Recall can be installed on Ubuntu via Homebrew by running `brew install zippoxer/tap/recall` or using Cargo with `cargo install --git https://github.com/zippoxer/recall`. Binary downloads are also available from the Releases page.

Question 2

Recall vs. searching in Claude's web interface: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Recall offers faster, keyboard-driven search directly from the terminal with full-text indexing, while Claude's web interface may require manual navigation. Recall also supports multiple AI agents, making it more versatile for mixed workflows.

Question 3

Can recall work with ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

No, recall currently only supports Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and Factory. For ChatGPT, you would need to use other tools or wait for potential future integrations.

Question 4

How to customize resume commands for Codex in recall?

Accepted Answer

Customize by setting the RECALL_CODEX_CMD environment variable in your shell configuration file. For example, add `export RECALL_CODEX_CMD="codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox resume {id}"` to your .bashrc or .zshrc, as shown in the README.

Question 5

Does recall store conversation data locally or in the cloud?

Accepted Answer

Recall works entirely locally by indexing conversation data stored on your machine. It does not transmit data to external servers, ensuring privacy but limiting access to conversations not saved locally.

Question 6

How to use recall with multiple AI agents at once?

Accepted Answer

Recall supports multiple agents out of the box; you can search across all supported AI tools simultaneously. Configure resume commands for each agent using environment variables to switch between them seamlessly.
