Personal wiki · Spaced repetition
Notes you keep.
Cards you remember.
Write what you're learning. Link it like a wiki. Turn any line into a study card, and Recall brings it back exactly when you're about to forget it.
- Free
- No ads
- No AI writing your cards
Works on your phone. No app store, nothing to install — add it to your home screen, and it keeps working when your signal does not.
One loop, from reading to remembering
Most tools stop at notes. Most flashcard apps start at cards. Recall connects the two so nothing you write goes unused.
-
Capture
Quick notes in Markdown, tagged and searchable. Type
[[a title]]and it links — and shows up as a backlink on the other side. -
Turn it into cards
Recall reads the note and proposes the questions it is already carrying — or highlight any line and make a card from it yourself.
-
Review on schedule
Spaced repetition decides what's due. Answer well and a card waits days, then weeks; miss it and it comes back in ten minutes.
-
Keep the streak
A study session a day keeps the streak alive. XP and levels mark progress — never gates. Nothing to buy, nothing locked.
Built for how people actually study
Three of these are the reason Recall exists. The rest are the reasons it stays out of your way.
Cards without the typing
Open a note and Recall proposes question-and-answer pairs drawn from what you actually wrote. Keep the good ones, bin the rest — nothing is saved until you say so. Each card remembers the note it came from, and flags itself if that note changes later. It reads your writing, not a model's guess at it: no AI, works offline, and proposes the same list twice.
Notes that stay findable
Nested folders, or none at all — nothing is forced into one. Give a note a colour and an icon and a wall of them reads at a glance. Search reaches titles, text, tags and folder names at once, and Recall points out notes that look like duplicates.
Challenge someone
Cut a timed quiz from any set and send the link — no account needed to play it. Or send a duel: one person, one run each, and the loser gets the rematch.
And the rest of it
-
Watch it before you sign upNine narrated videos, two to seven minutes each, recorded from the app itself — Notes, card sets, studying, the games, the Library, challenges, your learning, studying offline and a tour of Settings. Captioned, split into chapters you can jump between, and all of them in the guide without an account.
-
Works with no signalReview your due cards on a jeepney, in a basement, on a plane — and read any note you have already opened. Your answers are kept and sent the moment the connection is back, scheduled from the time you answered rather than the time it arrived.
-
Finished with it? Put it awayArchive a note or a card set and it leaves your lists and your due counts without being deleted. Every card keeps its place in the schedule, so bringing it back carries on exactly where you left off.
-
A reminder at your hourPick the time you actually study and Recall nudges you then, on every device you have opened it on. Change it whenever, or turn it off — and it goes quiet by itself if you stop answering.
-
Seven question typesFlashcard, multiple choice, multiple answer, identification, true/false, fill-in-the-blank and matching — and typed answers forgive case, accents and punctuation.
-
Phone firstOne card at a time, big buttons where your thumb is. On a laptop the keyboard does the whole review: space shows the answer, a letter picks a choice, 1–3 grades it, enter moves on.
-
Seven ways to playHangman, Word Guesser, Speed Quiz, Memory Match, Pair Up, All That Apply and Survival, played with your own cards — and none of it touches your review schedule.
-
A shelf to start fromReady-made sets you can play straight away or copy into your own, with a fresh schedule. Nothing to write before you begin.
-
See what is stickingEvery card shows how well you know it, and one screen names your strongest and weakest subjects and the hours you actually study.
-
An exam on the calendarGive a set a date and Recall paces what will not hold until then — today's share, not the whole pile. It never rewrites your schedule to hit the date.
-
Share a link, keep controlAny note or card set gets a read-only link that needs no account to open, and arrives in a chat with its own title and picture. Revoke it and it is dead.
-
Nothing lost by accidentA deleted note goes to the trash for thirty days, with its pictures, links and cards still attached. Undo is on the screen the moment you delete.
-
Your data stays yoursNotes export as Markdown, card sets as CSV — and both read back in. Paste a spreadsheet's two columns and it becomes a card set.
Why the timing matters
Re-reading feels productive and mostly isn't. What moves something into long-term memory is retrieving it — pulling the answer out of your head — right around the moment it's fading.
Recall uses the SM-2 scheduling method: each card carries an ease score that rises when you get it right and drops when you don't. Intervals grow from a day, to six, to weeks. You only ever see what's due, so a set of five hundred cards is often ten minutes a day.
Start with one note.
