What is Demo Mode in the QueryWatch Search Console app?
Demo Mode runs the whole QueryWatch app, Pro screens included, on four sample properties without signing in to Google. What it shows and does not.
Demo Mode is a way to try QueryWatch, an independent Google Search Console app for iPhone and Android, without signing in. It runs the whole app, including the Pro screens, on four sample properties, so you can see the layout before connecting a Google account.
What can I see in Demo Mode?
Every screen: the property list, clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, queries and pages, the striking-distance view, change investigation, alerts and reports. Because it covers Pro screens too, you can judge what the paid tier adds before deciding anything.
What is different from the real app?
| Demo Mode | Signed in | |
|---|---|---|
| Google sign-in | Not needed | Google’s own sign-in sheet, read-only scopes |
| Properties | Four sample properties | Every property your account can access |
| Data | Sample data | Your real Search Console data |
| Pro screens | Visible | Unlocked with Pro |
Figures in Demo Mode are sample numbers and describe no real site.
What happens when I do sign in?
Sign-in uses Google’s own sign-in sheet with read-only scopes (openid, userinfo.email, webmasters.readonly). The write scope is requested only when a Pro user submits or deletes a sitemap. On iPhone the refresh token stays in the Keychain; on Android, Google Play services hold the grant and the app never receives a refresh token. A credential leaves the phone only if push alerts are turned on.
The free tier then lists every property with no site limit. QueryWatch requires iOS 26 or later on iPhone, or Android 12 or later on Android, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC.
