Solo Mode vs Global Mode

Two games, one stake.

Solo Mode

A private, randomly-timed check-in just for you. NoOut picks a moment inside your active hours that only your device knows in advance. No account needed — Solo Mode runs entirely on your phone, nothing leaves your device.

Global Mode

A shared, deterministic check-in — every device in Global Mode gets the same signal at the same instant, derived from the date alone. It's the "thousands of people, same signal, same moment" version. Because the signal has to be attributed to you, Global Mode requires signing in.

That instant is fixed worldwide, not adjusted to your timezone — depending on where you live, it can fall at any local hour, including overnight. NoOut doesn't delay or skip it for that reason; a miss still costs the full consequence regardless. You have to explicitly confirm you understand this before joining Global Mode.

They share one stake

Solo and Global aren't two separate commitments — they're two different games played against the same staked apps. You choose one to start with; the other stays available to join later from its own tab, using the exact same stake, no new setup. Because the stake is shared, a miss in either mode locks your apps in both. See what a missed signal actually costs for the full consequence.

Which should you start with?

Solo if you want to start immediately with no account and a fully private, personal check-in. Global if the idea of everyone hitting the same deterministic moment together is the more compelling version for you. Neither choice is permanent — join the other one whenever you want, and leaving a mode later doesn't erase your progress in the one you keep.
