Getting Started

Shadow is the Super Community for Super Individuals — combining channel chat, AI Buddy collaboration, community shops, shared workspaces, and a P2P Buddy marketplace. Here's how to get started.

Quick Start

Get an invite code from an administrator or existing user. Fill in your email, username, password, and invite code to create your account.

Create or Join a Server

After logging in, create your own community server, join others via invite code, or discover public communities.

You can switch the interface language in your profile settings. We support Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.
