“Create an account” is a personality test

Some people read “sign up” and think security. Crews often read it as “this company is about to own my photos.” Both reactions are fair depending on history. Account-less apps trade admin convenience for trust speed—you install and shoot.

Accounts help when

You are revoking access, billing a workspace, or syncing devices. You need identity. Fine.

No account helps when

You are trying to get six people documenting without a rollout meeting. The phone stays the vault until export.
