Account
Create an account
Sign up for Daybreak with email or Google. Verify your address and you're in.
Quick answer
Account creation is fast on purpose. The deeper personalization happens in onboarding right after.
Before you start
- An email you can check now (you'll need to confirm a 6-digit code).
- A unique password, or a Google account.
Step-by-step
Open the signup page
Enter email + password — or continue with Google
Email path: type your address, set a password (8+ chars, upper + lower + a digit), click Sign up.
Google path: click Continue with Google, pick the account, grant the email/name scope. We don't request any other Google data.
Verify your email
Check your inbox for a 6-digit code from
[email protected]. Type it in. Most codes arrive within a
minute; if it's been longer, see Common
pitfalls.
Land on the dashboard
You're signed in and routed straight into onboarding. Two minutes, five questions, then you're free to explore.
Password requirements
- 8 or more characters
- At least one uppercase letter
- At least one lowercase letter
- At least one digit
We don't enforce special characters or block common patterns at signup, but we recommend a passphrase or a password manager. If you reuse a password, also turn on two-factor auth — it's the cheapest meaningful protection you can add.
Common pitfalls
Verification email never arrived
Check spam, then add [email protected] to your contacts.
After 5 minutes, request a new code from the login page.
Email already in use
You probably have an existing account. Use Forgot password on the login page. If you originally signed up with Google, click Continue with Google instead — your email-and-password attempt won't work because there's no password to match.
What you get on the free tier
Every account starts free. Includes daily check-ins, journaling, limited Dawn AI conversations, and the Focus extension with all blocking features.
Upgrade to Premium when you need unlimited Dawn messages and advanced analytics — see Manage subscription.
Next steps
- Run the 2-minute onboarding.
- Install the Focus extension.
- Turn on two-factor auth before you fill the account with personal data.
