You don't need an account to use the iPhone app. Open it and the horse videos already on your phone are right there — browse, tag, search, and let the app spot horses, all on your device and private to it. You only sign in when you want to do something that needs the cloud.
What works without an account
- Browse and play the horse videos already on your phone.
- Tag them with horse, rider, location, and the performance fields.
- Search and filter your library.
- Let on-device detection find the horse videos and hide the rest — nothing leaves your phone.
What asks you to sign in
- Uploading to the cloud, so videos are backed up and reachable from the web.
- Sharing a video with a person or a team.
- Transferring ownership to someone else.
When you tap one of these, the app asks you to create a free account or log in — right at that moment, not before. The local videos and the metadata you already added stay exactly as they were.
You choose at first launch
The first time you open the app it offers a choice: start without an account, or create one / log in. You can switch later from the You tab.
More than one account on one phone
Sign into several accounts over time and each keeps its own videos and edits — they don't mix together.
