Your place in the sky.
Checking your account…
Create an optional free beta account with a passkey. Your device handles your fingerprint, face or PIN; Planecast never receives that information.
You can keep using the free app without an account. Sightings and watching spots stay in this browser; account sync and paid Pro are not available yet.
Use a backup code
Use one of the codes you saved when you created your account. Each code works once. You’ll then have five minutes to add a replacement passkey.
Without a passkey or an unused backup code, this account cannot be recovered. Planecast does not collect a recovery email.
Your spotting records stay on this device until you choose to upload them.
Recovery is in progress. Add a replacement passkey now to keep access to your account.
The selected passkey and its sessions are removed only after your new passkey is saved.
Save your backup codes
These codes are shown once. Store them somewhere private, separate from this device. Each code can recover your account once.
Show the codes
Permissions & account security
Use your passkey again before changing security settings. Signing out of other sessions blocks their next account request.
Your passkeys
Removing a passkey also signs out sessions created with it. Keep at least one passkey.
Recovery
New backup codes replace all older ones and sign out sessions still using backup recovery.
Delete this account
Deletion removes this account, its passkeys, backup codes, signed-in sessions and cloud backup. End any subscription in Manage billing first. Your local sightings, settings and background alerts are separate and stay unchanged.
Your collection, across devices.
Checking your subscription…
Cloud backup & sync
Sign in to the same account on your other device and press Sync now there. Each sync merges changes; conflicting notes or removals ask you which copy to keep. No background uploads.
After cancellation, local spotting and export/import remain free. You can still download or erase your retained cloud backup. Alerts are not included in this subscription.
Back up or move this device’s records
Save sightings, aircraft collection, wishlist and watching spots in one file. These tools work offline and do not upload your data.
