Why do you require users to make an account? I personally would rather have all my settings stored locally, and export them if I needed to. An option for this would be great.

Yeah I installed it, saw you need an account, and uninstalled it.

I quite like desktop programs still, but I expect everything to be stored locally and not to need an account. I had hoped for a KeePass style db file that I could sync on Dropbox or something, but the last thing I need is more accounts and my data on some randoms server that could be taken down when they get bored, or run out of money/motivation.
