Browser bookmarks store a URL and a title, and nothing else — which is why a folder of four hundred of them is unusable. Recall stores what the page was actually about: a summary, key takeaways, topics, entities and keywords, all searchable by description rather than by remembering the exact title.
The facts about Browser bookmarks
- A bookmark's only searchable text is its title and URL.
- Bookmark folders require a filing decision at save time, which is the decision people avoid.
- Bookmarks do not travel across your phone's apps — a reel cannot become a bookmark.
Why Flocci Recall is a real replacement
- No folder decision at save time; collections are optional and AI auto-categorisation can propose them later.
- Saves come from the phone share sheet, not just the address bar.
- Every item carries a summary and takeaways, so the library is triageable at a glance.
Questions people ask
Can I import my browser bookmarks?
There is no one-click bookmarks importer today. The capture endpoint accepts one URL per call, so a bulk import is scriptable with your capture key, but it is not a built-in feature yet.
Do I still need bookmarks?
For the handful of sites you open every day, yes — that is what a bookmarks bar is good at. Recall is for the hundreds of things you save once and need to find again months later.
