Syntic Code and Desktop sign-ins
Syntic Code and Syntic Desktop sign in through your browser. You approve the connection on syntic.ai, and the app gets its own sign-in that you can review and end later.
What happens when you sign in from an app
- The app opens your browser on syntic.ai. Sign in as usual.
- If you belong to more than one organization, choose one under Select organization.
- A page says the app would like to connect to your Syntic organization and lists what it will be able to do. For Syntic Code this includes:
- Access your Syntic AI profile information
- Contribute to your Syntic AI subscription usage
- Access your Syntic Code CLI sessions
- Use the Syntic AI models on your behalf
- Choose Authorize. The browser hands the result back to the app automatically. If it can’t, a page shows a code to paste into the app.
The app never sees anything you type on syntic.ai. It receives its own access, which renews in the background.
Syntic Code and Desktop need a paid plan. On Free, sign-in is refused with “Your account is a free one. Please upgrade to use Syntic Code.”
How long a sign-in lasts
The app’s access is short-lived (about an hour) and renews itself automatically. The sign-in behind it lasts 90 days and is extended each time it’s used, so an app you use regularly stays signed in, and one you stop using signs itself out.
See and end app sign-ins
In the Syntic app, open Settings → API Access and scroll to Connected CLIs. Each entry shows its name (usually “Syntic Code CLI”), when it was last active and where it first connected. Choose Revoke to end one. If there are none, you’ll see “No active sessions.”
If an entry is still listed after you revoke it, use Sign out everywhere, which ends every Syntic Code and Desktop sign-in on your account.
To sign out on the computer itself, run syntic auth logout in a terminal.
Approving changes from an app
Sometimes an app asks you to confirm a change to your account. Your browser shows a Confirm it’s you page; see Confirm it’s you for sensitive actions.
