TotalRecall№ 001
§ 00 · Preamble

Memory you can
see.

You explain yourself to every AI, over and over, and none of them remember. TotalRecall keeps your context in one place you own. Start a project on Claude, finish it on ChatGPT — they both know what you decided. Grant access with a drag. Take it back the same way.

§ 01 · The problem

Your context is trapped, and nobody has to fix it but you.

Portable memory is bad for retention, so no incumbent will build it. Which leaves three problems you live with every day.

§ 02 · How it works

Three steps. Nothing to install.

TotalRecall runs as a memory layer your assistants connect to through their own connector settings. Everything sits on your board, and you decide who sees what.

§ 03 · Onboarding

Start where you left off.

Your history doesn't have to stay in the tools that trapped it. Upload your official ChatGPT or Claude export archive and TotalRecall reads it — pulls out the facts you shared, the decisions you made, the preferences you kept restating — and drops them into your inbox as candidate cards, grouped by where they came from.

Nothing goes live until you accept it. Nothing is shared with any assistant until you grant a space. Your board doesn't start empty; it starts familiar.

§ 04 · The receipt

Every read. Every write. Receipted.

Ownership without a paper trail is a claim. This is the paper trail: which assistant read which cards, which assistant wrote what, when. You see all of it — and you can't quietly overwrite it, because you can't delete the log yourself. That's the point.

§ 05 · The board

Move it. Rewrite it. Mark it private.

Every fact, decision, or preference is a card. Cards sit in spaces — one per project. Move a card. Rewrite it. Delete it. Mark it private and no assistant will ever see it — not even the one that wrote it.

Each card carries its origin — typed by you, from your ChatGPT export, written by Claude. You never wonder how something got in.

§ 06 · Privacy

This product is about your data. So we treat it that way.

§ 07 · FAQ

Does this read my conversations?

No. Assistants send us only what they deliberately save, and what they ask when searching. We never see the conversation itself, unless you choose to import a chat export.

Which assistants work today?

Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code, plus Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI. Anything that supports remote MCP connectors can connect.

Is the memory engine open source?

Yes. Pulling memories out of imported chats is handled by atomir, an MIT-licensed engine you can inspect, fork, or self-host. TotalRecall is the permission surface — the board, the grants, and the receipt — layered on top of it.

Do I have to install anything?

No. It connects through the assistants' own connector settings. No extension, no desktop app.

What if I stop using it?

Revoke every assistant from your board, then email us and we delete your account and everything in it. Details in the privacy policy.

Is my memory used to train models?

No.
