Getting started
Sign up, send your first event, and get it on your phone.
Create an account
Open the dashboard and sign up with your email and a password, or ask for a sign-in code by email (it expires after 5 minutes). Verify your email address from the message EmitKit sends: invitations to other Organizations can only be accepted from a verified address. Signing in with a code verifies it for you.
Start your trial
On emitkit.com, pick a plan and start the 14-day free trial (a card is required; nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime). Self-hosted EmitKit skips this step.
Land in your workspace
EmitKit creates an Organization named after you, a Project called My app and a starter API key bound to it, then opens your dashboard with the setup guide. Rename anything later in Settings. Channels are created by the first event that names them.
Send the first event
In the guide, Reveal the starter key: it fills into the curl command and the TypeScript SDK snippet. Run one of them, or press Send a test event. The guide watches for your first event and celebrates when it lands. Store the key in a secret manager; owners and admins can reveal it again in Settings → API keys.
Get it on your phone
Set up your phone shows a QR code that opens EmitKit on your phone, and the steps to install it (on iPhone, Share → Add to Home Screen) and turn on notifications. Push is set up per device for all your Organizations; choose which ones and which channels in Settings → Notifications. The setup guide and the phone setup stay in the account menu.
