From the very beginning, Recap has been developed on the principle that privacy is security. We believe that your data belongs to you and so we put you in control of it. It's quite an old fashioned idea really, but - if no one knows you have it, no one can steal it.

Unlike other apps which encrypt your data for you, our encryption is client-side. This means that you encrypt your data on your device, you hold your keys and for that reason, your data can only be decrypted by you.

We only ever ask for read-access API keys and use a secure, no-logging proxy in order to sync your account.

Once retrieved through the API, your data is encrypted with your personal secret phrase. As you are entirely in control of your secret phrase no one but you can ever decrypt and view your account.

You will be given a secret phrase when you first sign-up, this ensures that only you can ever access your data. Recap will prompt for your secret phrase any time it recognises that you are trying to log in from a different device.

💡 It's really important to back up your secret phrase as only you have access to it and we are unable to reset it - therefore if you lose it you will have to start over.
