Get Started

First you will need to choose among the offered plans. See the PRICING page for details.


1) ANONYMOUS ACCESS

You do not require a SIGN UP or SIGN IN to access site anonymously. The site automatically generates an identifier based on your machine and browser. As long as this identifier remains uniquely assigned to you, you can use it to save personal preferences and perform recalls searches. However, the feature set available to Anonymous User is very limited and due to lack of registered email, your access will not support any real-time notification alerts. A possibility may also exist for the identifier to be shared by another RecallsMe anonymous user and your preferences will no longer be private nor guaranteed to be persisted. We recommend you SIGN UP/SIGN IN if you wish to retain your private settings.
