My invitation panel. Find your own command in Settings → Account → Invites. Terminal capture rendered with Freeze.

Know someone who'd feel at home here? late.sh now gives you a small reason to make the introduction. Well, **50,000 chips** isn't that small.

Open **Settings with Ctrl+O**, choose **Account**, then **Invites**. You'll find a personal SSH command to share. It looks like this, with your own code in place of the placeholder:

```text
ssh invite-YOURCODE@late.sh
```

Your friend uses that command for their **first connection**, and their new account is attached to your invitation. Already joined the ordinary way? They can still enter your code in **Settings → Account → Invites during their first seven days**, provided they haven't already named an inviter.

The reward comes later, **once they become an active regular**. You receive **50,000 chips**, and they receive a **10,000-chip welcome bonus**. A quick login doesn't trigger the payout, and simply leaving a session connected doesn't count as active participation. They don't have to be a chatterbox, though: playing and using the app count too.

Your invitation panel keeps track of the people you've brought along. Rewards are limited to **three paid invitations per calendar month, measured in UTC**; an otherwise qualified invitation above that cap waits for a later month.

Think of the friend who'd enjoy the music, the games, or a terminal full of interesting people. Send them your command and save them a seat.
