Account and sign-in
Linework has no passwords: you sign in with a link sent to your email, or with Google or Apple.
Create an account#
- Open the app and tap JOIN US.
- Enter your email and tick that you accept the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy (you can read both in the app).
- Tap SEND MAGIC LINK, or choose Google or Apple (Apple on iPhone only).
- Open the email on the same phone and tap the link: the app opens and you are in.
If a friend invited you, open their invite link first (linework.app/join?ref=…): the invite is linked to your new account automatically.
Sign in#
- Tap LOG IN, enter your email and tap SEND MAGIC LINK, or continue with Google or Apple.
- The CHECK YOUR INBOX screen shows where the link was sent. Open it on this phone.
- No email? Wait a minute and check the Spam and Promotions folders, then tap RESEND when the countdown ends.
- Only the latest link works. An expired link: request a new one.
- Wrong address: tap USE A DIFFERENT EMAIL.
- If you had deactivated your account, signing in with Google or Apple asks whether to reactivate it.
Complete your profile#
The first time, before using the app:
- TAP TO ADD PHOTO: a real profile photo is required by the community standards.
- FULL NAME: your real name.
- USERNAME: your @name, used to find you, mention you and send you money.
- Tap CONTINUE.
If your account still has an automatic username, you can browse but not post, comment, like, follow or write messages: the app asks you to Choose a username first.
Lock the app (optional)#
After your first sign-in the app offers Face ID / Touch ID and a 4-digit PIN (entered twice). With a lock set, the app asks for it every time it opens; the same lock protects locked chats and confirms some payments. If you forget the PIN, tap Forgot my PIN?.
Quick tour#
On first launch a short tutorial introduces Spiral, Bloop and the wallet. Your session lasts until you log out; if it expires you see Session expired and simply sign in again.
Log out or delete your account#
- Log out: Profile → ⚙︎ Menu → Logout, then confirm.
- Delete account: Profile → ⚙︎ Menu → bottom of the page → Delete account → Yes.
Deleting the account removes your profile, posts and chats, and any balance left in your wallet is lost. Spend or send your balance first.
