You'll likely forget 90% of the content you consume within a week. Recall summarizes online content, connects it in a knowledge graph and resurfaces it on a schedule tailored to your learning curve, helping you remember the information you care about.
Hi PH community! I’m Paul, co-founder and CEO of Recall. I am an avid content consumer and note-taker who cares deeply about the knowledge I accumulate throughout my lifetime. In fact, I view my knowledge as one of my most precious resources.
Despite trying every trending knowledge management tool out there, I consistently found myself spending more time meticulously crafting and categorizing my notes, only to forget about them when I needed them most.
Having a background in knowledge graphs, I thought wouldn’t it be awesome if all my notes and the content I consumed was organized into a knowledge graph - resurfacing past content when new related content came up and helping me discover connections that I otherwise would have missed.
When my frustration reached an all-time peak, I decided to take matters into my own hands and built my own tool. Recall started off as a side-project that I built for myself. I posted about it on Hacker News nearly two years ago and that was where the whirlwind began. My post trended on HN for over 13 hours, we received funding in less than 24 hours and I quit my job to go all in.
That brings us to today! Together with my founding team— Igor and Sanks—we’re on a mission to bring order to content chaos, add intention to the content we consume, and ultimately bring back the joy of learning. The Recall Review is a baby step in our rich product vision.
Check it out, and please share your candid feedback.
