Recall is designed to keep your memories under your control.

Overview

Recall helps you remember where you put physical items. The app is local-first: your memories and photos are stored on your device. Recall does not operate a backend service that collects, stores, or reads your personal memory data.

Information You Add

You may add photos, item descriptions, locations, notes, tags, and related memory metadata. This information is stored locally inside the app sandbox on your device.

Photos and Camera

Recall asks for camera or photo library access only so you can capture or choose item photos. Photos remain on your device unless you choose to export, share, or send them to an AI provider through your own API key.

Voice Input

Recall uses Apple speech recognition to turn spoken locations and search questions into text. Speech recognition availability and processing may depend on Apple’s system services and your device settings.

Optional AI Providers

AI features are optional and require your own API key. If you enable AI, Recall sends the minimum content needed for the selected task directly from your device to the provider you choose. Recall does not proxy those requests through a Recall server.

API Keys

Provider API keys are stored in iOS Keychain. They are not stored in UserDefaults, SwiftData, or a Recall server.

Backups and Export

Recall can create a portable backup file at your request. You control where that file is saved or shared. Backup files may contain photos and memory metadata, so treat them as private.
