Save & recall, everywhere
Save an insight in Claude Code, recall it in Claude Desktop. Your knowledge belongs to you — not to the tool where it was created.

Live · active developmentYour memory
for every AI.
Every AI starts from scratch — your knowledge gets left behind. Bastra.Recall is the layer in between: an open-source memory layer that captures your insights, documents, and decisions and makes them available to every one of your AI assistants.

Features
One vault. Every assistant.
Recall is made up of a local daemon and a Markdown vault. Your AI tools connect via MCP — and share a single memory from then on.
Documents with OCR
PDFs, contracts, scans: Recall reads them in, makes them searchable, and finds them again — including amounts, dates, and contents.
Lessons & project knowledge
Architecture decisions, code lessons, project topology: Recall reminds your assistants of what you've already learned together.
Local & private
Your vault is Markdown files on your machine — Obsidian-compatible. No account, no cloud, no lock-in.
MCP, CLI, REST & Skill
One daemon, many ways in: MCP server for agents, CLI for the terminal, REST API for your own tools, Skill for Claude Code.
Open source (MIT)
Developed in the open, MIT-licensed, actively maintained. What we promise, you can verify in the code — and help shape it.
Integrations
Works in your tools.
Honestly labeled: we use Claude Code ourselves every day, Claude Desktop runs in beta. Other MCP clients should work but are still untested — ChatGPT is in progress.

openUse cases
For code — and for everything else.
Recall isn't limited to coding agents: it's a memory for your entire work — from the repo to the contract.
Coding & development
Stack conventions, auth setups, fixed bugs: explain them once — every session and every tool knows them afterward.
Knowledge work & research
Sources, insights, decisions with rationale. Recall holds on to what you've learned and delivers it at the right moment.
Personal memory
Appointments, documents, amounts, agreements: “Where is my…?” and “How much was…?” — your assistant answers from your vault.
Installed in five minutes.
Clone the repo, start the daemon, connect Claude — and from then on your AI remembers you. Free and open source.
