A Free Dashboard With No Account and No Sign-Up

Most tools ask for your email before they show you anything. You sign up, confirm an address, pick a password, and only then do you get to see whether the thing is any good. Baton Board skips all of that.

Baton Board is a free dashboard with no account. There is no sign-up, no email, and no login. You open it in your browser and you are already using it. The board is yours from the first second.

No account, no sign-up, no email

There is genuinely nothing to create. No "verify your email," no password to forget, no social login, no onboarding wizard you have to click through. You land on an empty board, drop in the widgets you want — tasks, notes, a calendar, a countdown, a focus timer — and start.

Because there is no account, there is also nothing to be locked out of. You will never be told your session expired, your seat was revoked, or your trial ended. The tool is just there when you open it.

Free is a complete tool, not a trial

A lot of "free" software is really a countdown to a paywall. Baton Board's free plan is a complete, everyday tool on its own:

• One board with six core widgets: tasks, notes, links, calendar, countdown, and a Pomodoro timer.
• Full data import/export — your whole board as a single data.json file, any time.
• Automatic backups and point-in-time restore.
• All eight languages and full-board search.
• Light, dark, and follow-the-OS themes.

Pro (¥980/month, ¥9,800/year, or a ¥14,800 lifetime license) adds depth for people who want more: unlimited boards, the analytics widgets (KPI, goal, habit, agenda, activity, PDCA), the AI assistant, and end-to-end device sync. But the free plan is not a teaser — it is a tool you can use for years without paying.

No account is also more private

Skipping the account is not just convenient — it is safer. There is no central database of users, so there is nothing about you to leak. Your board lives in your own browser (or a local file on the desktop app), on your own device. We do not store it, and we do not need to know who you are to let you use the app.

That is the whole design: your data stays with you, and you never had to hand over an identity to get started.

Who it's for

• People who are tired of accounts and just want to open a tool and use it.
• Privacy-minded users who would rather not create yet another login tied to their email.
• Anyone evaluating tools quickly — there is no sign-up friction, so you can see the real thing in seconds.
• People who work offline — installed as a PWA, it opens and runs with no connection and no account check.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account to use Baton Board?

No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no login. You open it in your browser and start using it immediately.

Is the free plan a trial that expires?

No. The free plan is a complete tool with one board, six widgets, import/export, backups, search, and eight languages. It does not expire.

If there is no account, where is my data?

On your device — in your browser's local storage, or in a local file in the desktop app. There is no cloud database holding your board.

Can I use it without an internet connection?

Yes. Installed as a PWA, Baton Board opens and works offline, because both the app and your data are on your device.

What do I get if I pay for Pro?

Unlimited boards, the analytics widgets (KPI, goal, habit, agenda, activity, PDCA), the AI assistant, end-to-end device sync, and deeper customization. The everyday experience and your data freedom stay free.

Do I need an account to pay for Pro?

Payment is handled by Polar and unlocks Pro with a license key validated on your device. Your board still has no account and still stays on your device.
