Create an account
Sign up for SpineOS with Google or GitHub, with no password to choose or remember, and get your first cloud desktop ready.
Sign up in one click
SpineOS uses OAuth for authentication. You sign in with an existing Google or GitHub account -- there is no email-and-password registration.
No passwords to manage, no email verification, and your account inherits the security of your identity provider (including two-factor authentication if you have it enabled).
How to create your account
- Go to www.spinestudio.dev.
- Click Sign In in the top navigation.
- Choose Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub.
- Authorize SpineOS when prompted by your provider.
That is it. On first sign-in, SpineOS creates your workspace automatically. You will land on the dashboard, ready to create your first desktop.
What gets created
On first sign-in, SpineOS sets up:
- Your user account, linked to your Google or GitHub identity
- Your workspace, where your desktops, tasks, and files live
- Free tier access -- 1 desktop, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB disk
No credit card required.
Switching providers
Your account is tied to the OAuth provider you signed up with. If you signed in with Google, you will always sign in with Google. Linking multiple providers to the same account is not supported yet.
