This page is about Raven Pro accounts. The open-source version doesn’t require sign-in - you provide your own API keys and everything runs locally.

Signing In

Raven Pro supports two sign-in methods:
  1. Click “Get Started” on the welcome screen
  2. Your browser opens to Google’s sign-in page
  3. Sign in with your Google account
  4. A page confirms “Opening Raven” and redirects back to the app
  5. You’re signed in - the app continues to the next onboarding step
Authentication happens in your browser for security - your password is never entered inside the app itself.

What Happens After Sign-In

Once signed in, Raven:
  • Sets up managed API keys (no key configuration needed)
  • Syncs your sessions, modes, and documents from the cloud
  • Activates Pro features like meeting detection and Fast/Deep toggle
  • Remembers your session across app restarts

Session Expiry

Your sign-in session stays active for a long time and refreshes automatically in the background. If it ever expires (e.g., after a very long period of inactivity), you’ll see a “Session expired” message and need to sign in again. No data is lost.

Account Settings

From Settings > Profile, you can:
  • Change your display name - shown in the overlay and dashboard header
  • Upload a profile picture - includes a crop editor, or uses your Google avatar by default
  • Change your password - if you signed up with email
  • Delete your account - permanently removes your account and all cloud data

Signing Out

Click your avatar in the dashboard header and select “Sign out”. This:
  • Signs you out of the current device
  • Hides the overlay
  • Returns you to the sign-in screen
Your local session data remains on the device. Sign back in to resume cloud sync.
