Guest vs signed-in
What each mode can do, and how to leave guest mode.
Guest mode is a local demo session with seeded merchants (COSTCO, NIKE LEBRON XXIII, TACO TUESDAY, and friends). Signed-in mode talks to your TrackIt API user.
Guest
Browse + tinker
Analytics, Monthly, Rules edits, category chips. No upload, create account, or Agent.
Signed-in
Full product
Imports, real persistence, Agent when providers are configured on the server.
