Mobile interface reference for Guest Mode vs. Cloud Account: Which Should You Choose?

Key Takeaways

  • Guest mode is 100% private and offline-contained.
  • Cloud accounts provide multi-device sync and disaster recovery.
  • Automatic data migration guarantees zero data loss upon upgrading.

Step-by-Step Instructions

01

Understanding Guest Mode

Guest mode writes directly to the embedded Drift SQLite database on your device. It requires zero network connectivity and zero credentials. However, if you uninstall the app or clear device storage, local data cannot be restored.

02

Understanding Cloud Accounts

When you register with email/password or Google OAuth, Fit Host assigns you an authenticated Supabase UUID protected by PostgreSQL Row Level Security (RLS). All workouts, hydration logs, and profile metrics are backed up to the cloud in real-time.

03

Upgrading from Guest to Cloud Account

If you start as a guest and decide to sign up later, Fit Host automatically checks your local Drift database and migrates all existing records to your new cloud account so you never lose a set.
