Description

We have ended development of this app. Please see http://www.microspell.com/recall-it/faqs.html for more info.

Recall-It Notes enables you to store thousands of snippets of information and quickly find what you need.

For example, you can store recipes, gift lists, notes made while watching how-to videos or reading articles, keep annotated lists of web links, track major purchases, maintain checklists for activities like upgrading to a new phone, save frequently used keyboard shortcuts for your favorite apps, and much more.

Recall-It is based on plain text, the most portable medium for your information. You can export your notes exactly as you entered or imported them so there is no lock-in as there can be with proprietary formats. Despite being plain text, your notes can include and display linked PDFs and images, e.g. photos or screenshots.

Recall-It includes comprehensive back-up: by default, your entire database is backed up daily to your iCloud account, and you can manually archive everything, or any subset of your notes, any time. You can completely rebuild your database from any of the full back-ups.

On iPad, drag and drop support lets you do things like create new notes by dragging text files from iCloud drive, drag images or selections from web pages, Apple Notes, email, iBooks, etc. and drop them to create new notes or append to existing ones. You can drag terms from the note you are looking at to the search field to find other possibly related notes. You can drag within the app to augment or copy notes, or drag a group of notes to iCloud drive to export them as text files.

Great

Amazing! I was looking for a sort of ‘personal wikipedia’ which I found was called a personal database, and this is exactly what I was looking for! Keep up the great work, and I want to request adding text markup to the notes (bold, italic, underline, highlight, text color, etc.), and being able to resize images freely (drag the corners in edit mode or something). Thank you.

Strong search capabilities

This app is similar to Bear notes. However, the search capabilities are much better as you can search the text and tags separately and also perform and/or searches. The app allows for adding attachments to notes as well (currently image files).

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the review. Version 3.7 adds PDF attachments in addition to images and email links (drag and drop any email on a note to save a link).

Gets the Job Done

I was looking for an app for research notes. I looked at Notion, which is well-implemented but too rich for my purposes. Recall-It was right on point for me straightforward but with robust search capabilities.
