Recall Release Notes: Feb 19, 2026 - Quiz 2.0 with Shared Challenges

When we released the first version of the Quiz in Recall, we weren't sure how our users would respond. The Product Hunt launch exceeded our expectations, earning us product of the day, week, and month. Quiz has since become one of our stickiest features, with an average of 70 questions answered per user per month.
Given the strong engagement, we decided to invest further, bringing more question types, more flexibility in your review schedule, and our most exciting addition yet:
shared quizzes.
Save any content into Recall: YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, articles, TikToks, or take your own rich text notes and head over to the quiz tab to get started.
Challenge Your Friends
Turn any quiz into a competition by sharing a challenge link. Here are a few that you can take for a spin now:
  1. History of AI - which truly humbled our co-founder Sanks - the results were shocking!
  2. What alcohol does to your body, brain, and health
  3. The quiz 2.0 tutorial! Let's see how much you gathered from the video.
  • No sign-up required
    for participants: anyone with the link can play.
  • Live leaderboard
    ranks everyone by score, with time as a tiebreaker.
  • Challenge someone directly
    by sharing your attempt link. They'll see your score as a target to beat.
7 Question Types
The old quiz was multiple choice only. Now, Recall supports
seven question types
to test different aspects of your understanding. You choose which types to include when generating questions, and you can also create any type manually.
  • Multiple Choice:
    Pick the correct answer from several options.
  • True/False:
    Decide whether a statement is true or false.
  • Fill in the Blank:
    Complete a sentence by selecting the missing word or phrase.
  • Short Answer:
    Type the answer from memory with no hints. AI is not analyzing this answer right now; it's a match-based system. This will evolve in the future.
  • Matching:
    Connect related items by drawing pairs.
  • Ordering:
    Arrange items in the correct sequence.
  • Flashcard:
    Flip a card and rate whether you knew the answer.
Custom quiz settings
When generating a set of questions, there are a lot more options to customize the actual quiz:
  • Difficulty level:
    easy, medium, hard, or mixed.
  • Include explanations:
    so you get a bit more context on the answer.
  • Include hints:
    To get a bit of help when stuck.
Review Dashboard
A new dashboard gives you a complete view of your learning progress:
  • Review schedule:
    See how many questions are Ready for Review, Due This Week, and coming Next Week.
  • Streak calendar:
    Track your review consistency with a visual calendar.
  • Activity chart:
    Daily review stats as a bar chart, filterable by time period.
  • Memory stats:
    See how your questions are distributed across five knowledge stages (New, Learning, Practiced, Confident, Mastered).
  • Memory progress:
    A stacked area chart showing how questions move through stages over time.
  • Activity heatmap:
    A full-year GitHub-style contribution graph of your review history.
Questions Tab
A new Questions tab on the Review page lets you browse all your questions across all cards. This gives you a lot more flexibility in your review schedule. Head over to the Questions tab to:
  • View all the questions in your review.
  • Schedule / Unschedule them.
  • Bulk delete them.
  • Filter by tag and take a review on just a custom subset of questions.
  • Filter by review status, tag, or search text.
Streaks
Build a lasting review habit with daily or weekly streaks:
  • Choose your streak goal in Settings, this can be daily or weekly.
  • Head over to the Recall review tab, and you can see your street calendar for more details on how you've performed.
Notifications
We have email notifications and push notifications coming soon. You'll be able to customize them according to your streak goal as well as your preferred time zone. We hope that this can encourage you to build a strong retention practice with Recall.
Timed Questions
Enable an optional countdown timer per question in Settings:
  • A progress bar changes color from normal to yellow to red as time runs out.
  • Auto-submits when time expires.
  • Configurable from 10 to 120 seconds per question.
Question Management During Quizzes
Full control over questions without leaving the quiz session:
  • Edit, delete, or schedule/unschedule questions mid-quiz.
  • Click the study material link to open the source card for quick reference.
  • Hints available on supported questions, with detailed explanations shown after answering.
Spaced Repetition with Knowledge Stages
Every question progresses through five stages: New, Learning, Practiced, Confident, and Mastered. Review intervals increase from 1 day up to 3 months as you demonstrate knowledge. Incorrect answers drop questions back to Learning for reinforcement.
Other Bug Fixes & Enhancements
Apart from the focus on Quiz 2.0, there were a couple of bug fixes and UI/UX improvements:
  • iPad tag tree issues:
    Fixed various issues with the tag tree on iPad.
  • AI actions in the notebook now respect your language setting:
    AI-generated content from the editor and backend endpoints now uses your configured language instead of defaulting to English.
  • Extension: Sticky header:
    The browser extension header is now sticky, staying visible as you scroll.
  • Extension: PDF error messaging for Firefox:
    Firefox users now see a clear error message when PDF processing isn't supported, instead of a silent failure.
  • Referral verification:
    Fixed an issue where referrals weren't being verified at the correct time.
  • Usage reset modal:
    Fixed the usage reset modal showing incorrectly for some users.
