...::: 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

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.

have a notebook that can be opened alongside the video summary. I know there is already a notebook for each individual video, but what I would personally find even more useful is one general notebook where I could add notes from different videos and keep it open next to the video summaries.

Recall does this sometimes, but it is not consistent and in my experience does not happen most of the time. It would be nice if this happened consistently so that every video that is saved automatically has a "YouTube | [Channel Name]" as one of the tags.

Currently, Recall automatically tags new content, but there is no way to retroactively update existing cards when new tags are created or when the tag structure changes. This leads to an inconsistent knowledge base where older cards miss out on newer, more relevant tags. I am proposing a "Tag Audit" feature (or a dedicated button) that would: Scan existing cards to apply newly created tags where relevant. Suggest global reorganizations to merge duplicates or fix "messy" hierarchies. Apply multiple relevant tags instead of just one, ensuring cards are correctly cross-referenced. This would ensure the knowledge base stays organized and up-to-date as the user's tagging system evolves over time.

In the home screen, it would be nice if you could sort by folders or tags so that you can go into a folder such as productivity and find all your summary notes from different sources. It would look a lot cleaner than having rows of YouTube videos that you summarize.

Please add toggle heading 1,2,3,4 because usually i have lots of text in one page and it is easier to read if i can just toggle it. Currently, i can’t even put a toggle docs inside a toggle docs to create hierarchy

Enable users to organize their Recall experience into separate work and personal spaces, with the ability to create collaborative shared workspaces for teams and groups. The Problem Currently, all Recall cards exist in one space, making it difficult to: Keep work and personal information separate Share relevant cards with teammates or collaborators Collaborate on shared knowledge without cluttering individual spaces Proposed Solution Phase 1: Personal Workspace Separation Work Space: Professional cards, meeting notes, project information Personal Space: Personal interests, recipes, travel plans, etc. Easy switching between spaces with visual indicators Phase 2: Collaborative Shared Workspaces Shared card collections: Create workspaces that multiple people can access Real-time collaboration: Team members can view, edit, and add cards together Flexible permissions: Control who can view, edit, or manage each workspace We'd love your input on: How would you want to switch between workspaces? What permissions would be most important to you? How do you envision discovering and joining shared workspaces? What other collaboration features would enhance this?

Establish a confidentiality label so that cards that hold it are not displayed directly on the panel. This is useful for cases where I may want to have information that if I am working and my screen is visible to others, those cards are not visible

Set a default tag to all newly imported cards. Example, I have a TBR tag, since I am using recall as a read it later. so I want to easily tag all new content as TBR and I will later remove that tag. Another option might be to just have "unread" and read. But allowing me to set a tag for all newly added cards would do the trick for me.
