What is Recollect?

Recollect product thumbnail

Recollect is a cross platform bookmarking app that brings saves from X, Instagram, Chrome, Raindrop, and CSV files into one library. It indexes links, images, videos, and documents, generates AI summaries, runs OCR on screenshots, and tags items by people, objects, places, and colors. It runs on the web, iOS through TestFlight, and as a Chrome extension.

Why Recollect works

Most heavy bookmarkers end up with content scattered across X likes, Instagram saves, browser bookmarks, and a desktop screenshots folder, with no way to search across them. Recollect imports those sources, summarizes and tags each item automatically, and lets the user search by what is inside the image or document, so saved content actually gets retrieved instead of forgotten.

Recollect features

  • Cross platform import. Pulls bookmarks from X, Instagram, Raindrop, and CSV files in addition to native browser saves.
  • One click saving. Save links, images, videos, and documents from desktop or mobile with a single tap or extension click.
  • AI summaries. Generates summaries for links, images, screenshots, and documents so the user can scan a library without opening every item.
  • Screenshot OCR. Recognizes text inside screenshots so words inside images become searchable.
  • Auto tagging. Tags items by people, objects, places, and colors detected in the content.
  • Auto collections. Builds collections automatically using user defined rules so bookmarks organize themselves.

Who Recollect is for

  • Content researchers building inspiration libraries across X, Instagram, and the open web who want a single search across everything they save.
  • Product designers collecting UI and ad screenshots who want OCR to make text inside saved images searchable later.
  • Newsletter writers and creators who save articles, threads, and reels for future essays and need automatic summaries to triage what to read.
  • Solo entrepreneurs running competitive intelligence across LinkedIn, X, and product sites who want auto tagged collections per competitor.
