A few minutes spent on setup makes every post that follows faster and more on-brand. Here’s the order we recommend.

Create your account

Sign up at dashboard.rheos.app with Sign up with Google, or with an email address and password. Onboarding then asks about your first brand — what you do, who you talk to and how you sound. Finishing it doesn’t put you on the dashboard: Rheos carries straight on into a full-screen chat that builds the brand out with you. Everything else in these guides starts from Home, the first item in the sidebar — go there whenever you want to leave the brand chat.

Pick your plan

Rheos has two self-serve plans. Prices include VAT. Pay annually and you pay for ten months instead of twelve. Pick a plan — from the pricing page, or later from Settings → Billing — and you go through Stripe Checkout. Your card goes on file, there’s nothing to pay on the day, and the first 7 days are free. The trial runs once per account: if you’ve subscribed before, or you’re redeeming a claim link that already includes free time, checkout skips the trial rather than stacking another week on top.
Sign up straight from the dashboard instead and you land on a free, limited account — one business brand, and a low weekly ceiling on how many posts you can publish. It’s somewhere to look around from before you subscribe, not a plan we sell.
See plans for what each one includes.

Find your way around settings

Open Settings from the row of icons at the bottom of the sidebar. There are four pages: Team appears once you’re on a paid plan. Everything else is there from day one.

Your account and sign-in

Open Settings → Account to set your display name and pick an avatar — twelve built-in options, picked rather than uploaded. Sign-in security lives on the same page:
  • Change Password — enter your current password, then the new one twice.
  • Sign-in Methods — shows whether Google and Email & Password are set up on your account.
  • Email Verification — confirm your address, or hit Resend if the link never arrived. Check your junk folder first.
  • Danger Zone — delete your account and its data. There’s no undo.

Connect your socials

Open Settings → Social Accounts. You’ll see a row for your personal account and a row for each business brand, each with a badge — Not connected, a count of what is connected, or an amber needs attention warning. Expand a row to see its connect cards.

Settings → Social Accounts. Expand a brand to see its connect cards — this business brand has all seven available.

A business brand can connect Company Pages (LinkedIn), Instagram (Business or Creator account), Facebook, X (Twitter), Pinterest, Bluesky and Mastodon. Your personal account gets Personal Profile (LinkedIn), X (Twitter), Bluesky and Mastodon. Two of them want details before you select Connect:
  • Bluesky asks for your handle and an app password, which you create at bsky.app/settings/app-passwords.
  • Mastodon asks which instance you’re on, for example mastodon.social.
You only need the platforms you actually post to, and you can add more later. Publishing and scheduling stay switched off for a platform until an account is connected to it.
Threads, TikTok and YouTube Shorts are coming soon. You’ll see all three in the composer’s platform strip, but there’s no way to connect an account to them yet, so nothing can go out to them.
Instagram tokens last about 60 days and Rheos renews them for you in the background. LinkedIn and Facebook usually have to be reconnected by hand, so Rheos flags the brand with needs attention before the connection lapses. Bluesky and Mastodon don’t expire.

Notifications and Inbox

The bell at the bottom of the sidebar opens a short list of recent notifications. Select one to open it in full, or use See all notifications to go to your Inbox. The Inbox has four tabs — All, System, Individual and Unread. Opening a message marks it as read; Mark all read clears the unread count in one go.
Notification delivery is still being rolled out, so your Inbox may stay empty for a while. Don’t rely on it to tell you a post went out — the publish status of every post is on Home, under Content Plan and Drafts & recent.

Invite your team

Settings → Team shows the people in your workspace. Inviting new ones is a Marketing Team feature — the plan covers up to 3 invited teammates. On Social Media Manager the page is still there, but locked, with a View plans button. If you’re the workspace owner, you’ll see an invite card: type an email address, select Send invite, and they get an email with a link to join. Pending invites are listed underneath and you can revoke one at any time. Everyone you invite joins as a Member. Owner and admin aren’t picked at invite time. Owners can also remove a member from the list below.
