01 Capture
Sees the shape of your work
The tab you stayed on, the file you edited, the message that pulled you out. Quiet, in the background.
The mechanism
Four quiet moves, start to finish.
02 Group
Open things become one thread
Fragments cluster into a single named session. The thread already has a title when you come back.
03 Notice
Remembers where you stopped
Lunch, a Slack reply, a quick errand. Recall keeps the thread until you are ready.
04 Return
One tap to where you actually were
Not a list of recent apps. The file, the actual context.

A morning of fragments. Nothing is the work.
Sam is mid-bug. A few tabs open. A Slack ping. A Linear card behind the editor. Nothing wrong with any of it, but nothing of it is the work.
The fix is small. Finding it again is the hard part.
I do not lose flow. I lose the path back.
RecallGroups the morning into a single named thread. The thread waits, quietly, while Sam keeps moving.
Anatomy of a session
From forty open things to one named thread.
Recall runs four loops at once. Each one feeds the next. None of it asks for your time.

What survives capture
- App and document title, when meaningful
- Time you actually spent attending, not flickers
- Patterns of switching, not single keystrokes
- Your corrections to a session label
What gets dropped
- Anything during a paused session
- Banking, medical, and other sensitive surfaces
- DM and email body content
- Tabs you bounced past in under three seconds
How Recall works
Recall brings you back in one tap, not forty clicks.
01Capture
Context, without the noise.
Quiet snapshots of what's on your screen. Recall filters out the noise immediately. Only meaningful activity survives.

Fragments become a session.
Forty-three apps and tabs reframe themselves into one human-readable thread: "Hero copy edits, Recall homepage."

It feels the drift before you do.
When the thread starts to fray, through lunch, a Slack rabbit hole, or a long Wikipedia detour, Recall holds your place quietly until you're back.
Drift · 14m04Return
One step back to where you were.
A context card with the real work: the file, the tab, the doc, the thought you left mid-sentence. One tap. You're back exactly where you stopped.
