Getting started

This guide walks you through installing OterApp and creating your first account.

1. Install OterApp

Pick the platform you want to use:

  • Web — open oterapp.com  in your browser. Nothing to install.
  • Android — install from Google Play (link coming soon) or sideload the latest APK from the Releases page .
  • Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) — download the installer for your OS from the Releases page .

All platforms sync to the same account, so you can start on the desktop and pick up on your phone.

2. Create an account

Sign-up flow on mobile and desktop (placeholder)

  1. Open the app and tap Register.
  2. Enter an email and password.
  3. Check your email for a verification code (check spam if it doesn’t arrive in 2 minutes).
  4. Enter the code in the app.
  5. Sign in with your email and password.

Email verification is required once and enforced — you won’t be able to log in until your email is verified.

3. Set up your first surface

Once signed in, you land on an empty dashboard. The sidebar on the left lists every feature. Start with something simple:

You don’t have to use everything. The sidebar lets you toggle which features are visible — hide what you don’t need.

4. Guided tours (new)

The first time you open Dashboard, Tasks, Habits, Projects, or Timers, a short 3-step guided tour points at the key parts of the screen — the summary card, the filter you’ll use most, the primary action. Each tour runs at most once per feature. Tap Skip any time to dismiss it.

Tours across the Life, Money, and Hub features are on the roadmap.

You can retake the app-wide walkthrough from Settings → Take the tour (this replays the main-nav intro, not the per-feature tours).
