Read anything.
Remember every word.

Recall is an AI-powered reading and language-learning app. Open a PDF — yours, or one of the 668 books in the built-in library — tap any word you don't know to get an instant flashcard written from that exact sentence, and never forget it again.

The gap

You are already reading enough.

The problem isn't finding new words—it's keeping them. You look up a word today and forget it by tomorrow. Recall captures the words you discover and locks them into your memory forever.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself.

01 · Read

Bring your own page

Open a PDF, pick a book from the built-in library, or paste a YouTube link into Listening Lab. Your files stay on your device—nothing is ever uploaded.

02 · Mark

Tap a word you don’t know

Recall reads the sentence around it and instantly builds a flashcard with the definition, grammar, and original context. One tap takes you back to the exact page it came from.

03 · Remember

Show up for a few minutes

The card joins your queue, and Recall figures out exactly when you need to see it again. No streak pressure, no badges—when your queue is clear, you're done for the day.

01Contextual explanation

Understand in context.

Stuck on a difficult phrase or idiom? Instead of handing you a generic dictionary definition, the AI explains exactly what it means based on the context of the sentence you're reading.

  • Context-aware explanations tailored to the current page.
  • Translate a phrase without leaving the reader.
  • Have the page read aloud while you follow along.

Turn memory into instinct.

A standard flashcard just asks if you recognise a word. Our drills challenge you in four different ways, transforming passive recall into active fluency.

  • Multiple choice — recognise it among near misses.
  • Matching — pair words with meanings against the clock.
  • Fill in the blank — put it back in its own sentence.
  • Speed round — answer before you can think.

03Built-in library

668 books, if you haven’t brought one.

Classic novels, short fiction and graded non-fiction — most of them narrated, with the transcript beside the audio. Every word you tap works exactly as it does in your own documents.

  • 668 titles, 578 of them narrated.
  • Filter by level, theme, length or audiobook.
  • Picks up where you left off, on any device.

The scheduler

It decides when. You just show up.

Recall uses a smart algorithm designed to lock new words into your long-term memory. Instead of reviewing everything every day, the app learns your pace. Words you struggle with come back often, while the ones you know get out of your way.

And the rest of the loop

Four more ways in — one queue.

Every surface feeds the same deck and the same review queue. Nothing you collect ends up in a separate app.

Read anything you want

Bring your own books, articles, or lecture notes. Tap any word you don't know, and it instantly becomes a flashcard linked to the exact sentence you were reading.

Listening Lab

Paste a YouTube link and the transcript loads beside the video. Click a word and the card remembers which video, and which line, it came from.

Add any word

A word you ran into with no page attached? Type it, pick a deck, and the definition, the examples and a visual cue are written for you.

Progress you can read

A daily activity heat map, your memory strength, and a clear forecast of your next reviews—calculated entirely on your device, even when you're offline.

Get Recall

Privacy, plainly

Your documents stay yours.

The file never leaves

PDFs are opened and parsed on your own device. Only the single word you tapped and the sentence around it are sent — and only to write the card.

Nothing is watching

No ads, no advertising identifiers, no third-party analytics. The privacy policy names which AI provider processes which piece of text, and why.

Leave with everything

Export every card you have made, or delete your account and every row of its data, from inside the app — no email, no waiting.

Questions

Before you start.

Is it free?
Yes — Recall is free to use, with no credit card and no ads. Sign in with Google or an email address and start reading.
Do I need my own PDFs?
No. The built-in library carries 668 books, 578 of them narrated — and Add Word turns any word you ran into somewhere else into a full card.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your decks, review queue and statistics live on the device and sync as soon as you are back online. Generating a new card needs a connection; reviewing does not.
I already use Anki. Why switch?
Same scheduling family, none of the card writing. Recall generates the card from the sentence you met the word in — and one tap on that card returns you to the page it came from.
Which platforms?
Any modern browser, on a laptop or a phone. The Android app and the Chrome / Edge extension are on the way.

Start with the book you already have open.

Free to use, offline-friendly, and everything you make stays exportable.
