Whats New in Recall
Bulk Tagging from Card List View
You can now tag multiple cards at once directly from the homepage view, making it faster to organize your knowledge base. We know the flow from search → homepage → bulk action isn't quite seamless yet - we're working on it!

We've made significant improvements to the mobile experience:
- Fixed blank screen issue when sharing content to Recall via the share sheet
- Enabled screen rotation on the mobile app
- Share PDFs straight to Recall from your mobile device to quickly capture important documents.

This is a super exciting update! We've redesigned Recall Cards to give you more control over your layout and a much better reading experience with adjustable font sizes across the app.
What's New
Recall Card Redesign
- Customize your tabs by dragging and dropping them into place:Rearrange your Reader, Chat, Quiz, Notebook, Connections, and Graph View tabs in any order that suits your workflow. Simply drag tabs into place and they'll stay exactly where you want them.

- Expanded Reading Space:We've optimized the split screen layout to give your content more breathing room. The reader and right-side tabs now occupy more screen space, reducing distractions and helping you focus on what matters.
- Flexible Split View:Take full advantage of your screen real estate. Now you can move any tab to the right-hand panel. Compare sources side-by-side, keep chat open while reading, or reference your notebook alongside connections—the choice is yours.

Improved Readability
There is a lot more to come to enhance the reader experience. We want reading to feel simple and clean, this is a first step.
- Global Font Size Adjustment:Customize text size across Reader, Notebook, Chat, Quiz, and Graph View. Adjust this in your settings or on a card in the top right corner of the screen.
- Fixed Image Flickering:Resolved an annoying visual glitch where images would flicker while scrolling in the reader. Your reading experience should be smooth and distraction-free.

Bug Fixes
- Android Typing Issue Resolved:We've fixed the jumping bug that affected Android users when editing cards and notes. Typing should now feel responsive and natural.
- Smarter Chat Retrieval:Enhanced the chat experience for notebooks with limited content. Previously, chat responses could be less accurate when working with smaller notebooks. We've improved the retrieval algorithm to provide better, more relevant answers regardless of notebook size.
Coming Soon
We're excited about what's ahead. Here's what we're actively working on:
Mobile App Enhancements
- Instant Sharing:Share content from Recall without waiting for it to fully load. Perfect for those moments when you need to send something quickly to a classmate or colleague.
- Mobile UI Refinements:We're streamlining the mobile experience with improved navigation and a more intuitive interface optimized for smaller screens.
Editor & AI Improvements
- Streamlined Editing and AI Actions:We're working on a significantly enhanced writing experience, and AI operations on existing cards will become faster and more intuitive.
Tag Management
- Bulk Tag Operations:Manage your cards more efficiently with bulk tagging and tag removal from the card list view. Select multiple cards and apply or remove tags in one action—perfect for organizing large libraries or cleaning up your tag structure.
We're excited to share our latest updates focused on making your experience faster and more reliable. This release brings significant performance improvements, enhanced PDF experiences, and resolves several language consistency issues .

New Tutorial Series
We’ve heard your feedback that our tutorials were too fast-paced and not detailed enough. We’re launching a new, more comprehensive tutorial series—the first one is now live - My Top 5 Daily Use Cases for Recall.
What We’re Working On
A Better Reading Experience
We’re developing a comprehensive update to transform the Reader into a full-featured read-it-later application, including highlights with comments.
A Better Mobile Experience
There’s a lot to be done to improve the mobile app, with the biggest pain point being consistent sharing to Recall. Upcoming improvements include:
- Faster sharing with immediate save to Recall (without requiring content to load).
- A cleaner UI with many small but impactful wins (e.g., PDF zoom, adjustable font size).
Bulk Tag Management
While there are many ways to add content to Recall, we need better ways to manage it once it’s there. The next step will be adding the ability to apply or remove tags from multiple cards simultaneously in the card list view.
Chat Improvements
Chat will continue to be a primary focus, with upcoming enhancements such as custom prompts and improved workflows to save chat content directly to a new notebook.
Hello! After the big release of
Chat with Knowledge Base and Advanced Search
, we’ve been heads-down bashing bugs for a smoother experience. We’ll continue to focus on small improvements and fixes before shifting our attention back to the bigger roadmap.Here’s what we fixed:

- Fixed the Back button on mobile.
UI improvements to Chat with Knowledge Base on mobile:
- Automatically close the drawer when a user selects a chat history item or starts a new chat.

- Fixed an issue where the same source chip was returned repeatedly after a response in Chat.
Extension & Migration Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where multiple tab groups would open in your browser when migrating or doing a bulk import.
- Fixed data migration issues for legacy Recall users.
- Added Copy and Rate Chat features (still pending Chrome approval for the browser extension). @bou1958 FYI I know you were waiting for this.
What we’re working on:
- Focusing the correct point in the reader/notebook when a reference is clicked in a chat response.
- Adding the option to cancel or stop a chat response while it’s streaming.

Do keep the feedback coming as we look to our users to guide our next features: https://feedback.getrecall.ai/feature-requests
The moment is finally here! We’ve just launched what we can confidently say is the biggest update to Recall yet- bringing far more utility and flexibility to your knowledge base.
We’re also live on Product Hunt today, if you have a moment, we’d so appreciate your support.

Chat with your knowledge base
Recall now acts as a curated chatbot - built from the trusted sources you choose. Ask anything across everything you’ve saved, and get answers in seconds. You can also add context to your chat:
- Use @ followed by the name of a specific note to chat with that item.
- Use @ followed by a folder or tag name to chat with everything in that group.
Advanced search (full-text + semantic)
Find exactly what you need, when you need it! You can easily switch between standard (full-text) search or AI-powered semantic search when you can’t remember what it was called.
Save full Wikipedia pages and chat with them
When expanding connections or adding new ones, we now grab entire Wikipedia pages and let you tap into their knowledge anytime, right inside Recall.
An upgrade to notes you create yourself
- You can now chat with and summarize notes you create yourself
- You can also generate connections by going to the connections tab on a note you create yourself.
A huge, huge, huge shoutout to the incredible, resilient, and passion-fueled Recall team who poured in countless all-nighters to get us here. And another huge thank you to our beta testers — they drove the incremental improvements you see live today.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey. While we still have a long way to go and so much more to give, today marks a huge step forward for Recall — and, if we dare say, for knowledge management as a whole.
This week, we made progress on two of our biggest upcoming features: improved search and chat with your full knowledge base. These will roll out gradually over the next 1-2 weeks.
Get notified
of the launch here! We also kicked off development of a markdown import feature, making it easier to migrate notes from tools like Notion and Obsidian.
What’s New
Bulk Markdown Import (Part 1)
You can now import up to 10,000 markdown files at once—perfect for Obsidian vaults or Notion exports.This is our third most requested feature on Canny with 195 upvotes.

A few things to note:
- Supports Obsidian vaults and Notion .mdexports.
- Uses your existing tags (no AI-generated tags—yet). You will see a markdown and date tag added as well - this was added so that you can easily find your markdown imports and take bulk actions (for now, that is just to bulk delete).
- Chatting with or summarizing these notes will launch next week as part of the chat with knowledge base launch.
ChatGPT Conversation URL Support
You can now save ChatGPT conversations via public share URLs (browser extension only for now). Do note that the full reader is not stored but you can summarize and chat with the content.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the iOS share sheet bug where Recall wasn't appearing in certain apps.
- Resolved issues with online PDFs on sites like arXiv.org
- Fixed problems with local PDF files opened in-browser. Note: You’ll need to enable “Allow access to file URLs” in your browser’s extension settings.
- Eliminated duplicate images showing in the reader on some webpages
Improvements
- Upgraded our proxy infrastructure to make saving content across the app more reliable.
- Implemented smarter caching for public pages — if someone’s saved it before, it will load faster for you
In Progress
We’re deep in development on Advanced Search and Chat with Your Knowledge Base. Beta testing is underway, and we're now refining the chat model and working to ensure a smooth migration to the new app.
