Use BoltAI for Mac without an account
The Mac app works without a BoltAI Cloud account. BoltAI Mobile needs one.
Written By Daniel Nguyen
BoltAI for Mac works without a BoltAI Cloud account. BoltAI Mobile is different: it asks you to sign in.
On Mac, without an account, everything is stored in your Local Account on this Mac: your chats, projects, agents, prompts, AI providers and their API keys.
What needs an account
- Cloud Sync, to keep your chats on more than one Mac. See Sync your chats with Cloud Sync.
Everything else works without an account, including Local Models, Inline AI and AI Workflows.
Move your data to another Mac without an account
- Everything: see Back up and restore local BoltAI data.
- A few chats: see Move chats to another Mac.
Sign in later
If you create an account later, BoltAI asks what to do with your Local Account. Choose Merge to Cloud to sync it, or Keep Local Data Separate. See Bring your existing chats into your account.
