How it works

Three steps. Infinite recall.

01

Save

Paste a YouTube URL, click the extension button, or import a full playlist in one shot.

02

Summarize

AI extracts the one-liner, key takeaways, timestamps, and topics — structured and searchable.

03

Recall

Daily Telegram nudges with spaced repetition. Rate recall 1-5, algorithm adapts.

Features

Built for serious learners.

Telegram Nudges

Daily spaced-repetition messages. Rate your recall 1-5 — the algorithm adjusts the schedule so nothing fades.

Spaced Repetition

Day 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 — scientifically-timed reinforcement adapted to how well you actually remember.

Knowledge Nuggets

Save terms, quotes, and articles. AI enriches each into a studyable card with spaced-repetition recall via Telegram.

Comparison

Why Recl, not the others.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes — as long as it has captions, auto-generated or manual. If YouTube serves a transcript, Recl can summarize it. No captions, no summary.

We hit the YouTube Transcript API first, then fall back to an Innertube client. Non-English videos are supported — we detect the language and summarize in English (or the original, on Ultra).

Yes, on Pro and Ultra. Public and unlisted playlists work out of the box; private playlists work after a one-time Google OAuth consent so we can read your list for you.

Spaced repetition on days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 after you save a video. Each nudge asks you to rate recall 1–5, and the algorithm adapts the next interval per video. It's a loop, not a dump.

Your transcripts and summaries are yours. We never sell them. Google sign-in is used only to authenticate you and, if you opt in, read playlists — not your watch history, not your search history.

Yes. Markdown, Notion, and Obsidian exports on Pro. PDF and CSV added on Ultra. Your knowledge, portable by default.
