The technical memory beside your browser

Stop remembering syntax. Start remembering ideas.

DevRecall turns “I know this exists” into a copy-ready answer. Search curated references, keep a personal snippet library, analyze errors, learn repeated concepts, and extend solutions with Ollama—without leaving the current tab.

The recurring problem

You remember the concept. The exact syntax disappears.

DevRecall compresses the usual new-tab, search-engine, documentation, forum, adaptation, and return loop into one side-panel interaction.

Developers

Recall JavaScript, Python, Git, Regex, APIs, and DOM patterns.

Data professionals

Find Snowflake, SQL, Excel, Access, dynamic-array, and LAMBDA patterns by intent.

Automation engineers

Build selectors, inspect errors, and retain reliable extraction recipes.

Complete workflow

Reference, intelligence, and recall in one place.

Intent search

Search “latest customer record” instead of remembering ROW_NUMBER or QUALIFY. Titles, aliases, language shortcuts, tags, notes, and favorites influence ranking.

Personal knowledge

Save, edit, tag, favorite, folder, import, and export snippets alongside curated content.

AI

Extend with AI

Describe the gap. DevRecall supplies guarded context, preserves the language, isolates code, and rejects invalid output.

HT

Extraction workbench

Validate CSS or XPath, preview actual values locally, and generate defensive browser-console JavaScript.

!

Error memory

Use deterministic fixes first, with guarded Ollama fallback for unfamiliar errors.

Focused learning

Learn one language manually or drip cards automatically from every 15 minutes to weekly.

Code packs

Import optional JSON collections containing searchable references and learning cards.

Local and cloud Ollama

Discover models automatically. Cloud models are labeled and require consent for every request.

Context actions

Select page text to explain code, diagnose errors, or prefill a saved snippet.

How it works

From forgotten detail to reusable knowledge.

1

Ask by intent

Describe an outcome. Fast local knowledge is ranked before AI is considered.

2

Use the code-first answer

Copy immediately or inspect why it works, when to use it, and what to avoid.

3

Adapt only when needed

Extend, optimize, convert, generate examples or tests, or diagnose an error.

4

Keep the final result

Save it with folders, aliases, tags, and notes so it returns next time.

5

Turn repetition into learning

Repeated lookups feed focused recall without becoming another long course.

Content architecture

Core references plus portable packs.

Built in

Snowflake, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Regex, HTML, Git, and PowerShell.

Optional Microsoft packs

Excel Core, Access, Excel LAMBDA, and Excel Modern / Microsoft 365.

Your own packs

Portable manifests carry metadata, references, warnings, tags, and learning cards.

Security by design

Pasted content is data—not authority.

Code, HTML, errors, and retrieved text are wrapped in explicit untrusted-data boundaries. Embedded attempts to change roles, reveal prompts, request secrets, contact networks, execute commands, or weaken safeguards are denied.

Extractor output is rejected when it contains dynamic execution, networking, storage access, navigation, clicks, submissions, or DOM mutation. Pasted HTML is parsed inertly.

Cloud models require confirmation for every request. Cancel sends nothing. Curated search, snippets, learning, histories, and code packs remain local.

Purposefully different

Not another full IDE copilot.

Versus web search

Fewer tabs, concise answers, consistent formatting, and personal ranking.

Versus documentation

Search by problem and see practical patterns before exhaustive reference prose.

Versus general chat

Deterministic answers stay instant; AI is optional, validated, and reusable.

FAQ

Before installing

Does it require AI?

No. Search, references, snippets, packs, extraction previews, and learning work without AI.

Does it read every page?

No. Content enters DevRecall only after an explicit context-menu action or manual paste.

Are AI answers executed?

No. Output is displayed for review. The extractor preview only queries an inert pasted document.

Where is data stored?

In the Chrome extension profile unless the user explicitly invokes a cloud model.

How do I learn every control?

Use the interactive manual with guided, animated workflows.

Start locally

One shortcut away.

Install DevRecall, optionally connect Ollama, and press Ctrl+Shift+K whenever syntax disappears.
