You need a free account to share prototypes. Building locally never needs an account — only sharing does.
Sign in
npx proto loginThis opens your browser to sign in. Use email (you get a magic link) or Google. Once you’re signed in, you’ll see a confirmation in the browser:
You're signed in
Head back to your terminal — you can close this tab.Back in the terminal:
You're signed in.That’s it. You don’t usually run npx proto login directly — npx proto share and npx proto record sign you in automatically the first time you use them.
Manage your shares
Everything lives at prototo.app/account :
- Your published prototypes (links are permanent)
- Your Studio recordings
- Your current plan, and the option to upgrade
Sign out
Prototo stores your sign-in in a single file on your Mac. To sign out, delete it:
rm ~/.prototo/api-token.jsonThere’s no proto logout command yet — removing that file is how you sign out. The next npx proto share or npx proto login signs you back in.
