Recall already has great custom tags. This feature would add a fast, visual priority layer on top of them.
I would love the ability to mark notes with simple visual indicators, for example:
• ★ 1 to ★ 5 star ratings
• An important or urgent icon
• A small color dot or badge
Most importantly, these indicators should be visible directly in the notes list view.
Why this is valuable
Tags are excellent for structure and meaning, but visual markers work differently:
• Instantly recognizable
• Easy to scan across many notes
• Usable without reading or interpretation
This makes it much easier to:
• Decide what to work on next
• Spot high impact or time sensitive notes
• Manage large note collections at a glance
How this complements tags
Tags describe what a note is about.
Visual indicators show how important it is.
Both support different mental models and work best together.
Minimal implementation would already help
Even a very lightweight version, such as a star rating shown next to the note title in list view, would significantly improve daily usability.
This would make Recall feel not only powerful, but also immediately readable and action oriented.
