Recall-It Notes3.13 - App Store

Recall-It Notes enables you to store thousands of snippets of information and quickly find what you need.

For example, you can store recipes, gift lists, notes made while watching how-to videos or reading articles, keep annotated lists of web links, track major purchases, maintain checklists for activities like upgrading to a new phone, save frequently used keyboard shortcuts for your favorite apps, and much more.

Recall-It is based on plain text, the most portable medium for your information. You can export your notes exactly as you entered or imported them so there is no lock-in as there can be with proprietary formats. Despite being plain text, your notes can include and display linked PDFs and images, e.g. photos or screenshots.

Recall-It includes comprehensive back-up: by default, your entire database is backed up daily to your iCloud account, and you can manually archive everything, or any subset of your notes, any time. You can completely rebuild your database from any of the full back-ups.

On iPad, drag and drop support lets you do things like create new notes by dragging text files from iCloud drive, drag images or selections from web pages, Apple Notes, email, iBooks, etc. and drop them to create new notes or append to existing ones. You can drag terms from the note you are looking at to the search field to find other possibly related notes. You can drag within the app to augment or copy notes, or drag a group of notes to iCloud drive to export them as text files.

Version History Bug fixes. 3.13 05/21/2023 This app is no longer being developed. Please see http://www.microspell.com/recall-it/faqs.html for more info. 3.12 05/03/2023 Photos attached to a note can now have a map overlay applied when viewed in the Recall-It image viewer. This can be useful to track your location on a map (image) that is more detailed than the standard Maps app.

Bug fixes, in particular, a bug that caused a crash when using the camera to add a photo to a note. 3.11.0 06/18/2019 Checkboxes within a note can now be toggled in Edit mode as well as when the note is being viewed.

The image viewer now hides/shows the navigation bar when the image is tapped.

The attributes view can now be toggled using the “info” (i) button to give additional space to the note view.

Fixed a bug which caused redundant auto-backups to be created, and another bug which sometimes prevented text at the end of a note from being edited unless the device was rotated to reset the keyboard inset. 3.10.2 05/14/2019 This version adds support for Siri Shortcuts in iOS 12. Also includes bug fixes and improvements. 3.91 09/15/2018 SIRI SUPPORT FOR SEARCH: You can now use Siri to find notes in Recall-It. Refer to the note “Search Tips for Power Users” for full details.

ADS REMOVED: The app no longer contains ads.

SHARE SHEET CAN NOW SET TAGS: When you create a new note from Safari or another app, you can now tag it with ore or more existing tags.

BUG FIXES: And other minor improvements. 3.8 08/31/2018 PDF ATTACHMENTS: Notes can now include PDF attachments enabling you to collect manuals, technical papers, infographics, etc. Any PDFs you drag-and-drop to an existing (or new) note will be copied to the Recall-It Attachments/ directory. Also, PDFs you are viewing in Safari can be copied by tapping “Copy to Recall-It” in the Action Sheet.

PDF VIEWER: Tapping any PDF attachment launches a PDF viewer with thumbnails, navigation, and full text search capability. If you search for phrases or multiple terms, “best” matches are shown first. You can also export any PDF attachment using the Action Sheet in the PDF viewer.

SEARCH RESULTS FILTERING: If you want to see only search results that contain (or do not contain) attachments, swipe left on an item in the list of results to reveal a command to hide items of that type (i.e. that contain/do not contain attachments).

ADDITIONAL COLORS FOR SEARCH TERMS: Search terms are now highlighted in context using additional colors. This makes it easier to visually locate a particular term when the search includes more than one.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR EXTERNAL (BLUETOOTH) KEYBOARDS: Hold down the Command key to see available keyboard shortcuts. 3.7 07/16/2018 THUMBNAILS IN NOTE SUMMARIES: Notes containing at least one image attachment now display a thumbnail image in the note summary.

ENHANCED ATTACHMENT CHECK: Settings > Advanced > Attachment Check not only finds orphan attachments, but now also lists missing attachments and deletes unused thumbnails and log files.

BUG FIXES: Fixed two bugs related to new note creation. One bug sometimes caused a crash when the auto-inserted Clipboard text was deleted from a new note. The other bug caused some or all of the contents of a new note to be replaced by an image (attachment) taken using the camera. 3.6 03/24/2018 IMAGE ATTACHMENTS: Images may now be embedded in notes. The Welcome note contains some basic information. More details can be found in the “How are attachments handled?” FAQ.

BACK-UPS: When you back up your notes, the optional description is no longer saved in a new note. Instead it is written to the back-up container so your descriptions persist even if you delete your notes.

TEXT FILE IMPORT: When importing text files to create new notes, you now have the option to automatically delete those files that are successfully imported. This lets you avoid the possibility of accidentally importing duplicates.

DRAG-AND-DROP EMAIL LINKS: On iPad, you can drag emails from your Inbox to create a new note with a message link back to the email.

MARKDOWN SYNTAX FOR HEADINGS: You can override the default method of rendering headings when viewing notes by adding at least one Markdown heading to any note. (For Recall-It, Markdown heading syntax consists of 1-6 #’s plus a space at the start of any heading, plus a blank line before and a blank line after. See the headings in this note.) You can disable this functionality via Settings > Advanced.

IMPROVEMENTS and bug fixes. 3.5 02/24/2018 1.0 10/14/2017
