octonote login opens octonote.ai in your browser. Click Authorize and the page hands a token to the CLI waiting on your computer. If your browser blocks that, the page shows the token so you can paste it into the terminal.
Agents and CI that can’t open a browser use a token from Settings → CLI & agents, set as OCTONOTE_TOKEN.
What a token can do
- Anything you can do in the app, except create more tokens or delete your account.
- Tokens are stored hashed, so you see each one only once. Revoke any of them in Settings → CLI & agents, or with
octonote token revoke. octonote logoutrevokes this computer’s token. Sign-in is kept in~/.octonote/config.json, readable only by you.
