# Account Strategy

GGSight does not require an account for first use.

The desktop app can run fully locally with:

- First-launch legal agreement.
- Game selection.
- Screen capture and OCR.
- Manual scan zones.
- Gamer tag parser.
- Current match dashboard.
- Local SQLite encounter history.
- Public lookup settings.
- Desktop notifications.
- Console capture mode.
- Privacy controls.
- CSV/JSON export.

Prompt for an account only when the user explicitly wants:

- Cloud sync.
- Cloud backup.
- Paid features.
- Subscription management.
- Multi-device history.

Telemetry, analytics, and crash reports must be opt-in.
