The memory layer, documented

Everything you need to install, configure and integrate ROW Recall — the local-first, privacy-first memory layer for AI-native development.

What ROW Recall is

ROW Recall is a local-first version control layer built for the speed of AI. It watches your workspace at the OS kernel level, records every file change the moment it happens as an event on a single, append-only timeline, and lets you roll back anything at any time — in neither cases faster than you can commit.

Git was designed for human typing speeds: you commit, branch and merge by hand. AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and more) generate hundreds of file changes per minute. By the time you think about committing, the agent has already made dozens of changes you will never see again. Recall closes that gap.

# See exactly what an agent did recall log -n 20 # Undo an entire agent session (restore to before it started) recall restore <auto-checkpoint-event-id> # Roll back any file or the whole workspace, then undo the rollback recall restore <event_id> [file] recall undo recall redo

Because everything is stored as byte-level deltas in an encrypted local database (SQLCipher, AES-256), nothing is ever deleted and nothing leaves your machine unless you configure the optional team webhook.

Quickstart

Install the signed binary for your platform (see Installation for the full matrix), then:

# 1. Launch the desktop app and add a tracked folder, OR start the CLI watcher recall watch # 2. Verify the engine and active workspace recall where # 3. See what has changed since the last checkpoint recall status # 4. Create a labeled checkpoint ("save point") before risky work recall checkpoint -l "before refactor" # 5. Inspect the timeline, then restore anything recall log -n 10 recall restore 1243

Note: Recall has no recall init, recall timeline, recall restore --time, or .recall.toml configuration. The CLI operates on workspaces tracked by the engine — see the CLI Reference for the real command surface and the Concepts page for how events, checkpoints, branches and restore work.
