Getting started ↓ Give feedback

For all users. GDPR-compliant, servers in the EU, tracking only with consent.

Quick start

Ready in four steps

This gets you into DOTOG within minutes. The admin builds the group, members join with a code. Tasks and rewards only appear after the group step.

1

Create an account

Open the app, register with email and pick an avatar. Children under 16 are added by a parent.

2

Create or join a group

Admin: create a group and share an invite code or QR. Member: join with that code.

3

First task

The admin creates a task with stars and assigns it to the group members. Whoever does it ticks it off and earns stars.

4

First reward

The admin sets a real reward. Members redeem it with collected stars, the admin confirms and hands the reward over.

Guide

Operating the app step by step

Open the topic you need. Each section briefly explains how it works.

How do I create a task?
Tasks are created by the admin. Open task management, tap plus, enter a title and stars, and assign the task to a member.
  • Recurring: set repetition to daily or weekly, then the task reappears automatically.
  • Editing: tasks are not edited afterwards. Delete and recreate them, so the state stays clear for everyone.
How do I complete a task and earn stars?
The Today page shows your open tasks for the day. Tap the check on a task, then it counts as done and the stars land on your account. One tap is enough, a brief loading moment is normal.
How do rewards work?
The admin creates rewards with a star price. Members redeem a reward once they have enough stars. The request goes to the admin, who approves it, then the stars are deducted.
What are stars, streaks and the podium?
You earn stars for completed tasks, they are the currency for rewards. A streak counts how many days in a row you keep going. The podium shows your group ranking, you see your own place.
How do I use the calendar and appointments?
In the calendar you see group appointments and your completed tasks. Appointments can send a reminder as a push notification in advance, so nothing slips through.
What is the Buddy chat and who controls it?
Buddy is a friendly AI helper, mainly for children. It has a safety filter and is optional. The admin can enable or disable the Buddy chat per child.
How do I turn on notifications?
Allow notifications for DOTOG on first launch or in your device settings. Then you get push for new tasks, rewards and appointment reminders, even when the app is closed.
How do I switch language?
In settings you choose the app language. DOTOG launches with German and English, more languages follow.
How do I set up a child account?
A parent or admin invites the child. For children under 16, parental consent is required (Art. 8 GDPR). From the child only a nickname, avatar and date of birth are stored. More on the child safety page and in the privacy policy.
How do I export my data or delete my account?
In settings you can export your data and delete your account. Deletion removes your personal data. Details and the web route are on delete account.
What does DOTOG cost and what do the subscriptions add?
Getting started is free. Optional subscriptions (Plus, Pro, Ultra) raise limits, such as more members or tasks. Exact prices are in the App Store. Purchases run securely through Google Play or Apple, children cannot buy anything.
Who can do what

DOTOG: admin versus member

DOTOG has two roles. The admin builds the group and controls tasks and rewards. Members join, complete tasks and redeem rewards.

Function Admin Member
Create a group✓joins
Invite and remove members✓✗
Create a task✓✗
Delete a task✓✗
Tick off (complete) a task✓✓

Redeem a reward (request)✓✓
Approve a redemption✓✗

Buddy chat (AI helper)✓✓ (child: admin enables)

 As of the current app version. Deliberately not included: a task cannot be edited afterwards, only created or deleted. A member's role or stars also cannot be changed by hand in the app; stars come only from completed tasks and redeemed rewards.
Help & solutions

Common questions and quick fixes

Maybe your answer is already here. If not, write to us below.

I do not see any tasks, why?
Usually the group step is missing. Tasks and rewards only appear once you have created a group (admin) or joined one (member, with a code or QR from the admin).
How do I join a group?
You need the invite code or QR from your admin. Enter it when joining. After that you see the group's tasks and rewards.
A push notification does not arrive.
Check that notifications for DOTOG are allowed in your device settings and that battery saver is not blocking the app. Push works both when the app is open and when it is closed.
I forgot my account password.
Use the reset password function at login or on the management page, you receive an email. If no mail arrives, check your spam folder or write to us below.
How do I report a bug or suggest something?
Via the feedback form on this page: choose bug, wish or question, write briefly and send. Your message reaches us directly.
Is DOTOG safe for children?
Yes. Closed groups without contact to strangers, no ads and no tracking for children, data on EU servers and parental consent for child accounts. More on child safety.
