Get ready for a big update and a sneak peek of what's to come! We packed a lot into this release, all focused on making your Recall experience smoother and more intuitive.
Improved Organization with tag tree improvements:
If you've been frustrated with the lack of flexibility and customization of your tag tree (the left panel that shows all of the tags), then you are in for a treat!
Get all the details in our docs.
- Create tags anywhere in the tree- Create new tags without first needing to associate it with a Recall card. This way you can create your ideal structure and then add content to it later.
- Flexible sorting options- Sort your tags alphabetically, by created date, by updated date, or choosemanual modeto arrange them in your own custom order
- Faster performance for large knowledge bases- Updated the tag tree for speed, so it stays responsive even if you have thousands of cards.
- Edit tags inline- Rename tags directly in the tree with a single click.
- Bulk actions- Select multiple tags or cards (Cmd/Ctrl+click) to edit or delete them all at once, saving time when reorganizing.
- Expand/collapse all- Quickly expand or collapse the entire tag tree with one click to get an overview or focus on specific areas
- Improved drag & drop- Many UX improvements to how drag and drop works when rearranging tags and cards. It also now works much better on mobile.
- Filter by untagged items- Quickly filter on cards that haven't been organized yet
- Better mobile experience- Replaced long-press with a menu button for easier access to tag action
A significantly improved mobile sharing experience:
If you often found yourself needing to share a piece of content with the Recall mobile app twice, that was a huge frustration and something we were really excited to say has now been fixed. When sharing content to Recall, it should directly open up the app without requiring a double share. Additionally, we will continue to improve this experience so that you don't have such a long loading state, and you could close the app and continue about your day. More to come here.
Upload PDFs without selectable text with OCR processing:
If you've had PDFs that you've tried to upload to Recall in the past that previously didn't work, it's likely because it didn't have selectable text. We now have OCR processing - Optical Character Recognition that converts images of text, into readable searchable text.
What we support now:
- scanned-in documents like books, articles, etc.
- computer-generated text
Still to come:
- handwritten notes
- pictures of text (because they have blur, skewness, etc. that we don't handle)
Pick up where you left off with reading position tracking:
Never lose your place when reading in Recall. Recall now automatically remembers your position in the Reader and Notebook and shows a button to jump back to where you left off. This will work on the notebook and your Reader, including PDFs. You will see a little blue dot in the bottom right corner of these tabs, which will enable you to jump back to your last spot.
Beautiful link previews when sharing a Recall card:
When you share a Recall card (clicking the share icon in the top right corner of a card) it will now generate a link preview that contains an image, title and description when shared on social media, WhatsApp, Discord, or other apps.
Bug Fixes & enhancements
- Chat page performance- Fixed lag and slowdowns when chatting with your knowledge base.
- Extension unexpectedly saving cards- The extension no longer creates cards when navigating within single-page apps.
- Auto-save for when adding Wiki cards- Wiki cards created from the in-app add card menu now save automatically, so you don't accidentally forget to click save.
- Preserved tag hierarchy in markdown export- When you export cards to markdown, nested tags are now properly included in the markdown frontmatter (e.g., parent/child instead of just child)
- Better messaging for unsupported content- When you try to save content from a site that isn't fully supported, you'll now see a helpful message explaining why and a link to install the browser extension if it can help on that website.
- C and C++ syntax highlighting- Code blocks in the notebook editor now properly highlight C and C++ code
- Higher resolution website icons- Saved websites now display sharper, clearer icons.
- Mobile sharing opening the incorrect app- Fixed the bug where sharing content with Recall would sometimes open the wrong application.
- Notebook formatting preserved- Regenerating connections no longer strips formatting from your notebook notes
- Improved Markdown imports- Importing markdown files with empty blockquotes no longer causes errors
- Invalid image paste crash- Pasting malformed or corrupted images into the editor no longer crashes the app
- Multi-lingual tag creation- Tags now correctly match the language of your content, fixing an issue where non-English tag names weren't being created properly
The 2026 Roadmap
Over the past year, Recall evolved from a content summarizer into a full knowledge base: summarization, note-taking, quizzing, read-it-later, and chat, all in one place.
In 2026, we're focused on making each of those experiences best-in-class, without becoming bloated. This isn't just a feature update. It's Recall becoming the tool that changes how you engage with what you consume, helping you move from passive consumption to active learning, and bringing back the joy of learning.
Here are the first few highlights, with all the details in our docs:
Bring back the joy of learning with Quiz 2.0
- More question types (open-ended, flashcards), the ability to quiz yourself on specific topics, and gamification with timed quizzes and streaks to keep you coming back.A smarter chat experience with Chat 2.0
- Ask questions across everything you've saved and get answers that actually make sense. Filter by time, topic, or source, and let Recall connect the dots for you. Plus custom saved prompts for the questions you ask often.Listen to your saved content on the go
- Turn your articles and saves into something you can listen to on your commute, at the gym, or wherever you go. This has been one of our most requested features, and we can't wait for you to try it.A better reading experience
- More content saves cleanly, and highlights let you mark up what matters and review it all in one place.There's also more coming:
- Find what you need faster with improved search
- Save from more sources
- Use Recall in more languages
- A reliably fast experience across the board
