That thing you screenshotted three weeks ago? Found.
From capture to recall
Capture like always.
Recall handles the rest.
Capture like always
⌘ Shift 4. You’re done.
Point Recall at the folder where your Mac saves screenshots. No new habits, no manual imports.
Readable on Free
Every word becomes searchable.
Built-in OCR recognizes text in every new screenshot, so Free users can search exactly what was on screen.
AI descriptionsPro
Search what you remember.
Pro AI generates rich descriptions. Search the ideas and details — not just words on screen.
Your library, your way
One screenshot.
Every place it belongs.
Recall fills your library automatically from the folder you choose. It works directly with the real files in that folder. Create collections for projects, inspiration, research, or anything else—and add the same image to more than one without duplicating anything.
Privacy is not a setting
Honest about every byte.
Your screenshots live on your Mac. OCR, search, and your library never touch the internet. When you run a Pro AI analysis, that single screenshot is sent — encrypted, on your request, and only then — to OpenAI for analysis. Recall does not store your screenshots. OpenAI does not use customer API data to train its models. You always know exactly where your data goes, because we tell you.

Pro AI analysis · Only when you ask
What goes to AI
- → You start an analysis — that one screenshot is sent to OpenAI over an encrypted connection
- → Per request. Never in the background, never your whole library
- → Recall does not store the screenshot. OpenAI does not use customer API data to train its models (standard retention of up to 30 days for safety monitoring)
- → The results — descriptions and searchable metadata — are saved locally, on your Mac
