# Guest Mode

> Use Seed Scroll without an account — read the full Bible, explore Strong's concordance, and take local study notes.

You do not need to create an account to start using Seed Scroll. Guest mode gives you access to the core Bible study features immediately, with study notes saved locally on your device.

## Enter guest mode

You can enter guest mode from two places:

* **Onboarding screen** — tap **Continue as Guest** after swiping through the feature slides.
* **Auth screen** — tap **Continue without account** at the bottom of the sign-in screen.

A confirmation prompt reminds you that notes saved in guest mode are stored on this device only. Tap **Continue anyway** to proceed.
