Recall

Notes you keep. Cards you remember.

Get Recall on your phone

Recall installs straight from your browser — there is no app store, nothing to download, and no separate account. You get a Home Screen icon, a full screen without the browser's address bar, and a reminder that reaches you with the app closed.

Android Your device

In Chrome or Edge:

  1. Tap the ⋮ menu, top right.
  2. Choose Add to Home screen, or Install app.
  3. Confirm with Install.

Firefox and Samsung Internet can do this too — the menu item is Install or Add page to.

iPhone and iPad Your device

In Safari — this does not work in Chrome or Firefox:

  1. Tap Share — the square with an arrow out of it, at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Scroll the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
  3. Tap Add, top right.
  4. Open Recall from the new icon, and sign in once more.
You will sign in once more, and that is normal. Safari and the Home Screen app keep separate logins, so the app opens signed out the first time. Nothing has gone wrong and nothing is lost — your notes, cards and schedule live on the server, not in the browser.
On iPhone, reminders need this first. Apple only allows notifications from an app that has been added to the Home Screen. Until you do, the 7pm reminder cannot be switched on — open Recall from its new icon and turn it on there.

Windows, Mac and Linux Your device

In Chrome or Edge:

  1. Look for the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar — a screen with an arrow pointing into it.
  2. Or open the ⋮ menu and choose Install Recall, sometimes under Cast, save and share.

Safari on a Mac: File → Add to Dock. Firefox on the desktop cannot install web apps.

What changes once it is installed

  • It opens like an app. Its own icon, its own window, no address bar.
  • Reminders can reach you. On iPhone this is the only way; elsewhere it means the reminder arrives whether or not a tab is open.
  • It works with no signal. The cards due for you are kept on the phone, and answers you give offline are sent the moment you are back. How offline works →

Taking it off again

Press and hold the icon and remove it, the same as any other app. Nothing is deleted: your notes, cards and schedule live on the server, and the site keeps working in a normal browser tab exactly as it did before.
