Do I need an account?

Without an account

Everything in the free tier works signed out: the circle, the card, hiding a post for the session, on-device writing-pattern analysis, provenance checks, and the community verdict cache. Signed-out requests to our API are rate limited per hashed IP address instead of per account, and nothing about you is stored beyond that daily counter.

What an account adds

• Community reports. "Not AI" and "Report as AI" record one vote per account per piece of content, so they need a connected account.
• Your daily limit on your account rather than on your network's IP address, which matters on shared connections.
• Pro. Auto-hide, per-site rules, "always hide this account", and the recheck are tied to an account's plan.
• The creator program, which also needs a verified email address.

Creating one

Sign up with an email address and password, or continue with Google, GitHub, X or Twitch. See Create an account. Then hand the extension your account from the connect page; see Connect the extension to your account.
