A BOINC Account Manager is a 3rd party website through which you can set up your BOINC, attach to multiple projects at the same time and in the case of Grid Republic also download a BOINC version with everything you set up pre-installed.

Comparison between options:

Without an Account Manager:
- Find BOINC projects by word-of-mouth or using a search engine.
- Attach to a project by bringing up the 'Attach Project Wizard' in the BOINC Manager, and entering the URL and your email address and password. You must do this separately at each of your computers.
- Change your account details on each project web site, separately.
- Set resource shares at each project web site, separately.
- Create/join/quit teams at each project web site, separately.

With account manager:
- See all BOINC projects, old and new, listed and described at the account manager.
- Attach to a project with one mouse click. If you have multiple computers, all of them will be attached.
- Change your account details (name, email address, password) in one web page, at the account manager.
- Set resource shares for all projects in one web page, at the account manager.
- Create/join/quit teams in one web page, at the account manager.

BAM assists you in creating and managing your BOINC project accounts and helps you with setting preferences, joining or creating teams, connecting your computers to projects, and many more.

Whether you're a new or an existing BOINC user, BAM will help you get the most out of BOINC.

If you are new to BOINC, you can start BOINC right here and create your BAM account. Just enter your information on the registration page and after activating the account you can start with selecting the projects you want to support. The account information you use for BAM will be used to create accounts for you at your chosen projects.
Download the BOINC software (necessary) from here, install it and attach it to BAM (instructions). You are into science now!
A step by step instruction is at the bottom of this page.

If you are an existing user then the projects where you already have an account will be imported into BAM when you create a BAM account. These projects can now be managed from BAM (like setting preferences or resource shares). You can attach your existing hosts to BAM (instructions) and control them from BAM.

GridRepublic members run a screensaver that allows their computers to work on public-interest research projects when the machines are not otherwise in use. This screensaver does not affect performance of the host computer any more than an ordinary screensaver does.

By aggregating idle resources from users around the world, we create a massive supercomputer.
