Sign up

You can sign up with email and password or with Google. Both apps use the same accounts — sign up once and you can use it everywhere.

On the web

1. Go to public.kim/signup.
2. Fill in:
   • Full Name
   • Invite Code (Optional) — paste it if a friend shared one. See Invite for what codes do.
   • Email Address
   • Password — at least 6 characters.
3. Select Create Account.
4. Check your email and click the confirmation link. After confirming, sign in.

You can also choose Sign up with Google on the same page to skip the password step.

On Android

1. Open Public and tap Sign Up.
2. Fill in your email, password, and an optional invite code.
3. Tap Sign Up, then verify your email when prompted on the Please Verify Your Email screen.

You can also use Sign Up with Google.

Phone-number sign-up is not currently exposed in the apps. Sign up with email or Google.

Tips

• Use a strong, unique password.
• Your email confirmation link comes from our auth provider. If it doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check spam or request a new one from the sign-in screen.
• After your first sign-in, finish the welcome onboarding — see First steps.
