A searchable memory of what you have seen, built entirely on-device. Ask for “that pricing doc from three weeks ago” behind a global hotkey.
What it does
Your clipboard, app switches, and a capture of the frontmost window when you switch to it. Never continuous video recording — that is an explicit non-goal.
A Spotlight-style overlay on ⌥Space, in ordinary language. Text, category and time are read out of the capture by the on-device language model and matched with contextual embeddings.
Entirely on the Neural Engine and CPU of your own Mac. Nothing is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to be sent to.
No cloud sync, no account, no Intel Macs. Screen Recording permission is requested on first launch and used for foreground windows only.
The claim, and the proof
Recall ships with no network entitlement at all. That is not a policy in a document you have to trust — it is a property of the signed application, and anyone can verify it. An app that cannot open a socket cannot upload your screen.
