# Connect accounts

You sign in on each platform's own page. Locally, it returns to `http://127.0.0.1:3851` and tokens go into your OS keychain. They never reach our servers.

PlatformSetupBlueskyNoneMastodonNoneXYour own X developer appLinkedInYour own LinkedIn developer app
On [Statuz Cloud
](/docs/cloud) no developer app is needed.

## Bluesky

```
statuz accounts connect --platform bluesky
```
Copy
On your own PDS: add `--server` with your handle (`--server alice.example.com`) or your PDS URL.

## Mastodon

```
statuz accounts connect --platform mastodon --server mastodon.social
```
Copy
Use your server's domain.

## X developer app

- Open [developer.x.com
](https://developer.x.com/), then your app's User authentication settings → Set up.

- Permissions: Read and write.

- Type: Native App.

- Callback URI: `http://127.0.0.1:3851/callback/x`

- Website URL: any site you own.

- Copy the OAuth 2.0 Client ID. Statuz doesn't need the Client Secret.

Scopes Statuz requests: `tweet.read`, `tweet.write`, `users.read`, `offline.access`, `media.write`.
Terminal
```
statuz config set --key x.client-id --value <client id>
statuz accounts connect --platform x
```

## LinkedIn developer app

- Create an app at [linkedin.com/developers
](https://www.linkedin.com/developers/apps). It needs a company page; yours works.

- Products: add Share on LinkedIn and Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect.

- Auth → Redirect URL: `http://127.0.0.1:3851/callback/linkedin`

- Copy the Client ID and Primary Client Secret.

Terminal
```
statuz config set --key linkedin.client-id --value <client id>
statuz config set --key linkedin.client-secret --value <client secret>
statuz accounts connect --platform linkedin
```

## No browser

Add `--no-browser` to print the sign-in link. Open it on the same computer.

## Manage
Terminal
```
statuz accounts list
statuz accounts check
statuz accounts default --account @you.bsky.social
statuz accounts move --account @you.bsky.social --position 1
statuz accounts remove --account @you.bsky.social
```

- `check` tests every sign-in now. `statuz status` also flags accounts that need reconnecting.

- `default` sets which account `--to bluesky` (or `x`, `mastodon`, `linkedin`) means.

- `move` changes the order accounts show in, here and in the Mac app.

- `remove` deletes the tokens. Posts that only went to it become drafts.

Secrets live in the keychain, not `~/.statuz/config.json`. See them with `statuz config list`; clear one with `statuz config unset --key linkedin.client-secret`.
