Create your account
Create your account with an emailed sign-in code, without setting a password or entering a card. Payment is a separate step before byline begins reading your content.
Sign up in seconds
Head to the sign-in page and type the email you want byline tied to. We'll email you a six-digit code. Enter it, and your account is created on the spot. There's no separate sign-up form to fill in: the first code you use brings your workspace to life.
Prefer to skip the email step? If a Google option is showing, choose "Continue with Google" and you're in with one click.
A few things worth knowing:
- The code lands in your inbox within a few seconds. If you don't see it, check your spam folder.
- It expires after 10 minutes. If it lapses, just ask for a fresh one.
- Use a real, permanent address. Throwaway and disposable email addresses are turned away at the door.
No passwords to remember
byline has no passwords, by design. There's nothing to invent, store, forget, or reset. Every time you sign in, we email you a new one-time code, and that same code is how we confirm the address really belongs to you. One less credential to keep safe, and nothing for anyone else to steal.
If you signed up with Google, that's your way back in too. Same button, every time.
Choose a plan before reading begins
Signup gives you one setup workspace, not a free trial. Eligible first-time payers can choose a US$0.99 introductory month on monthly Creator or Studio. Both introductions use Creator reading allowances; Studio also includes up to five owned workspaces and team access.
Unless cancelled, Creator renews at US$29/month and Studio at US$99/month after the introduction. Annual plans are paid upfront without the introductory offer. Review your initial payment and automatic renewal before checkout. Reading and private-context access begin once payment is confirmed, or when an explicit complimentary plan applies. See plans and billing.
Your private workspace
Your account comes with its own private workspace. Everything byline reads and learns, your content, your voice profile, your working notes, lives there and belongs to you. It's stored on UK-based infrastructure, used to build your own voice, and never sold.
Working with a team? On the right plan, a workspace can hold more than one person, so a studio or a pair of ghostwriters can share a single brand memory.
Once you're in, your workspace has its own byline connection link, the one you'll paste into your AI tools later:

Signing in later
Coming back is the same gentle path. Go to the sign-in page, enter your email, and we'll send a fresh code. Type it in and you're home. No password prompt, ever.
Used Google to start? Just choose "Continue with Google" again. Either way, you land straight back in the workspace where you left off.
