Create your account

To get started with Dokyo, create a free account at app.dokyo.app. Your workspace is created for you, so you can write your first page straight away and invite teammates to collaborate in real time.

This guide walks you through getting started with Dokyo. You can be up and running in just a few minutes, with nothing to install.

1. Create your account

  1. Go to app.dokyo.app/register.
  2. Sign up with your email and a password, or use Google or GitHub for passwordless login.
  3. You are signed in straight away, nothing to wait for. If you signed up with an email address, we send you a short confirmation email: clicking the link keeps your account recoverable and unlocks inviting teammates and sharing pages by email. Google and GitHub signups are already confirmed.

2. Meet your workspace

A workspace is where your pages and databases live. You do not have to set one up: Dokyo creates it for you when you register and names it after your account, so you land directly in it on first sign-in. Each workspace is fully isolated from every other one.

If a teammate invites you to their workspace, it appears in the workspace picker at the top of the sidebar and you can switch between the two at any time.

3. Create your first page

  1. In the sidebar, click the + New page button under PAGES, or press Ctrl + N ( + N on macOS).
  2. Give it a title and start typing.
  3. Type / to open the slash command menu and insert headings, lists, tables, code blocks, callouts, embeds, and more.

Rather not start from a blank page? The arrow next to + New page opens two more options: New database, which offers ready-made trackers with sample rows and views, and New from template, which offers page templates for meeting notes, retrospectives, project briefs, bug reports, and more.

4. Invite your team

On the workspace home screen, the Invite a teammate card takes you straight to the invite form; you can also reach it any time from Settings → Workspace. Invite people by email, picking a role for each. Once they join, you can edit pages together in real time and see each other's cursors live.

Inviting teammates requires a confirmed email address, since the invitation is sent from yours. If you have not clicked the link in the confirmation email yet, Dokyo will remind you and let you resend it.
