Recall review

Recall is built for people whose notes start as things they read, watch or listen to. You save YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs and articles through browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox or the iOS and Android apps, and Recall writes concise or detailed summaries with timestamps. On Plus it adds smart tags, an automatic knowledge graph that links related cards, and Augmented Browsing that resurfaces connections while you read. AI chat can answer from your saved knowledge, the open web or both in one conversation, and quizzes with spaced repetition help you keep what you learned. The free plan includes unlimited notes and saved content, a visual knowledge graph you link by hand, API and MCP access, and 10 AI summaries a month. Plus costs $10 a month billed yearly, and Max at $38 adds model choice across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini plus bulk AI actions. The main limits are the small free summary allowance and annual billing for the headline price.
