And, as CEO Jordan Ritter makes clear, everyone needs a better memory. The average worker, Ritter states, wastes 20 percent of their time searching through old emails and calendar invites — a number that constitutes one day out of each work week. For its efforts to address this issue, Atlas Recall has raised $20.7 million from a collection of investors including Microsoft, Nathan Myhrvold and Aspect Ventures.
How It Works
Atlas Recall takes secure notes on everything you do across all your devices. But don’t worry: You can tell it which applications to keep track of and which to ignore. One example Ritter provides: “I tell Recall to index all of my Slack messages, but I don’t need it to record what I’m watching on Netflix.” The product isn’t designed to add yet another “extra layer” to the wide variety of productivity tools available already, the company’s CEO says: Atlas Recall is now available for Mac users, with an iPhone companion app, on the Atlas Informatics website. A Windows 10 version is in the works. Image: Atlas Informatics
