What Recall fixes

Stop re-explaining your project to Claude every morning.

Pain 1

Context amnesia

Pipe past sessions into Claude with recall context. New conversations start where the last one ended.

Pain 2

Cost anxiety

The stats pill on every transcript shows tokens, dollars, and the primary model. recall stats rolls them up.

Pain 3

Org sprawl

Full-text and semantic search across every session. Tags, collections, aliases, Cmd+K jump.

60-second quickstart

  1. Start the daemon

    recall start

    Watches ~/.claude/projects/ in the background. Run once, it keeps running.

    CLI

  2. Open the UI

    recall open

    Auto-starts the daemon if it is not running.

    Web

  3. Find a session

    Browse projects, type any word in the search bar, or hit Cmd+K to fuzzy-jump to recent.

    Web

  4. Check the cost

    The stats pill shows tokens, dollars, and primary model. Top bar Stats opens the dashboard.

    Web

  5. Name the ones that matter

    Click "Click to name this session" in any transcript header. Aliases archive forever.

    Web

  6. Pipe a past session into a new Claude run

    recall context abc12345 | claude

    The killer move. New session starts with full context preloaded.

    CLI

Quickstart

Three commands you'll use daily:

bash
recall start                       # daemon (one time)
recall open                        # web UI
recall context <id> | claude       # the moat

The third is the killer feature: a past session comes back as condensed markdown, context preloaded, no copy/paste. It writes plain text to stdout, so | pbcopy puts the same bundle on your clipboard for any agent you would rather paste it into.

#Both agents, zero configuration

Claude Code and Codex are indexed the same way from the moment you install. There is no source to switch on and no path to point at. Codex rows carry a Codex badge, their tokens are priced from OpenAI list rates, and they turn up in the same search, the same threads and the same stats.

bash
recall list                        # every session, both agents
recall list --source codex         # claude-code | codex | all
recall codex status                # is it on, where is the Codex home, how many rollouts

#Add intent with --prelude

bash
recall context abc12345 \
  --prelude "continue from where we left off, finish the migration" \
  | claude

Without a prelude the agent summarizes the transcript instead of continuing the work.
