Fuzzy + semantic search
Type a literal phrase or describe what you mean. Recall ranks every clip by both keyword and intent — local embeddings, no cloud round-trip required.

Recall — Quick Palette
What's inside
Built for the way you actually copy.
Six core ideas. Each one polished until the keyboard feels invisible.
Native image clips
Screenshots, copied images, designs — Recall captures them, compresses to PNG, and lets you paste back to any app like the most recent copy.
Smart auto-labels
Optional AI labels turn 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet' into 'Latin filler text'. Labels are searchable and editable — and never sent to the cloud unless you opt in.
Categorized automatically
URLs, code, hex colors, paths, emails, phone numbers, addresses — Recall sorts each clip on the way in. Filter the library by category in one click.
Local-first, private
Everything sits in a SQLite file on your machine. No telemetry. No accounts. Bring your own key for the optional AI features, or skip them entirely.
Keyboard-driven
Global hotkey opens the palette over any app. Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to paste, ⌘P to pin, ⌘⌫ to delete. Tab toggles fuzzy / semantic.
A look around
Two surfaces. One mental model.
Reach for the palette mid-flow. Open the library when you want to organize, label, and dig.
Quick palette
Global hotkey opens a Spotlight-style palette over any app. Arrow keys, type-to-filter, Enter to paste.
Full library
Browse, filter, edit labels, and pin clips. Time grouping, category sidebar, and a preview pane on the side.
