recall

What it does

Claude Code starts cold every session; this keeps a local log and condenses it into a resume-ready summary so you stop re-explaining the project. The summarisation is a classical Python routine rather than a model call, which is the point — persistent memory that costs nothing beyond the subscription you already have, with no key and nothing leaving the machine. Old sessions can contain secrets you typed, so look before sharing a summary. MIT.

recall FAQ

Is recall free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use recall?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does recall work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use recall commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.

How it compares

The conditions that decide whether you can actually use it, side by side.

"Sends data out" means your input is uploaded to someone's server. Pick "No" when the material cannot leave your organisation.
