Tapeo

Platform and account

Accounts and settings

Signing in, the Account page, deleting your account, client tokens, and what is public.

Your account#

  • Tapeo currently provides email and password accounts, sign-in, account creation, and password reset. Projects are associated with the signed-in account.
  • Email verification and password-reset delivery require the deployment's email settings.
  • Design tools are shared and enabled for all users; the header's Design tools panel reports server-managed runner status, and users do not add tools or start runners themselves.
  • Select your name in the header to open the Account page: your details, plan, and how many projects and files you have.

Delete your account#

Use Delete account on the Account page and confirm with your password.

Immediate and permanent

It immediately and permanently removes your projects and everything in them (files, history, simulations, tool runs, layouts, Architect chats), your Architect attachments, usage history, feedback, waitlist sign-ups, and sign-in details, and signs you out. Download anything you want to keep first.

Client tokens#

  • The Account page also lets you create and revoke a 90-day project token for a local client.
  • The token is shown once. Keep it secret; it can edit your projects and start workflows.
  • Revoked tokens stop working on the next request, and account deletion removes them.

Connect GitHub#

Connect your GitHub account so Tapeo can create repositories for you, such as the one a Tiny Tapeout submission needs. It is optional.

  • On the Account page, under GitHub, choose Connect GitHub. GitHub shows what Tapeo asks to do; approve it there.
  • Then Install Tapeo on GitHub: GitHub lets Tapeo work only in accounts where it is installed. You choose all your repositories or only some, and can change that on GitHub at any time.
  • Tapeo stores its GitHub access encrypted and never shows it in the browser. Disconnect GitHub removes it and withdraws Tapeo's access on GitHub; repositories already created stay yours.
  • With GitHub connected, Import from GitHub on the home page starts a project from one of your repositories: Tapeo copies its design files at the latest commit (your repository stays as it is) and shows what it found before creating anything.
  • With GitHub connected, a design that passed the Tiny Tapeout precheck gets Create public GitHub repo in Workflow → Setup → Shuttle submission: Tapeo makes the repo from Tiny Tapeout's template with your files and shows the link to paste at app.tinytapeout.com, and GitHub's checks. Tapeo never submits or pays for you.

What is public#

  • Docs, the plans page, and the example projects are public. Creating and changing your own projects requires an account.
  • The Privacy Policy explains what is collected and how to get a copy of your data or delete your account; the Terms cover using the service.
