Accounts & Plans

Dynamo works two ways: bring your own provider key and use it with no account, or sign in to a Dynamo account to unlock plan features.

Do I Need an Account?

No — if you bring your own provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a CLI subscription), Dynamo runs without any account. You pay your provider directly and every core feature works.

An account unlocks plan features layered on top — for example, automatic memory consolidation on session start (the dream-on-startup loop). See Memory for that feature specifically.

Signing In

From inside Dynamo:

/login      # start the sign-in flow
/logout     # sign out on this device
/whoami     # show who you're signed in as and your current plan
/upgrade    # open the upgrade flow

Or from your shell:

dynamo login
dynamo logout
dynamo whoami
dynamo upgrade

New accounts get a 30-day Pro trial so you can try plan features before deciding.

Devices & Seats

Dynamo seats are device-based — each machine you sign in on registers as a device under your license. Manage them from the CLI:

dynamo account devices              # list registered devices (marks this one)
dynamo account devices revoke <id>  # revoke a specific device
dynamo account portal               # open your customer portal in the browser

Use account devices revoke to free up a seat when you stop using a machine, then sign in on the new one.

Billing

dynamo account portal opens your hosted customer portal, where you can change plan, update payment details, and review invoices.
