What

Add Skip Account under Window. Relaunch to browse without signing in; hide Sign In and the Account, Morning Brief and Sync settings.

Why

Use Dia without creating an account. The installer and framework stay unchanged.

Before first login: install this branch using the normal README instructions, quit Dia at sign-in, then run in Terminal:

diatweaks enable skipAccount

Reopen Dia. Settings → Patches is now accessible; no account or Settings access is needed to enable it initially.

For plain browsing, also run diatweaks enable turnOffAI and relaunch. Signed-out chat reproduced “Something went wrong”; this patch does not provide AI access. For text searches, select Advanced → Address Bar → Prefer Search Engine.

Proof

Fresh profiles; no account created.

Before: sign-in

After: browsing

After: settings

Limitation: signed-out chat fails

Tested on

• Dia 1.57.1 (90935), arm64; macOS 27.3.
• Build, install, make check, CLI bootstrap and Restore passed.
• Earlier full runs: 224 scenarios, zero Skip Account failures. Other readiness failures were rechecked below.
• Focused rechecks with two loaded tabs: 20/20 passed, both layouts, including the failing combinations.
• Cold launch with Skip Account + Turn Off AI: browsing works; chat commands hidden.
• 1Password unavailable in the test profile: N/A.
• Wiki and preview need maintainer publication.

Checklist

• I tried to break this and fixed what I found
• It works with tabs in the sidebar and tabs at the top
• It works with each tweak on and off (1Password unavailable in test profile: N/A)
