Create your account
Sign up with Google, Microsoft or Apple, what we ask on your first visit, and how to get back in later.
On the web, new Due Gooder accounts come from Google, Microsoft or Apple. There's no password to make.
Sign up
Open app.duegooder.com/sign-up. The heading reads "Sign up for Due Gooder 🩵".
Choose Sign in with Google, Sign in with Microsoft or Sign in with Apple. All three read "Sign in with" even here; any of them creates your account if you don't have one yet.
Finish the provider's own screen. Google asks for calendar access at the same time, which is what lets us put your classes and due dates on your Google Calendar later.
You land in setup, the ten screens below. Once you're through it, signing in takes you straight to your dashboard, or to the Due Gooder page you were originally headed for.
The email box signs you in, it doesn't sign you up
The Email field under the "OR" divider on the sign-in page sends a sign-in link to an account that already exists. It can't create one. An address we've never seen gets "No account uses that email — sign up with Google, Microsoft or Apple", which means head to the sign-up page and pick a provider.
If you do have an account, enter your address and choose Continue with Email. We reply "Check your email for the login link"; the email's subject is "Sign in to Due Gooder 🔒". Open the link, then choose Complete Sign In on the "Confirm Sign In" screen.
School addresses and sign-in links
Some schools block our sign-in emails, which is why the page says "Some .edu addresses block sign-in links — use a personal email or Google." If the link never arrives, go back and use a provider button.
If your school signs in with Microsoft
Some schools' addresses always go through Microsoft. Type one into the Email field, choose Continue with Email, and instead of a link you'll see "Your school signs in with Microsoft — taking you there" before we hand you to Microsoft's sign-in screen. Creating the account works the same way, with Sign in with Microsoft.
What setup asks for
Setup runs ten screens, marked "Step 1 of 10" through "Step 10 of 10". Back is on every screen but disabled on the first. Most screens move on with Next; the last one reads Upload & finish or Skip for now, and on the three preview screens the buttons sit above the preview.
The screens ask for:
- What school do you attend? — start typing and pick a suggestion, or type your school's name yourself.
- What's your major? and When do you graduate? — the year list covers this year and the five after it.
- Make it yours — your avatar and its background color. We pick one at random; keep it or choose another.
- Pick your color palette — the set of colors your classes draw from. There are 28 palettes, starting on Default 🌟. You can change it later with Color Preset on your dashboard.
- Three preview screens — your dashboard, flashcards and practice tests, and reminders on your phone. Nothing is created here, and we don't ask for notification permission yet.
- Where did you hear about us? — pick one. Next here saves your school, major, graduation year, avatar and where you heard about us. If an error appears, those details may not have been saved even though the next screen opens.
- Upload a syllabus — the last screen, and the only optional one. Drop in one file (PDF, DOCX, TXT or MD) and choose Upload & finish, or choose Skip for now.
A syllabus here doesn't create the class yet
Upload & finish takes you to the review screen, where you check the class and the dates we pulled out. They only exist once you approve them; see upload a syllabus. Choose Skip for now and your dashboard opens on "No classes yet" with an Add Class button. Free accounts keep two classes at a time; paid plans have no limit.
Getting back in later
Open the sign-in page and use the same button you signed up with. If a Due Gooder page sent you to sign-in, we return you there afterwards rather than to your dashboard. To sign out, use Sign out in the header.
On your phone, sign in to the mobile app with the same account. See iOS or Android.
