Signing in

• An Atmosphere account: a Bluesky account, an account on another PDS, or your own domain as a handle.
• An invitation from a community admin (see Getting started).

1. Open off-the-clock.us and choose Sign in.
2. Type your handle, like @john-smith.bsky.social or @john-smith.com.
3. You're sent to your own account's sign-in page (Bluesky, or your PDS). Sign in there if you aren't already.
4. Review what Off the Clock asks for and approve. See What Off the Clock can do with your account.
5. You land back on Off the Clock, on the welcome screen or your feed.

• Sessions last up to a week, then you sign in again (OTC_SESSION_MAX_AGE_SECS, 7 days by default). The session cookie is described in the Cookie Policy.
• Sign out from the account menu (your avatar, top right).
• Signing out ends the session on Off the Clock; revoke the app on your account's settings page to remove access entirely.

Admins sign in like everyone else, and the admin pages ask once for extra permissions (managing spaces and the admin methods). Link Running the community.

• "Not a member": you haven't been invited yet, or the invitation names a different handle.
• Your handle changed: sign in with the new one; your account (DID) is the same.
• Signed out unexpectedly: your account's server refused a request. Sign in again; if it repeats, tell an admin.
