    I don't know this for sure, but I would also guess that simply not singing into your iCloud account on the Mac is easier and would work just as well.

    (I have a Macbook that I use for various things. Other than lack of access to the Apple Store, I don't feel like I'm missing anything from not having an iCloud account.)

      My work Mac is not signed into iCloud and the writing tools popup appeared when selecting text on it after updating to macOS 27. I disabled that in the Screen Time settings.
