Moving from the desktop app to our browser version? Here's how to make the switch quickly and securely.


1. Back up your secret phrase

Before you uninstall the desktop app, make sure you’ve backed up your secret phrase.

This is crucial for accessing your portfolio in the browser and not doing so could mean permanently losing access to all of your data.

  • Open the Recap desktop app

  • Go to Settings > View secret phrase

  • Securely and privately record your phrase

We recommend storing your secret phrase offline or in a password manager.

Never share it or save it as plain text.



2. Log in to the browser app

  • Head to app.recap.io

  • When prompted, enter your secret phrase

  • Once your portfolio loads, you're good to go!



3. Uninstall the desktop app

Now that your portfolio is accessible in the browser app, you can safely remove the desktop version from your device.
