What needs an account

Where your data is kept
Without an account, what you save stays on your device: in your browser's storage on the web, or in the app's storage on Android and Windows. It isn't sent to PulsePom's servers.
That means:
- Each browser and device has its own data. Your phone and your laptop don't see each other's sessions until you sign in on both.
- Clearing your browser's data for pulsepom.io, or uninstalling the app, deletes it.
- If you want it kept safe, sign in: it moves into your account. See move your data into an account.
FAQ
Is PulsePom free without an account?
Yes. Everything that works without an account is free, with no ads.
Can I sign in later without losing anything?
Yes. When you sign in, what you saved on that device moves into your account by itself: subjects, sessions, days off, Planner lists, tasks, habits, moods and tags.
Does the Android app's blocking work without an account?
Yes. The Block section works without an account, after you allow the permissions it asks for.
Why do study groups need an account?
A group shows your name, Studicon and study time to the other members, so it needs an account that is yours. Signing up is free, with email, Google or Microsoft.
