Email to Tasks in Seconds
Stop losing action items in your inbox. Paste any email and Recal extracts every task, request, and follow-up — with owners and deadlines automatically identified.
Your Inbox Is a Task Graveyard
Email is where tasks go to be forgotten. Sound familiar?
Tasks buried in email
Important requests get lost in long email threads and overflowing inboxes.
Forgotten follow-ups
You meant to respond or act on that email... but then it disappeared from view.
Scattered requests
Action items spread across dozens of emails with no central tracking.
Recal solves this. Extract tasks from any email in seconds.
How It Works
Turn emails into tasks in three simple steps.
Paste Your Email
Copy any email (or email thread) and paste it into Recal. That's it.
AI Extracts Tasks
Our AI identifies all action items, requests, deadlines, and owners instantly.
Track & Export
Review the extracted tasks, then export to your task manager or save in Recal.
