I want to use Remarkbox in my app, which is not hosted on a website.

Currently when posting a comment, you have to enter an you have to go to
your emails, and when clicking the log in, will be redirected to the
website you signed up with. I would like to log in users automatically
just using their device id. A username is also not necessary. Is
something like this possible?

This is a very interesting use-case but I agree that Remarkbox is not a
perfect fit (at least not yet).

Some additional questions about your use-case:

-  Would you need this to work for IOS or Android or both?
-  Would you be able to utilize the device "advertisement id" instead of
   the device id?
-  What is the goal of these comments? What would this allow the user to
   do on your app?

Feel free to reach out to me here if you would be more comfortable
discussing this via email:
