The record

What it does: Recast uses Claude AI to turn PDFs, article URLs, text, or topics into platform-ready content.
Content formats: It offers nine formats, including social posts, video scripts, newsletters, blog outlines, takeaways, and hooks.
Study Mode: Study Mode creates study guides, slide decks, flashcards, quizzes, and citations from course material.
Customization: Users can choose a tone and reading level, and the Free Beta includes Brand Voice and translation into 10 languages.
Integrations: Flashcards can be exported for Anki and Quizlet, and the planned Pro tier lists Notion export.
API costs: The Free Beta requires an Anthropic API key, and users pay Anthropic directly for usage, typically $0.05–$0.30 per generation depending on length.
Privacy: The site says Recast does not collect personal data and that API keys and generation history stay in browser storage on the user's device.
Content handling: User inputs are sent from the browser directly to Anthropic's API, and Recast says it does not see, store, or process that content.
URL fetching: For URL input, page content is fetched through the public CORS proxy allorigins.win, and Recast says it does not store data from those requests.
Mobile access: Recast is described as responsive and accessible on mobile and tablet, though optimized for desktop.
Support: The planned Pro tier lists direct founder support and priority generation.
Age requirement: Users must be at least 13 years old.
Price from: $15/mo
