Sign up and log in
How to create an account, log in, and log out, and how this relates to cloud sync in local-first mode.
Sign up (create an account)
Cloud version
- Go to cloud.niyase.com
- Click "Sign up"
- Register with an email address + password, or with a Google account
- Click the link in the confirmation email to activate
Desktop / mobile version
You can start using it right after installation without logging in. When you decide you want cloud sync, register from Settings → Account → "Sign up."
Data you have already created locally is kept as-is.
Log in
You can log in with a passkey (recommended), email + password, or a Google account.
- Passkey: enable it from Account settings → Auth → "Register a passkey"
- Two-factor authentication: supports TOTP (Google Authenticator, etc.)
Log out
Account menu at the top right of the app bar → "Log out."
- Cloud version: the session is discarded and you return to the login screen
- Desktop / mobile: local data remains after logging out (equivalent to having cloud sync OFF). Logging back in resumes sync
Relationship between local spaces and cloud spaces
When you log in, spaces that exist locally and spaces that exist in the cloud are not merged automatically. By default they are kept side by side as separate spaces.
To promote a local space to cloud sync, do it explicitly from Space settings → Sync → "Turn on cloud sync" (this uploads the space along with its existing data).
