Reader Mode
Sankari Nair
We are looking to have a better reader-mode to support the usecase of Recall as a read-it-later app. Please pop your must have Reader Mode requests here.

I’m unable to zoom into a textbook pdf in reader mode on the app and desktop making it nearly impossible to read the text. It does work on iPhone mobile safari though. Could you please add zoom to the reader for PDFs in the app and desktop? It would also be nice to be able to highlight the PDFs.

Read / unread status for source material

I often run into interesting sources when I have no time to read. Adding them to recall saves them for later consumption, but there is currently no way to distinguish between material I've already consumed and material I still have to check out.

I would be amazing to allow users to grow or shrink the fonts across the app to improve readability and user experience.

Read Status + Archiving Mechanism
N
Nigel .
Mark items as “read” and auto-move them to an archive so the main feed stays focused only on unread or active content, while still retaining full access for AI chat and search.
Implementation Suggestions:
Tri-State Read System:
Unread (default)
In Progress (optional, time-based or manual)
Read (auto or manual mark)
Auto-Archive Toggle: When an item is marked “Read,” have an optional setting to auto-archive it.
Archived Tab / Smart Folder:
Maintain a full index of archived items accessible via search or filters.
AI still uses archived content as part of its contextual database unless manually excluded.
AI Smart Recall:
When chatting, users can toggle whether archived items should be included in the AI’s memory pool.
This prevents feed clutter while maintaining long-term cognitive utility—critical for your workflow where past insights may be relevant to future synthesis.

Zoom in on PDF in iPad

It would be great to click on the pdf and be able to have it come up to the whole screen and even zoom in if needed

I hear you! Will add this to our reader mode request.

Play Toutube video in the reader and have live highlighting following the text in the transcript as video plays. Or at least have the ability to jump into the time in the video by selecting a part of the transcript.

I’d love to see an option to view YouTube transcripts with line breaks. Right now, they show up as big blocks of text, which makes them harder to skim or read quickly. A simple toggle to add line breaks—starting with each timestamped line—would make a huge difference for readability, especially in longer videos. Thanks!

Ability to use larger text, different fonts, larger spacing and read aloud features like Readwise Reader.

I'm currently testing Lazy.so, which has this capability, and I find it more annoying than useful. While the option to utilize a "Done" state would be cool, I view contents within Recall as an archive of information that I am saving to recall & manipulate it as I need it. In this scenario, it would never be done.
