...::: Summary Add an image generation capability that lets users turn Recall content - at the card level or tag/collection level - into visual infographics, making knowledge more accessible to people who process information visually. ...::: The problem Recall is excellent at surfacing text - summaries, highlights, linked concepts - but everything stays in prose form. Many users think spatially and visually. A well-structured infographic of a tag cluster or a set of related cards would let someone grasp a body of knowledge in seconds rather than reading through dozens of entries. ...::: Proposed behaviour Trigger point: a button or context menu on any card, tag view, or collection — "Generate infographic" Scope options the user chooses from: ---Single card → key concepts and their relationships visualised --- Tag → all cards under that tag summarised into a thematic visual --- Multiple selected cards → cross-card synthesis Style presets (radio or dropdown), for example: --- Clean / minimal (white background, icon blocks, simple typography) --- Dark / bold (high contrast, suitable for presentations) --- Mind-map style (radial layout, connecting lines) --- Timeline / sequential (good for process or regulatory content) --- Comparison grid (good for side-by-side concepts) --- Colour palette options, e.g. load corporate palette Custom prompt field - lets the user override or extend the style preset with their own instructions (e.g. "make it look like a regulatory briefing document, EU colour palette, English only") Model suggestions: GPT 2.5, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Lite or similar :::... Additional ideas Export as PNG or SVG, with optional Recall watermark toggle dependent on Recall plan. "Regenerate" button with seed variation so users can iterate without re-entering settings Share link - the infographic gets a private URL users can copy to Notion, a slide deck, or a client briefing Template library - community-contributed style templates that users can install (like a theme marketplace) Accessibility: generate alt-text automatically alongside the image A couple of examples are attached (made with GPT 2.5 and Nano Banana).

there are many solutions that let you forward emails, and with me getting a bunch of newsletters it would be great to be able to just forward them to Recall

Really hope to annotate on pdf And show the notebook simultaneously left and right

...::: Summary Replace (or supplement) the current default view on launch with a configurable dashboard that gives users an at-a-glance overview of their knowledge base and actively resurfaces things they might otherwise never revisit. ...::: The problem Knowledge bases suffer from recency bias - users tend to interact only with whatever they added or searched for recently. Older content quietly becomes inaccessible, which defeats the purpose of building a second brain. A dashboard solves both the orientation problem (what's in here?) and the rediscovery problem (what have I forgotten?). ...::: Proposed default widgets (all toggleable, resizable) Knowledge base stats - total cards, tags, collections, and sources, with a sparkline showing growth over time. Recently added - the last 5–10 cards, with tag labels and a one-line preview. Recently visited tags - tags the user has opened in the last 7 or 30 days. Dormant tags - tags that haven't been opened in the longest time, to prompt rediscovery. Oldest cards - the first things ever saved, useful for seeing how thinking has evolved. Serendipity / Unexpected connections - see below. Today's random card - one card surfaced at random each day, a card-of-the-day feature. On this day - a list of cards added on this day over the years Knowledge gaps - tags or clusters with very few cards, suggesting where more research would be valuable. ...::: Serendipity / Unexpected connections widget - this includes everything in this FR: https://feedback.recall.it/feature-requests/p/serendipity-insights-on-load The concept: an AI-powered widget that periodically analyses the knowledge base and surfaces connections the user has never explicitly made - two cards or clusters that share themes, tensions, or implications that aren't obvious from the tags alone. Examples of what it might surface: "Your notes on DORA incident timelines and your notes on GDPR breach notification both deal with 72-hour windows - but they've never been linked" "Three cards tagged [AI regulation] and two tagged [employment law] share common ground around automated decision-making" This runs as a background process (daily or weekly, user-configurable) and lands results in the widget as a feed of insight cards the user can dismiss, save, or use to create explicit links. ...::: Customisation Drag-and-drop layout (grid system) Add/remove widgets from a widget library Widget-level refresh rate settings Light / dark / system theme for dashboard independent of the rest of the app Pinned searches or saved filters displayed as quick-launch tiles "Focus mode" - strips the dashboard to just two or three chosen widgets for distraction-free review sessions ...::: Additional ideas Weekly digest email generated from the dashboard - a Substack-style summary of what was added, what was dormant, and this week's serendipity finding Dashboard as homepage option vs. keeping it as a secondary view (both should be possible) Mobile-first widget designs - the dashboard should be genuinely useful on a phone, not just a desktop feature

Right now there are two built-in AI processing prompts: concise summaries and detailed summaries. We should be able to create additional, custom prompts that are clickable like the built-in ones.

It would be great to have a desktop app so we don't always run Recall in the browser.

I would like to see a columned layout option in the notebook editor. Having the ability to place images next to text would make it much easier to create visually appealing notes and keep related content grouped together without excessive scrolling.

Honestly, the auto tag feature kind of lacks, to be generous. For example I can take a video with a persons name in the title or the channel name has a tag created but the auto tag will only give one tag “health,” “business,” etc. There could easily be 5 additional tags already created that would go with the title alone, not to mention, connections which have tags. As a sort of paraphrased example “Recipes,” “GordonRamsay,” “HowTo,” “PastaSauce.” Whatever. The singular auto tag is “Health.”It could even give “suggested tags” but instead I have to wait forever to process then tag it. Really, if it’s only giving 1 auto tag, why give any? It usually doesn’t even pick the most logical tag. And why can’t we set a default tags for every that comes in like a Zettelkasten type system where I want to tag all “ToProcess” or “ToBeCategorized” and once a week sit down to review and do whatever with them.

Being able to add a small profile icon/logo/favicon/picture

Deleted cards should be given a Trash tag and auto-deleted after, say 7 days. Currently there is no way to recover an accidentally deleted card.
