Obedience App Alternative With No Account: Devotion Compared
Obedience defined the D/s task app category and now also runs in the browser and in nine languages. The biggest difference lies elsewhere: Obedience uses an email login, Devotion works with no account at all. The honest head-to-head, including a 15-minute switching guide.
What Obedience does well
Fairness first: Obedience is the best-known app of its kind for good reasons. As the original "BDSM habit tracker" it has offered a mature system of tasks, rewards and sanctions for years. The app is stable, feature-rich, runs on iOS, Android and in the browser, is available in nine languages and supports multiple partners — plus a large, active user base. If you have no problem with an email login, you get a solid tool.
Three reasons to switch
1. No account instead of an email login
Obedience uses an email login. Devotion removes the concept entirely: one partner creates a code, the other enters it — no email, no name, no registration. There is simply no account that could be leaked, hacked or linked to your identity. For many couples this is the deciding argument. More on this in privacy in D/s apps.
2. In the browser without signing in
Both apps now run in the browser. Devotion needs no sign-in for it: open the page, enter the code, done — on iPhone, any Android device, tablet or computer. No login form, no saved credentials, usable even on a shared tablet or a work machine. If you want the native experience, the iPhone app is on the App Store; an Android version via Google Play is in preparation.
3. Separate connections for more than two people
Obedience now supports multiple partners too. Devotion solves this with a multi-dom and a multi-sub mode: every connection is its own strictly separated thread with its own tasks and points. In the multi-dom mode, the primary dom invites additional doms and keeps full oversight — each invited dom only sees his own thread with the sub.

What "no account" means in practice
Data breach scenario: When a service with accounts gets hacked, email addresses surface — along with the fact that their owners use a BDSM app. Exactly such leaks have caused real damage on dating and lifestyle platforms. With Devotion this link cannot exist: there is no identity database for you to appear in.
Curious-eyes scenario: On a shared tablet or family computer, you do not want login forms with saved credentials. Devotion in the browser leaves nothing behind but a history entry you can delete — and the app itself is PIN-protected.
Break-up scenario: Honest planning includes this one. Without an account there is no profile to delete, no data to request, no identity to untangle. Delete the code, done.
Where Obedience remains the better choice
- You need a native Android app from the Play Store today. Devotion's Android app is in preparation; the web app bridges the gap full-featured, but if a store app is non-negotiable, Obedience delivers now.
- You are deep in the Obedience community and exchange templates and task lists with other users.
- You run a finely tuned long-term Obedience setup — switching only pays off if privacy really matters to you.
How to switch in 15 minutes
- Take stock (5 min): Review your Obedience tasks and mark the 10–15 you actually use. Switching is the perfect moment to drop dead weight.
- Create a code (1 min): Open getdevotion.app/app in any browser. One partner creates the shared code, the other enters it — connected.
- Recreate tasks (5 min): Carry over tasks with point values. Daily and weekly repeats renew automatically.
- Define rewards (3 min): Reuse what worked or grab ideas from reward systems in D/s relationships.
- Run the first week: Use the Sunday feedback ritual to see what needs adjusting.
Other Obedience alternatives, briefly
- SubTasks: free to use (Pro subscription optional), gamified (streaks, achievements), with an Obedience import assistant — but also account-based.
- Kneel: for formalized dynamics with written agreements, consequence management and check-ins — also runs in the browser but requires an account; better suited to experienced couples.
- Bond: visually strong but iOS-only — both partners need an iPhone.
