Why Kurso has no account

Behind Kurso · 3 min read

Most apps ask you to sign up before you can do anything. Kurso doesn't — and that was one of the first decisions we made.

Your mood is not our data

A note about a bad day, a side effect you're embarrassed about, a diary entry you'd never say out loud. These are some of the most personal things a person can write. We think the safest place for them is the device in your pocket, not a server somewhere.

What that means in practice

Privacy you can feel

Privacy isn't only about servers. It's also about the moment someone glances at your lock screen. That's why Kurso can hide medicine names in notifications, lock the app — and separately, the diary — with Face ID, and offers app icons that don't draw attention.

One thing to know. Because there's no account, there's no cloud copy either. Your Kurso data is part of your regular iPhone backup, so keep backups turned on if you'd like it to move with you to a new phone.
