Recall started as a simple place to save the things you cared about. It has grown into something much bigger. This release marks that shift with the launch of our Use Case Hub, alongside the groundwork for a smarter, more integrated search experience.
Recall Use Case Hub
We get asked all the time "what should I actually use Recall for?" and now there is a proper home for the answer. What had started as a great place to save your interests from health research and recipes has now evolved into a powerful research, writing, AI, and knowledge engine.
The use case hub (site & docs) is a growing library of guides showing how real people put Recall to work, from grounding deep research and writing in your own sources to building a movie recommendation tracker.
Filter the use case hub for a high level overview, which links out to our docs for step by step guides:
- By workflow- what your primary use case for Recall is, from daily productivity to curating a knowledge base grounded in the experts you trust.
- By persona- who you are, whether that is a researcher, student, marketer, hobbyist, or someone using Recall for enhanced focus.
- By content type- what you are saving, from PDFs and articles to social content like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.
This is a resource we will continue to invest in, so please share your personal use cases and how we can improve them. We want to know which guides are genuinely useful, which are missing, and where a deeper dive would help.
A Step Towards Improved Search
We also have a bigger vision for search. Rather than living inside a modal, we want your results to surface right in the main home page view, so exploring your knowledge base feels seamless instead of tucked away in a popup. This release is a step towards that, while we keep iterating on a smoother experience.
Filter your library
from the items page by tags, date range, source (websites, notes, and PDFs), and shared status. Includes multi-select, untagged cards, counts per option, and filters that persist after refresh.
Improvements & Bug Fixes:
Multi-Select Cards from the Tag Tree:
Shift-click to select a range of tags in the tag tree for bulk actions.Larger PDF uploads:
upload files up to 250 MB (previously 100 MB).Growing chat input:
the chat box now expands as you type longer messages, up to 12 lines.Improved reliability:
This has and will continue to be a core focus, ensuring that sharing content across devices continues to work smoothly.- Going offline while saving content no longer loses your work. Saving recovers automatically once you are back online.
- Recall appears more reliably in the Android share sheet when sharing links or files from other apps.
Notebook improvements:
- Improved notebook sync across devices.
- More reliable pasting of images into notebooks.
- Notebook connections typed with spaces in the name now work correctly on iOS.
Improved content support:
- Journal articles from sites like Elsevier and JNS now keep inline citation markers, render tables correctly, and preserve content after the references section.
- Improved Wikipedia support: sharing Wikipedia links from email or social apps no longer fails when the URL includes tracking parameters.
Other Bug Fixes
- Knowledge graph now displays correctly when viewing a card in split view.
- Using your browser's translate feature (for example Google Translate) no longer crashes the app when adding a link through the add content dialog.
- Quiz questions show clearer feedback: multiple-choice explanations align correctly, and true/false answers now show the correct response when you get one wrong.
Coming Soon
For the next few weeks we will be focused on improving reliability and giving you a smoother experience before tackling some of our more exciting features.
While we launched a lot of new content support recently (such as LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and more), we have noticed that reliability has not been where we would like it. We have prioritized improving support for these platforms.
Also on the way:
- Improved Chat: This will continue to be an ongoing investment, starting from chat-suggested questions through to an omnipresent chat and ongoing UI/UX improvements, like the ability to save multiple chat outputs to a single notebook.
- Improved tagging and connections:upgrading our LLM models and the algorithms behind AI-generated tags and connections.
- More language support.This has been on our list for a while, and you can expect many more languages soon.
- Safari extension!Yes this is finally in the works.
- Faster, more reliable mobile sharing.Ideally you can share content to Recall, not wait for it to load, and trust that it will be saved to your knowledge base. This will be the first step in the development of thewrite API.
