Create your account

Setting up takes about a minute: sign up with Google or with your email, then your name and time zone.

#1. Sign up

#With Google

1. Go to daykite.com/sign-up and choose Continue with Google.
2. Pick your Google account. Daykite gets your name, email address and profile photo — nothing else. Your email is already confirmed, so you skip step 2.

The same button on the sign-in page signs you back in. It only signs you in: your Google Calendar stays separate until you connect it.

#With your email

1. Go to daykite.com/sign-up.
2. Enter your full name, email and a password of at least 12 characters. A short phrase you'll remember — "kites fly best in march" — is stronger than a jumble of symbols.
3. Tick the box to agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy, then choose Create account.

Signing in with a Microsoft or Apple account isn't available.

#2. Confirm your email

Daykite sends a six-digit code to the address you signed up with. Type it in (or paste it — all six boxes fill at once). The code lasts 15 minutes; if it has run out or never arrived, choose Send it again.

Typed the wrong address? Choose Change it on the same screen.

#3. Two things, then your calendar

The last step asks for:

• Your name — how you appear to guests and people in your Spaces.
• Your time zone — Daykite guesses it from your browser. Every time you see is shown in this zone, and your booking page offers times from it.

Choose Open my calendar and you're in.

#What's already set up for you

You don't need to configure anything else to start, but it helps to know what Daykite assumed:

Working hours matter more than they look: Find a time only suggests times inside them, and your booking page only offers them.

#Next steps

• Take a tour of the screen.
• Connect Google Calendar so your existing events show up.
• Create your first event.
