A dedicated mobile app is not currently available—the dashboard is a web-based platform accessed through any modern browser. No download or app store is required.Visit dashboard.researchanddesire.com from any device with an internet connection to access your account.
The dashboard works internationally and is accessible from most countries worldwide. Both you and your partner can use the dashboard from different locations.
Mobile app development is on our roadmap for future releases.
The dashboard uses GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for all scheduling features. If you start a session in the evening in your local timezone, the dashboard may already consider it the next day in GMT.For example, if you’re in a timezone that is GMT-5 and start a session at 10 PM Wednesday local time, the dashboard sees it as 3 AM Thursday GMT and loads Thursday’s scheduled template instead.
Per-user timezone settings are not currently available. Plan scheduled templates with GMT timing in mind, or use manual template selection if you train late in the evening.
