Getting started

Go to Kadrenta's site and press Create your account. You need your name, your email address and a password of at least ten characters. A confirmation link lands in your inbox. Open it and you are signed in, with nothing left to fill in again.

During the beta, Kadrenta is not open to everyone. A person reads every request for an account, and you hear back at the address you signed up with the moment you are let in. There is nothing further to do.

If somebody invited you to their studio, you skip this entirely. An invitation is the yes, and the waiting page offers to open it as soon as one exists for your address.

A studio is your workspace. Your projects, your team and your clients live inside it, and nobody outside it sees any of that.

The first time you sign in without an invitation waiting, you land on Name your studio. Type a name and tick a box agreeing to the data processing agreement. That agreement explains what Kadrenta does with the personal data your studio puts in, and who else is involved; it opens in a new tab, so nothing you typed is lost. Press Create studio and you are its owner, on the studio's first seat, with a starter set of standard tasks already sitting on your task list.

If an invitation to somebody else's studio is waiting for you instead, that card appears above the "name your own studio" form. Taking the invitation and starting your own studio are two different things, and there is no way back from the second to the first: once you have a studio of your own, a seat invitation is no longer open to you. So Kadrenta asks you to confirm before you start a studio while an invitation is still open.

Studio names are unique across the platform, but renaming a studio later costs nothing.

Once you are in, the top bar is the same on every page:

• The logo, top left, always takes you home to the dashboard.
• The page names beside it are Kadrenta's main sections: Dashboard, Sales, Contacts, Boards, Review, Transfers, and Admin if you administer the studio. On a narrow screen these fold into a menu button instead of a row.
• The search icon, in the middle of the bar, opens a box in the middle of the screen with results as you type. It searches your projects, shots and tasks by name. Companies, contacts and deals are not in it; they have their own search on the Sales page. Press Enter on the result you meant, or land on /app/search for a page you can send to somebody.
• The + button opens a small menu for making something, a new task or a new project, without having to go anywhere first.
• The bell, at the right end of the row, is your inbox. See Staying informed for what lands there.
• Your own face, at the far right, is both your name (hover it to read it in full) and a menu. Click it and it opens straight to your profile page; underneath sit a link to Admin Console (if you administer the studio) and Sign out.

The dashboard itself is what /app shows you. It opens with a row of counters for what needs your attention. If your studio does sales, a strip of deals and companies whose next step is due today comes next. Then your projects, as a row of tiles you can page through, and then your tasks, split into Mine and Others. Every one of these sections can be folded away from the switches beside the Dashboard heading, so the page can be as short or as full as you want it.

Click your own face in the top bar (or the entry under it) to reach Profile and Settings, a single page in five tabs:

• Site Settings is how Kadrenta behaves for you personally. Nobody else can see or change these. This is where the overdue warning in the top bar, a silenced follow-up question, and visual effects can be turned off.
• Profile is your photo and what you do, the things colleagues see about you.
• Notifications is where each kind of message reaches you; see Staying informed.
• Connections is you, reachable somewhere else: your Discord account, a calendar feed, and your own Claude connection (see The Claude connection).
• Security holds your password and two-factor sign-in.

Reporting a problem is built into the product. There are three ways to open the same small window:

• Alt + right-click anywhere. A window opens over whatever you were looking at and asks "What is wrong here?" You do not have to leave the screen that went wrong to describe it.
• On a phone or tablet, press and hold on the thing you mean, for about half a second, and the same window opens.
• Press "Report something" on your own reporting page at /app/debug, for when what went wrong is not one thing you can point at.

Type what you saw. The first line becomes the title, the rest becomes the body. Press Send (Enter sends, Shift+Enter starts a new line). Before you type anything, the window shows you what it caught: which pattern, which section, which page. Nothing else about the page travels with it, no markup and no field contents. You can add a screenshot to the same window by pasting with Ctrl+V or dropping a file in, whichever door you opened it from.

Once it is filed, it reaches Kadrenta by mail within the minute. Your own copy sits on /app/debug, where every report you have filed carries a status: Open → With Claude → Handled (or Left as is, when it was looked at and nothing changed). You get a notification the moment yours moves to handled.

If you are the owner of your studio, /app/debug shows you the whole studio's drawer instead of only your own reports: every report anybody on your team filed, with filters, and the two buttons that push a finished batch along and check that mail and file storage are configured correctly. At most 150 reports can stand open at once, so a batch gets picked up as one whole rather than trickling in one at a time. That limit only ever stops the owner, and only at the point of pushing the button that clears it. A team member filing a report never runs into it.

You can also always write to Kadrenta directly by mail. The address is in the footer of the help page, and it reaches a person.
