Installation
Choose a native installer, the @devkitvault/recall npm package, or the VS Code extension. The CLI vault is local-first — no account required to save and run commands. Sync and Ask need Pro.
Native builds are a single binary with no runtime. The npm CLI is a JavaScript build that requires Node.js 18+.
Install, then save locally (no login). Ask is Pro and only prints — it does not run commands. rec is the same binary as recall. Walkthrough: save and run commands locally.
npm install -g @devkitvault/recall
recall save "docker compose up -d" -n up -t docker
recall import history
