Ever felt overwhelmed trying to keep track of all the interesting stuff you find online? That's exactly why we built Recally. It's a simple tool that helps you save and recall the content that matters to you, powered by AI to make it actually useful.
- One-click saving of articles and web pages (and they actually look good when saved!)
- Coming soon: PDF imports, YouTube videos, and podcast episodes
- Smart search that actually understands what you're looking for
We're not just throwing AI in because it's trendy. Recally uses AI to:
- Create quick summaries so you remember why you saved something
- Suggest tags that actually make sense
- Help you connect ideas across your saved content
- Let you chat with your documents (coming soon!)
- Self-host if you want to (yes, we actually made this easy)
- No sneaky tracking or data sharing
- Keep everything organized your way
Getting started with Recally is super easy:
Just start chatting with our RecallyReader Telegram bot:
- Send any link to save articles and web pages
- Get instant AI-powered summaries
- Access your saved content anywhere
Head over to recally.io to unlock the full potential:
- Beautiful reading interface
- Smart organization with AI-suggested tags
- Advanced search capabilities
- Free during beta, with new features added regularly
# Just three steps to get started:
git clone https://github.com/recally-io/recally
cd recally
# Set up your environment (we've added comments to make it clear)
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings
docker compose up -dThen just open http://localhost:1323 and you're good to go!
We've chosen our tech stack carefully to make Recally fast, reliable, and easy to maintain:
- Echo for the API (because Go is fast and Echo is simple)
- River for job processing (rock-solid queue management)
- ParadeDB (Postgres + search that actually works)
- React (you know it, you love it)
- Vite (because waiting for builds is no fun)
- TailwindCSS + shadcn/ui (beautiful UI without the bloat)
We use OpenAI (and compatible models) to make your content more useful through:
- Smart summaries
- Intelligent tagging
- Semantic search that understands context
We love contributions! Whether it's:
- Finding bugs
- Suggesting features
- Improving docs
- Adding code
Just jump in! Check our issues or start a PR. We're friendly, promise!
