Who we are
Cognitive support designed by the people who understand it
Recallify was founded by a clinical neuropsychologist and an AI engineer. It gives people living with cognitive differences practical, accessible tools to capture, organise and recall the information that matters to them.

How we started
Our story
Recallify began with a simple observation: millions of people living with cognitive difficulties lack accessible, modern tools to support them in daily life. Conditions affecting attention, memory and planning disrupt participation at work, in education and at home, and the technology available had not kept pace with the need.
Dr Sarah Rudebeck, a clinical neuropsychologist with fifteen years in the NHS and private practice, and Dr Berkan Sesen, an AI engineer and former academic in clinical decision support, co-founded Recallify to close that gap. The app draws on evidence-based approaches from cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, and is designed with the people who use it.
What began as an app for individuals has grown into a platform. The same tools are now licensed by universities, colleges and schools, by employers and occupational health providers, and by health services for the people they support, with onboarding and materials for the staff who issue them, while individuals still subscribe directly or through Access to Work. Recallify is being evaluated in an NIHR-funded feasibility study in acquired brain injury, and a classroom version for pupils with special educational needs is being built with an Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award.

How it is used
Three ways people use Recallify
People use Recallify differently depending on their goals and routines. Three patterns have emerged from our users, especially those living with ADHD, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions and everyday memory difficulties.
-
Everyday memory support
A reliable place to capture and revisit what matters: conversations, appointments, instructions and daily tasks, turned into clear summaries and reminders.
Memory support -
Task management and daily planning
For people who struggle with task initiation, organisation or follow-through: tasks extracted from what was said, automatic reminders and simple routines.
Task management -
Learning and study support
Lectures and readings summarised, revision prompts and quizzes built on active recall and spaced repetition, for students and adults returning to study.
Learning companion
We also offer free self-assessments, including the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 screeners used in clinical practice. They are screening questionnaires, not diagnoses.

Frequently asked questions
Who can benefit from Recallify's cognitive support tools?
Recallify supports people with acquired brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, mild cognitive impairment, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, long Covid, and anyone experiencing memory or planning difficulties.
Is Recallify designed for clinical or everyday use?
Both. Recallify is grounded in a clinical understanding of attention, memory and executive function, and built to be simple enough for everyday life: work, study, home routines and rehabilitation.
How does Recallify help with memory and planning?
It transcribes conversations, summarises long content, extracts tasks and creates reminders. This reduces cognitive load and supports memory, organisation and follow-through.
What makes Recallify different from general note-taking apps?
Recallify is purpose-built for cognitive support. It combines AI summaries, task detection, memory recall, quizzes and a searchable history, designed for people with neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions.
Was Recallify developed with clinical expertise?
Yes. Recallify was co-founded by Dr Sarah Rudebeck, a clinical neuropsychologist, and is developed with advisors in neuropsychology, educational psychology, cognition and rehabilitation. It is being evaluated in an NIHR-funded feasibility study in acquired brain injury.
Is Recallify suitable for older adults or people with mild cognitive impairment?
Yes. Recallify simplifies information, reduces cognitive fatigue and supports recall, which helps older adults and people with cognitive decline stay independent.
Does Recallify support neurodiverse learners?
Yes. It helps students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and autism by simplifying information, supporting working memory, and creating structure through tasks and reminders.
