Sign in

Sign in at dash.busymate.net with Apple or an email and password. The dashboard is gated — an unauthenticated visit redirects you to the sign-in screen.

Ways to sign in

Open dash.busymate.net. If you're already signed in you land on the live feed; otherwise you're taken to the sign-in page, where you can:

• Sign in with Apple — the OAuth button. Fastest if you've used Apple before.
• Email + password — the default form. Enter your email and password.
• Magic link — choose Use magic link instead and we email you a one-time sign-in link. (The built-in mailer is rate-limited, so prefer Apple or a password for frequent sign-ins.)

Your session is kept in a secure cookie shared across busymate.net, so once you're in you stay in across the dashboard and its sub-pages.

What you can see

By default you see your own devices and your own captured traffic — pair a device, watch its requests stream into the feed, inspect and replay them, and drive the API with your own credentials. That's a fully usable account on its own.

Beyond your own data, what's visible is decided by your role. Access is capability-based — a role grants a set of permissions per section (view or edit), not a single admin-or-not switch:

• The built-in viewer role is the default for new accounts: your own devices and traffic, plus the per-user reference pages.
• The built-in admin role grants everything — the fleet-wide device list, every other person's traffic, and all settings.
• Custom roles sit in between, granting exactly the sections a teammate needs.

The dashboard nav hides any section your role can't view, and the server enforces the same rules on every read and write — so the gating isn't just cosmetic. See Roles & permissions for the full model and how an admin grants access.

Trouble signing in

• Bounced back to the sign-in screen — your session expired or didn't persist; sign in again. If it keeps happening, clear cookies for busymate.net and retry.
• Magic link never arrives / says rate-limited — the built-in mailer caps sends per hour; use Apple or password instead.
• A section you expect is missing — your role doesn't grant view on it. Ask an admin to update your role under Roles & permissions.

Note: Once signed in, you don't paste any token to use the API. The in-dashboard developer consoles mint a first-party token from your session automatically.
