# Getting started

> What you see after you sign up, how to add the first task, and when invite appears.

After you create an account you land on **Today**. That list is the product. A small project called **Meet Done Bear** is already on it. Those tasks are real — complete them, change them, or delete the project whenever you like.

## Adding a task

Add a task with **New task** in the footer. A new task goes to [Today](/help/views) unless you send it somewhere else.

An empty Today is just the icon. There is nothing else to click; the footer is how you start.

If you are emptying your head rather than planning the day, send the task to the [Inbox](/help/views) and decide later.

On iPhone, Siri and the Shortcuts app can add a task too. [Shortcuts on iPhone](/help/shortcuts) has the phrases and three starter recipes.

## Attachments

Open a task on the web to attach files or images to it — a receipt, a screenshot, a reference document. They stay with the task and sync to your other devices, though attaching one is currently a web-app action; you'll see attachments already on a task from the iOS app and the CLI, but adding one there is coming later.

## Dark mode

Done Bear follows your device's light or dark setting on its own, so there is nothing to turn on. To pin it one way instead, open **Settings**, then **Preferences**, and set **Appearance** to Light or Dark.

Appearance is saved per device. A dark desktop app and a light phone are fine.

## Making things bigger

In the desktop app, press Ctrl and `+` or `-` (Cmd on a Mac) to zoom, and Ctrl/Cmd `0` to go back to the usual size. That choice is saved on that computer and comes back after you close the app.

In a browser tab the browser's own zoom still uses those keys.

On iPhone, Done Bear follows the text size you set in iOS, including the larger accessibility sizes. Change it under **Settings**, **Display & Brightness**, **Text Size**. To make only Done Bear bigger, add **Text Size** to Control Center, open it while Done Bear is on screen, and choose **Done Bear Only**.

## Desktop on Linux

Install the `.rpm` on Fedora, or the `.deb` on Debian/Ubuntu. The AppImage is the portable build.

If an existing AppImage exits immediately with `Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER`, the host Wayland library needs to load first:

```bash
LD_PRELOAD=$(ldconfig -p | awk '/libwayland-client.so.0/ {print $NF; exit}') ./Done*.AppImage
```

`--disable-gpu` does not fix that error. Newer AppImages prefer the host library on their own; Fedora can also switch to the `.rpm`.

## Invite

**Invite** appears when you create a team workspace. You can skip it and share later. From Settings → Members, an owner can also let anyone with a verified address on their work domain join without an invite code.

Owners and admins can also copy a share link from Members (or from a project's members page). Anyone who opens that link while signed in joins the workspace. A project share link also adds them to that project.

## If you already keep a list

If you already keep a list in the playground, or in Things 3, you can bring it across. Meet Done Bear is removed so it does not sit on top of your list.

## Free

[Free](/help/plans) is a plan, not a trial. There is no expiry and no card.
