# Recl

> Recl is a paid memory system for people who learn from long-form content. Save a YouTube video, podcast, Instagram reel, TikTok, X, Facebook or Reddit post, article, or note; Recl produces a structured AI summary with key takeaways (with timestamps for video) in your app's language, brings each save back for review after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days via mobile push and the web dashboard, and writes quizzes from what you saved. Everything lands in one library you can ask questions of (answers cite your saves), with a knowledge graph linking items by shared topics; the Chrome and Edge extension also searches your saved videos by meaning.

No free plan — every plan unlocks every feature. Paid plans: $9.00/month, $60.00/year.

## Features
- AI summaries of YouTube videos and playlists, articles and links, and social posts and reels (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook): a one-line overview, key points with timestamps for video, and a deeper read. Reddit posts are saved with their full text.
- Save from anywhere: the iPhone and Android share sheet, the Chrome and Edge extension, a pasted link on the web, or a post or reel sent to @reco.save in an Instagram DM.
- Spaced recall: each save comes back after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days; one tap marks it reviewed, and after the last step it graduates.
- Quizzes: each week Recl writes a quiz from what you saved and sends it as a notification; curated library videos have their own quizzes (in the iPhone, iPad and Android app).
- Ask Recl: questions answered from your own saves, with the sources it used.
- Search your saved videos by meaning in the Chrome and Edge extension's side panel.
- Topics that sort themselves, plus folders, highlights and private notes.
- A knowledge graph on the web, and your knowledge base as a 3D map in the app.
- A public profile with shelves of favourite books, films, quotes and music, if you want one.
- Community for Recl Pro members: a live, moderated chat with replies and @mentions, likes and comments in the Feed, and a Leaderboard.
- The app in 20 languages, with summaries written in yours; on iPhone, iPad, Android, the web, Chrome and Edge.
- Use your library from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other AI assistants through Recl's remote MCP server (https://app.recl.app/api/mcp, OAuth sign-in): search and open saves, see what's due for review, save links and ask questions about your saves.

## Writing
- [How Recl auto-sorts everything you save into topics](https://www.recl.app/blog/how-recl-auto-sorts-saves-into-topics): Save a video, a reel or an article and Recl files it under the topic it actually covers — no folders to choose, no tags to type. Here is how it works.
- [What a Recl summary actually looks like](https://www.recl.app/blog/what-a-recl-summary-looks-like): A one-line overview, key takeaways, timestamped sections and topics — the anatomy of a Recl summary and the quiz it feeds, shown with a real example.
- [How spaced recall makes what you save actually stick](https://www.recl.app/blog/spaced-recall-quizzes): Saving a summary is not remembering it. Recl brings each save's key ideas back on an expanding schedule — 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days — and quizzes you on what you saved.
- [Your knowledge graph: how your saves connect themselves by topic](https://www.recl.app/blog/knowledge-graph-connects-your-saves): A flat list hides the best part — how your ideas relate. Recl's knowledge graph links your saves by shared topics, and builds itself as you go.

- [Building a second brain from video, not just articles](https://www.recl.app/blog/second-brain-from-youtube): Most knowledge systems assume text you can highlight. What changes when the source is a three-hour podcast, and how to build one that survives it.
