Your mind drifts. Recall brings you back.
An open-source background companion that quietly tracks your work context, so when you lose the thread, one action brings it all back.

Deployed staging
Reviewing build activity and configuration files
You started the day focused on App Store Connect and Recall in Chrome. The afternoon was focused on experimentation with various models and tools, including LiteRT and Claude Code.
Does this feel familiar?
You're not lazy. You're not broken. Your tools just weren't built for how attention actually works.
The restart tax
You come back to your desk after a break and spend 15 minutes just figuring out where you left off.
Tab graveyard
27 tabs open. You know one of them matters. You can't remember which.
Good intentions, lost thread
You started the morning with a clear plan. By noon, you couldn't tell someone what you actually worked on.
End-of-day blur
You were busy all day. But when someone asks what you did, your mind goes blank.
How Recall works
Five steps, zero effort. Recall works silently in the background.
Tracks quietly
Zero configuration neededRecall runs in the background, observing your active apps, files, and browser tabs, without recording content. Over time it quietly builds a profile of how you work (programmer, marketer, designer, musician, and more), so everything that follows is calibrated to you. Profile detection is in early development and a few specialties are already live.
Recall adapts to how you're working
Your workday isn't one mode. Recall detects six different working patterns and calibrates them to your profile, so a programmer, marketer, or musician each get support tuned to how they actually work. A programmer who drifts into Scattered at 5pm gets different help than a marketer deep in Reactive.
Locked In
Deep focus, low context switching
“When I finally lock in, I don't want anything to break the spell. Recall sits quiet and lets me stay there for two hours straight.”
Scattered
Frequent app switching, fragmented attention
“I'll bounce between Figma, Slack and three browsers in 10 minutes. Recall is the only thing that can tell me what I was actually doing.”
Foggy
Idle periods, low output, unclear direction
“Some mornings my brain won't boot. Recall shows me exactly what I had open yesterday, and I slide back in without having to think.”
Re-entry
Coming back after a break or interruption
“I came back from a 3-day conference and couldn't remember which branch I was on. Recall reopened the five exact tabs I had before I left.”
Overloaded
Too many threads, too many tools
“I have twelve threads open at any moment. Recall collapses them into one view. It's the first tool that treats overload as a reality, not a failure.”
Reactive
Responding to pings, notifications, and requests
“My day is just responding to pings. Recall quietly captures what I was doing between each interruption, so I never lose the thread.”
What changes.
Three measurable shifts you'll feel within the first week. Not promises, but patterns Recall makes visible once your attention has a memory.
Restart in seconds, not minutes
No more digging through tabs, files, and chat threads to find where you were. One click restores your context.
See your real workday
Understand where your time actually goes, not what your calendar says, but what your attention did.
Less guilt, more clarity
Fragmentation is normal. Recall makes it visible and recoverable, instead of something you blame yourself for.
One action to get back
Smart Return is the moment Recall feels like magic. It takes your last meaningful session, the files, tabs, and context, and reopens everything in one click.
