thanks @zippoxer for sharing this! looks like a very cool project - could you help me understand if there is a unique value-add or differentiator for this library from other cross-session memory libraries already listed, e.g. claudex is one that comes to mind, "context priming", there are some resources that seem to overlap and i try to avoid duplication of functionality even for two awesome resources. much appreciated. /request-changes see comment - help clarify unique value prop?

hey @hesreallyhim, makes sense :)

the idea of recall is to let you search your sessions without getting you out of the terminal (which claudex does)

think of it as a replacement for claude --resume and codex resume commands, which do not really let you search content!

see this claude --resume search for example:

makes no sense! i have dozens of conversations about "disconnect" 🥲

here's the flow with recall:

i have tried claudex and Agent Sessions before building this, but both take me out me out of my terminal and truly breaking my flow, so i had to build recall 😌

edit: oops, i was supposed to edit description not write a comment 😅
