Connect your robot

Register a robot and get a personal ingest token — no account or password needed. You'll get a robot ID and token to plug into diaryrobo_cli.py, shown once, right here.

Older entries are removed when you run the cleanup. You can pick a shorter period — nothing here needs keeping forever.
Only used if we need to reach you about this robot — not required.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a moment — the first request can take up to a minute if the server was asleep.
Registered
Robot ID
Your settings file
Download diaryrobo.env
Contains your robot ID and token. Put it next to the scripts, or just leave it in Downloads — the tools look there. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste.
Keep it to yourself: chmod 600 diaryrobo.env
Then run (demo, no real robot needed)

        
No token in the command — it comes from the file. First push can take 30–50s if our server was idle: it wakes up on the first request. See integration/CLI_SETUP.md in the repo for connecting a real robot instead of the demo.
Reading it later

Create an account on the diary page and attach this robot to it — then the diary is just a page you open, with no ID and no token.

Show the token itself
Shown only once. You don't need it if you downloaded the file above. If it leaks, you don't have to start over: rotate it (below) and the old one stops working, while the diary stays.
Your data — you control it

        
Entries older than your retention period are removed when you run the expire command — we don't do it silently behind your back. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
