Sign ins were originally used to separate private groups of files for different users at MIT’s time-sharing computer, CTSS, in the mid 1960s. Since then, a lot has changed in computing, but sign-ins are still common in practically every application.

Unfortunately, many users find logins to be taxing, creating displeasure due to added steps and friction in obtaining what they want, as well as decision fatigue. If an app doesn’t require immediate logins, it might be beneficial to allow users to skip the process in some way. However, not all web apps require it. You can accomplish certain typical web actions without registering, such as sharing a photo or shortening a link. You can even start a video conference without any registration.

Do you enjoy websites that require no sign-ups, registrations, or downloads? Then you’ll appreciate these no-fuss web tools and services that make daily productivity a breeze. When you go to Wikipedia, everything is right there for you; no further steps required!

So let’s see what else the Internet has to offer without needing you to register or log in with social media accounts. The apps in the list below may not be the most recent, but they are a mix of old and new. We hope you enjoy this list and that you will return for more similar ones in the future.
