Keep the commands
you keep losing.

Free: save and run commands on this machine — no account. Pro: sync across machines and Ask in English (prints only — you still paste it).

install recall →save & run locally

recall — zsh

~ recall save "docker compose up -d" -n up

Saved locally as "up"

~ recall run up

$ docker compose up -d

# Pro: recall "that docker command" — Ask prints only

// ask · pro

It shows you the command.
You decide whether to run it.

After you save locally (Free), Pro Ask prints a suggestion from your vault, this repo's scripts, or the agent — never runs it.

rec "that docker command from last week" prints docker compose from the vault. Ask does not run it.

01
rec "start the project"
Ask reads the local dev script and prints it. You run it.

02
rec "start postgres and run migrations"
A playbook with both steps. recall playbook run is what actually executes.
playbook
03
rec "free the process using port 3000"
CAUTION. Ask prints the kill. You confirm the PID before you paste it.
recall agent
04
rec "that docker command from last week"
That's one you saved. Same line on any machine.

The other three recordings →

// why recall

Save it once.
Run by name. Ask on Pro.

Free keeps named commands on this machine. Pro syncs and Ask only prints — recall run is what executes.

local first (Free)

Save and run from ~/.recall on this machine. No account required.

Ask only prints (Pro)

You copy or save what it shows. recall run is what actually executes a saved command.

sync when you need it (Pro)

Why save commands at all?

The useful ones aren't in man pages — they're the docker compose from last Tuesday. Name it, save it, ask for it next time instead of scrolling history.

Will Ask run anything?

No. It prints the command, a risk tag, and where it came from. You copy or save. Only recall run and recall playbook run execute something you already saved.

What does it know about my project?

Script names: Makefile targets, npm scripts, Docker Compose. It doesn't open .env, env sets, or your source. If nothing in the vault or repo fits, the recall agent can suggest a line.

Same account on every machine?

Free needs no account — your vault stays in ~/.recall on that machine. Pro/Team login syncs the same vault across CLI, website, and VS Code. Ask is Pro/Team only (CLI), and it still only prints.
