in a series of UI improvements.
1. Drag and Drop:
You can now drag and drop cards in the left hand panel navigation to effortlessly organize your cards. 
2. Adding New Content
: A seamless way to ingest new content into Recall: Click the "New" button in the top right corner of the app to add new content into Recall:- Pasting a URL of any online content / adding content through wikipedia
- Creating a blank card
- Importing your bookmarks.
There is a lot more to come here as we plan to focus on more ways to bulk import content into Recall.
3. More Sorting Options:
We added the ability to sort cards in ascending / descending order. 4. Three ways to view your Knowledge Base:
In the top left corner you can switch between different ways to view your knowledge base. - Home: This is the default card view.
- Graph: This is the visual representation of the underlying infrastructure that connects all your knowledge together. Select a tag in the left hand panel to further filer your graph.
- Review: This switches to the "Recall Review" which creates a schedule to review the cards that you have generated questions for on a personalized schedule.
Tags are now based on topic of content
In this update we have changed how tags are automatically assigned. The previous logic assigned tags based on the source of the content. However, we have just refreshed this logic such that tags are now based on the topic of the content, rather than the source. This makes it easier to organize and find content based on the topic. It also results in less tags being created as the same tags get reused more often.
Example: A YouTube video by Tim Ferris on Longevity
Old Tagging:
New Tagging:
Easier to create nested tags
Creating nested tags is now easier. You can create a new tag and nest it under an existing tag simply by using the / character. For example, to create a tag Artificial Intelligence under Technology, you can simply type Technology/Artificial Intelligence when creating a new tag.
YouTube Video Links
Each point in a YouTube video can now be linked to a specific time in the video.
Smaller Improvements
- The onboarding banner doesn't show up after its already been dismissed
- Images resizing improvements: You can now resize images to be the full width of the screen. Images will also resize dynamically based on the screen size.
- Copying and pasting text from one card to another will now also copy card references.
- Fixed Canny login redirection being blocked by the browser.
- Fixed issue that was causing the mobile app to crash and show a grey screen.
- Fixed copy and paste saving issue.
