Open the purchased desktop app and work without signing in to a Songcards service.
Control and responsibility are two sides of local-first.
Your Songcards catalogue lives on your own Windows machine. There is no Songcards account and no Songcards cloud library holding your songs.
No cloud library.
Songcards does not keep your catalogue in a HugByte-hosted song database.
No song upload.
The desktop app does not automatically upload lyrics, prompts, notes or release details to HugByte.
Backups matter.
Local-first gives control, but a failed computer still needs a backup you can reach.
The outcome matters more than the implementation.
Songcards is built so the catalogue remains yours to manage. That is a product decision, not just a technical detail.
Technical note
The app stores Songcards locally on the Windows machine. Use the backup and export tools when you need to protect or move your records.
