How do I sign in to Wrenbase?

Wrenbase uses magic links, so there's no password. Go to the sign-in page, enter the email on your account, request your link, and click it in the email to land back in your workspace. The link is single-use and expires after a short window, and requesting a new one deactivates any older link.

What's the difference between my account and my organization in Wrenbase?

Your account is how you sign in: it holds your email, name, role, and preferences. Your organization is the business, holding the business name and logo, invoices, clients and vendors, the plan, and the members. Almost everything you see is scoped to the organization, and coworkers at the same business share one organization but keep separate accounts.

Getting started · Wrenbase Docs

Getting started

Wrenbase is business software with a lighter personal mode. Most people use it to run a business; you can also use it just for yourself, as an inbox for the bills you receive. This page covers signing up, signing in, the short setup that follows, and how accounts and organizations fit together.

Your first few minutes

Free for 30 days

New businesses start with 30 days of Wrenbase’s full features, free and with no card required. After that you move to the free plan automatically unless you choose a paid plan, so there’s nothing to cancel and no surprise charge. See wrenbase.com/pricing for what each plan includes.

Signing up

In business mode, accounts belong to the business and a business admin owns them: the admin creates accounts for the team, sets each person’s role, and closes accounts when someone leaves. In personal mode, there’s no business to join and no admin above you; the account is yours and you’re your own admin.

Starting a new business. Go to the sign-in page, enter your work email, and open the link we send. That first sign-in creates your business, makes you its admin, and drops you into onboarding. You add the rest of your team afterward.
Joining a business you were invited to. An admin adds you first. Signing in with that email connects you to their workspace with the role they gave you, and they manage your access from there.

While Wrenbase is in early access, starting a new business may be invite-only. If your email isn’t on the list yet, requesting a link tells you so and points you to a short request form.

Signing in

Sign-in uses magic links, so there’s no password to create or remember.

Go to the Wrenbase sign-in page.
Enter the email on your account.
Request your link and open the email.
Click the link and you land back in your workspace.

The link is single-use and expires after a short window. If it doesn’t show up, check spam and promotions, make sure you used the email on your account, then request a fresh one. The newest link is the one that works; older ones stop the moment you ask for a new one.

Onboarding

After your first sign-in, Wrenbase walks you through a short setup that shapes your workspace. It remembers where you left off if you step away. The first question is how you plan to use Wrenbase:

Send invoices and get paid. The full billing workflow, and the path most businesses take.
Understand my numbers. Drop in a spreadsheet of past invoices or clients and Wrenbase reads it back as margins and cash flow.
Receive and pay bills. A lighter setup for people who mostly get billed. No business identity to fill in.

On the business paths, Wrenbase asks for your business name, a contact name and email, your country (which sets your currency), and your industry. Industry isn’t a label we sell against; it’s how Wrenbase speaks your language, so a contractor sees “job” where a consultant sees “engagement.” You can change it later.

On the invoicing path, you also send a real first invoice during setup, so you leave with something done rather than an empty dashboard. Nothing here is permanent; it all lives in your settings.

Accounts and organizations

Wrenbase has two layers of identity that are easy to conflate:

Your account is how you sign in. It holds the email you sign in with, your name, your role, and your preferences.
Your organization is the business. It holds the business name and logo, the invoices, the clients and vendors, the plan, and the members.

Almost everything you see is scoped to the organization, not your personal account. If two people work at the same business, they share one organization but have separate accounts. If you’re using Wrenbase as a personal inbox, you’re simply the only person in your own organization.

Today there are two roles: admin and member. Admins can do everything, including managing accounts and billing. Members can create and send invoices but can’t change billing or manage other people. Most one-person businesses just need one admin.

Contacts: the clients and vendors your work references
Invoicing: send your first invoice
Account and plans: the trial, roles, and billing
