Use Notta Mobile App in Guest Mode

Updated September 24, 2026 11:41

The guest mode in the Notta mobile app allows you to easily use the service without signing up or logging in. This article introduces how to use guest mode and important points to keep in mind.

What is Guest Mode?

While creating an account is the standard way to use Notta, you can also use it as a guest without an account. To use Notta in guest mode without registering an account, you need to install the Notta mobile app.

Guest users are subject to feature limitations, similar to Free members.
Guest mode is not available on the Web version.

Notes:

Because guest accounts are not associated with authentication information such as an email address, your data may be lost if you switch devices or exit Guest Mode.
To keep your data safe, we recommend creating an account before making important recordings.

Open Guest Mode

Search for "Notta" on the App Store or Google Play, and install the app.

Tip: If you're already logged in to an account, uninstall the Notta app and reinstall it.
When you open the app, you will see two options: "Continue as Guest" and "Log in".
1. To use Guest Mode, tap Continue as Guest in the upper-right corner. This article explains how to use Notta in Guest Mode.
2. If you are going to make important recordings, tap Log In instead and create a new account or log in to an existing account so that your recordings can be securely saved and managed.
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a workspace.
After entering the workspace, tap Mine in the bottom right corner. If the username in the top left shows Guest and a Sign Up option appears next to it, you are currently in guest mode.

Exit Guest Mode

Tap Mine > Sign Up.
Complete account linking or logging in using one of the following methods to exit guest mode.
Link account using a third-party service ID

Note: You cannot link using an ID that is currently linked to an existing Notta account.

Select the third-party service you want to link, and follow the on-screen instructions to choose a Google, Microsoft, or Apple ID that is not linked to an existing Notta account.

Once linking is complete, guest mode will end. Rest assured that any audio and transcript data created during guest mode will be safely retained in your account.
Link account using an email address
Note: You cannot link using an email address that is currently linked to an existing Notta account.
1. Enter an email address that is not linked to an existing Notta account.
2. Tap Get a code. Check your inbox for the 6-digit verification code sent to the email address you entered.
3. Enter the verification code and password. Read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy carefully, and if you agree, check the box for "By using Notta you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy".
4. Tap Set up an account to exit guest mode. Rest assured that your audio and transcript data from guest mode will remain intact.
Log in without carrying over guest data
Notes:

If you sign up or log in to an account without linking your guest account, the audio and transcript data created in Guest Mode will not be carried over to that account.

If you do this by mistake, you can recover your data on the iOS app, but it cannot be recovered on the Android app. For instructions on how to recover your data, see Restore Guest Mode Data at the end of this article.
Tap Log In at the bottom to Sign up or Log in with an existing account. Doing so will end Guest Mode without keeping your guest data.

Check the UID for Guest Mode

You can check the User ID (UID) of your current guest account by following these steps:

Tap Mine in the bottom right, scroll to the bottom of the screen, and tap About Notta.
You can view your UID at the bottom of the "About Notta" screen.

Subscribe to Pro in Guest Mode

Restore Guest Mode Data

If you are using Guest Mode on the iOS app and accidentally log in with a third-party service ID or email address that is currently linked to an existing Notta account, your recordings created in Guest Mode may disappear, or a Pro plan you purchased may not be applied correctly.

In this case, make sure to use the same iOS device and follow these steps:

Delete and reinstall the app.
After launching the app, tap Continue as Guest.
Tap Mine > Sign Up.
Link a third-party service ID or email address that is not linked to an existing Notta account. Your guest mode transcripts will be restored, and your Pro status will become active.

Android App

Please note that if you accidentally log in with a third-party ID or email address currently linked to an existing Notta account on the Android app, transcript data created in guest mode cannot be restored.

If you purchased a Pro plan while in guest mode, please cancel and request a refund for the subscription, then re-subscribe to Pro using your current registered account.
