Release notes · semver · same text as the dashboard tab

What changed.

Every release in plain words — features, fixes, and anything that could affect your workflow. Breaking changes land only in major releases and are called out explicitly.

Changelog

What changed, in plain words. This file ships with the engine — the dashboard's Changelog tab and whatever-recall.com/changelog render exactly this text, so the tool and the site can never tell different stories.

Versioning follows semver: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Anything that could break your existing .mind/ index or your workflow lands only in a MAJOR release and is called out explicitly.

v1.0.0 — the launch release *(upcoming)*

The first public release — everything below ships on day one.

The engine

  • recall init . builds your project's memory locally: code map, decisions,

lessons, commits and tasks in one SQLite file inside your repo (.mind/). No cloud, no telemetry — delete the folder and it's gone.

  • Reading costs zero tokens. Recall answers from the index in milliseconds,

with three parallel tracks: the relevant *code* (ranked by importance), the *knowledge* behind it, and the *blast radius* — what breaks if you change it.

  • The memory keeps itself fresh. Git hooks stamp every commit; the watcher

re-indexes new commits on its own; drifted knowledge is flagged, never silently trusted.

  • Power Mode (optional): connect *your* AI (Claude Code CLI, Ollama, an

Anthropic key, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint) to enrich the index with semantic summaries. With a subscription CLI it costs nothing extra.

The dashboard

  • recall dashboard — the browsable wiki: Overview, Wiki (causal chains

down to the diff), Tasks, Git, Drift, Code (with the pre-edit briefing), Product tree, Search, and this Changelog. Live pulse, one design system.

  • Tasks police their own status. A task with every step ticked but still

marked open gets flagged — in the dashboard and as a one-line nudge on every commit — until you flip it to done. Your backlog can't quietly rot.

  • recall shortcut — a desktop launcher (with the recall icon) that starts

the dashboard with a double-click. No terminal, no AI needed.

The doors for your AI

  • MCP server (recall mcp) — recall, brief, explain, stamp, contested and

freshen as native tools in Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client.

  • CLI — recall "<question>", brief <file> (read before you edit),

explain (onboarding), review <commit>, contested, precommit-check.

  • rules.md — the transparent, downloadable contract that tells an AI agent

exactly how to use the memory. No hidden prompts.

Accounts & licensing

  • 14-day full trial, no card. Sign up with email or Google / GitHub /

Discord. Three paid tiers that differ only in seats: Solo · Team · Studio.

  • Offline license tokens (Ed25519): the tool verifies your license without

ever seeing your code — when a trial ends, reading your memory keeps working; stamping new knowledge needs a plan.

  • The full source stays public on GitHub (Business Source License 1.1) — read

every line that touches your repo before you run it. Noncommercial use is free; commercial production use needs a plan; and every version becomes Apache 2.0 open source three years after its release.
