Creating your account

Getting started with Plot takes about a minute. You need an email address, a password, and somewhere to click a confirmation link. That's it.

Plot is free, and accounts are free forever. There's no trial, no credit card, and no "upgrade to unlock" screen waiting for you later.

Signing up

Head to /plot/register and fill in your email and a password. Pick an email you actually check — it's how you'll log back in, and it's where we'll send the confirmation link in a moment.

1. 1

   Enter your email

   Use a real address you have access to. This becomes your login.
2. 2

   Choose a password

   Make it something you'll remember, or save it to your password manager.
3. 3

   Hit Sign up

   You'll land on a "check your inbox" screen right away.

Verifying your email

Open your inbox and look for a message from Plot. Click the link inside, and you'll be sent straight back to the app, logged in and ready to go.

If you close the tab before clicking the link, no stress — just come back later, click the link, and you'll pick up where you left off.

Your first look at the dashboard

The first time you land on the dashboard, it's mostly empty — and that's the point. You'll see clear buttons inviting you to make your first stage plot, rider, or input list. Pick whichever you need first. You can always come back and make the others.

Forgot your password?

No problem. On the login screen there's a "forgot password" link. Enter the email you signed up with, and we'll send you a reset link. Your documents stay exactly where you left them.

What's next

Now that your account is live, the next step is making something. Start with the three documents Plot creates to figure out which one you need first.
