Everything between installing the app and your first uploaded clip. It takes about two minutes the first time, and nothing after that: your phone stays set up for every task that follows.
Easy to set up with any phone: mount it, hit record, and the app guides the rest.
STEP 1 OF 6
Install the app and sign in
Download EgoCash on iOS or Android and sign in with the email from your approval message. Your ID check happens here once, and it is the only paperwork in the whole process.
STEP 2 OF 6
Set your scenes
Tick the rooms and objects you actually have: kitchen, laundry, tools, plants, pets. Tasks are matched to this list, so the more honest it is, the better the tasks you get sent.
STEP 3 OF 6
Mount the phone
Clip your phone into the free head strap we ship you, rear camera facing out, just above your eyeline. No strap yet? Any chest mount or a propped-up phone works for your first clips.
STEP 4 OF 6
Frame the shot
Open the task and the app draws a target box on screen. Line your hands and the object up inside it, and live hints tell you to raise, lower or steady the camera before you start.
STEP 5 OF 6
Record the task
Hit record and do the chore at your normal pace, both hands in frame, one clean take of four to eight seconds. No acting and no tidying up first: the real mess is what labs are paying for.
STEP 6 OF 6
Review it, then upload
Watch your own clip back and tap send only if you are happy: nothing leaves the phone before that. Graded within 24 hours, and a rejection always comes with a reason and a reshoot offer.
