Docs
The full documentation is still being written. This page is honest about that: below is what you need to get going today, and the sections that are on the way.
Start here
Three things cover almost everything you need on day one.
1. Create an account
Sign up with an email address and a password, or ask for a magic link instead. You can turn on two-factor codes straight away from your account page.
2. Add a model provider, or use your credits
Every plan includes a monthly credit allowance, so Tincograph AI works before you configure anything. If you would rather use your own key, add any OpenAI-compatible endpoint in settings — the key stays in your browser.
3. Install Nova
Nova is the terminal browser for your Mac. Install it, sign in once, and it pairs with your account so bookmarks, settings and tabs follow you. It works offline as a browser and a terminal regardless.
Sections being written
None of these are published yet. They are listed so you can see what the finished docs will cover.

A search box arrives with the full documentation. Until then, if you cannot find an answer, write to us — the reply tends to become a docs page. The changelog is the fastest way to see what has actually shipped.
