The problem

Sound familiar?

Our everyday life is full of repetitive chores nobody wants to do. DOTOG shows everyone who takes on what, and repeats them automatically.

Everyday task: shopping

Grocery run. Again.

No bread, no milk, weekend ruined. List, car out, queue at the till, you again.

Same thing again today?
Everyday task: washing dishes

The dishes eat your time

30 minutes a day loading and unloading. That adds up to 180 hours a year.

I just did that!
Everyday task: cleaning the bathroom

Cleaning the bathroom, put off for three weeks

You remind; they groan. You remind; they groan. An endless loop.

I forgot!
Everyday task: vacuuming

Vacuuming on Sunday

The same fight every week, whose turn, who dodges, who complains.

Why me again?
Everyday task: taking out the bins

Bins out, forgotten again

Walked right past it for the third time today.

You are doing that today!
Everyday task: mowing the lawn

Mowing the lawn, who is doing it?

Saturday, 30 degrees, grass knee-high. The breakfast-table debate escalates to level 3.

Not happening!
The DOTOG solution

Four steps. Then real rewards.

Each step is a small mechanic. Together they make a game the whole family slips into.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know before you start.

What is DOTOG?

DOTOG, where you plan tasks and appointments and kids collect stars for what they finish. They swap the stars for rewards set by the admin, and under 16 they join with a child code.
Which household chores app shows who is doing what?
DOTOG. The admin creates a task and enters who takes it on, and everyone sees what is still open.

What happens to our data?
The app's functions run in Frankfurt, the database in the EU (Belgium and the Netherlands), and according to the privacy policy some service providers also work in the USA. There are no ads and no usage analysis, only pseudonymous crash reports, and you can delete your account yourself in the app.

Safety

Child-safe because we are parents ourselves

We build DOTOG as parents, for families. That is why we deliberately leave out what makes many popular children's apps unacceptable according to Stiftung Warentest: contact with strangers, advertising, and purchase pressure.

Deliberately left out

  • ✕No chat with strangers. Closed groups, no chat between members, no friend requests from outside.
  • ✕No ads to children. No ads, no promotional push, no hidden advertising.
  • ✕No ad tracking. No advertising IDs, no sharing with ad networks.
  • ✕No purchase pressure. No loot boxes, no dark patterns, children cannot buy anything.

What we do provide

  • ✓Data minimisation. For children, no email address, no location, no real name. We store a nickname, an avatar and what is created in the app: group membership, tasks, stars, streak, rewards.
  • ✓Safeguarded processing. Data is processed on servers in the European Union; where individual service providers process it in the USA, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses apply. Processing under the GDPR.
  • ✓Parents decide. Child accounts only exist once an admin has confirmed consent by ticking a box.
  • ✓AI with a safety filter. The optional BuddyChat blocks sensitive topics, and the admin can disable it for each child.
