Save from anywhere. Find it again.
Recalo is a free app that keeps the recipes, places, books and movies you save from other apps in one organized, searchable place. Tap a section for the details.
Save from anywhere
Tap share in the app you're in and choose Recalo. It reads the post and saves what's in it.
- Social posts. Instagram reels and posts, TikTok, YouTube videos, Shorts and posts, Facebook and Reddit. Recalo reads the caption, what's said and the top comments. How to save from each app.
- Maps and movie links. Google Maps and Apple Maps links become places. Yelp links do too, in the iPhone and iPad app. IMDb and TMDB links become movies and shows.

- AI chats. ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Mode share links usually come straight in, in the iPhone and iPad app. Save a Google AI Overview.
- Anything else. A link to any web page, photos and screenshots (up to 5 at once), the camera, your voice, or just type it.
- Shortcuts. A Home Screen widget opens a quick note. On a computer, paste a link into the web app.
- From inside your AI. Save straight from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Muse. Connect your AI.
