Creating Your Account

PrimeCal starts with a compact sign-up form, then moves immediately into a six-step onboarding wizard. The goal is to collect only the information needed to make the calendar usable from the first session.

Step 1: Open Sign Up

1. Open the PrimeCal sign-in page.
2. Switch to Sign up.
3. Fill the three visible fields.
4. Submit Create account.

Registration Fields

Field	Required	What to enter	Rules and constraints
Username	Yes	Your public account name	3 to 64 characters. Use letters, numbers, dots, or underscores. Must be unique.
Email address	Yes	Your sign-in email	Must be a valid email address and must be unique.
Password	Yes	A secure password	Minimum 6 characters. The password helper must show a valid result before you continue.

What Happens After Registration

After the account is created, PrimeCal signs you in and opens the onboarding wizard automatically. Until that wizard is finished, the product keeps you on the setup path instead of dropping you into the main workspace.

Step 2: Complete The Six Wizard Steps

1. What Brings You To PrimeCal

• Optional persona choice: AI Developer/Power User, Family/Household, or Service Studio/Solo Pro
• Entirely skippable — "Skip for now" leaves your account exactly as it would have been before this step existed
• Picking one pre-sets your experience mode, notification mode pack, and default landing page once setup completes, and starts a couple of modules you likely won't need yet as hidden from your navigation; you can change all four later in Settings — see Choosing Your Workspace

2. Welcome Profile

• Optional first name
• Optional last name
• Optional Gravatar-based profile image

3. Personalization

• Language
• Timezone
• Time format
• Week start day
• Default calendar view
• Theme color

4. Privacy And Consent

• Privacy policy acceptance: required
• Terms of service acceptance: required
• Product updates by email: optional

You cannot complete setup until both required checkboxes are accepted.

5. Calendar Preferences

• Main use case: personal, business, team, or other
• Optional request to connect Google Calendar later
• Optional request to connect Microsoft Calendar later

6. Review

PrimeCal shows a summary of the choices you made — including the workspace you picked in step 1, if any — so you can confirm them before Complete Setup.

If your persona choice in step 1 started any module as hidden, the confirmation screen that follows Complete Setup names which ones and reminds you they can be brought back from Settings → Modules at any time.

After Setup

When the wizard finishes, PrimeCal sends you into the main app with:

• your profile basics saved
• your locale and view preferences applied
• privacy acceptance recorded
• a default Tasks calendar already created for you

Your next step should be Initial Setup, where you create a normal calendar and organize your sidebar.

Best Practices

• Pick the timezone carefully on first run because it affects every event you create afterward.
• Use a distinct username you are comfortable sharing with collaborators.
• Treat the optional sync toggles as later setup choices, not something you must finish before using the app.
• Go back to the Profile Page later if you want to refine labels, focus behavior, or appearance.
