Do I have to sign in?

Account & dataAll platforms

No. Installing tools, adding widgets, adding home screen widgets, setting reminders, and backing up and restoring don't need an account. It all happens on your device.

You need to sign in to:

  1. Get Pro or start a free trial.
  2. Use Sync across devices.
  3. Publish tools you've created, on Mac or Windows (publishing isn't available in mainland China yet).
  4. Report a tool.

Sending feedback doesn't require signing in; if you'd like a reply, leave your contact details in the feedback form.

On a Mac, a Windows PC and other devices, you can sign in by scanning a code with a phone that's already signed in to Numable. See "Sign in on a computer and manage devices".

Signing in doesn't upload your dataYour tools always fetch their data directly on your device. Only if you turn on Sync across devices is an encrypted copy kept on our servers, and we can't decrypt it.
