Does CoinNotch need an account or wallet?
No. CoinNotch needs no account, no login, and no wallet connection. It displays public crypto prices, which require none of those things. You download it, pick your coins, and it works. Your coin choices are stored locally on your Mac, not in any cloud profile.
No. CoinNotch does not require an account, a login, or a connected wallet. It shows public market prices, the same prices anyone can look up, and displaying those needs no identity and no access to your funds. You download the app, pick the coins you want, and it works immediately, with nothing to sign up for.
Why none of that is needed
The reason is what CoinNotch does and does not do. It is a price display, not a wallet, exchange, or portfolio tracker. It never touches your holdings, places trades, or needs to know who you are, so the usual reasons an app asks for an account or a wallet connection simply do not apply. Your watchlist and settings live locally on your Mac, not in an online account, which is also why there is nothing to log into.
This is a deliberate privacy posture, not a missing feature. By showing only public data and storing your choices on your own machine, CoinNotch has nothing sensitive to protect because it never collects anything sensitive. The privacy review goes through this in full.
