How to use Dazo.

Install & sign in

Dazo is available on iPhone, Android, macOS and Windows. Use the same email and password across every platform — your records and storage mode follow you automatically.

Mobile sign in

Mobile sign up

Desktop login

1. Download Dazo from the App Store, Google Play, or the macOS/Windows installer.
2. Tap Create an account to register, or Sign In if you already have one.
3. Verify your email if prompted, then sign in.

Pick a storage mode

On first launch, Dazo asks where you want your data to live. You can change this any time from Settings.

• Cloud — files live in Firebase Storage and are mirrored across every device you sign into.
• Local / Device — files stay on the device you uploaded them from. Nothing leaves until you say so.

Either mode keeps an offline cache on mobile so your last-seen records and folders remain usable when the network drops. Desktop additionally supports an offline switch that reads from a selected sync folder.

The four use cases

Every record in Dazo belongs to one of four use-case types. Pick the one that fits the work — each type has its own fields and behavior.

Mobile — Create New

Desktop — Create New

Patient

For clinical or service workflows. Captures patient name, phone, age, sex, disease, registration date, avatar, category and custom fields. Each patient becomes a folder that you can drill into and add subfolders, files, audio recordings and more.

Event

For occasions — weddings, shoots, trips, family albums. Captures event name, an optional description, the event date, and a cover image.

Research

A lightweight research folder. Just a title and a date. Drop in anything: PDFs, scans, images, notes, audio, video.

Spreadsheet

For structured data. Give the sheet a title, define your own columns (text, number, or image), and start filling rows. Image cells let you attach photos directly inside the table.

Mobile guide

Dazo on iPhone and Android is the full app — capture, organize, search and sync. The screenshots in this section come straight from the live app.

Home grid

The home grid shows every record you own — patients, events, research and spreadsheets — color-coded by use case. The top of the screen displays your account name and current plan; the floating ＋ opens the Create New picker.

1. Tap Stop when you’re done — the audio uploads in the background.
2. Dazo processes a transcript and summary automatically.
3. Open the audio file from the folder to play it back and read the transcript & summary alongside.

Preview, download & share

Tap any file to open the preview screen. Dazo supports image, PDF and audio previews inline. Use the action bar to:

• Download — saves to your Downloads folder; you can immediately share after download.
• Share — opens your OS share sheet.
• Open with — hand the file off to any installed app.

Offline mode

When the network drops, Dazo switches to cached views automatically. The cached patient list, folders and subfolder file lists remain browsable. A separate Offline Files area shows files you’ve explicitly downloaded.

Settings

Open the profile icon at the top right to land in Settings. From here you can edit your name, check storage usage, manage your subscription, sync to desktop, manage licenses, raise a support ticket, log out, or delete your account.

Dazo for macOS and Windows mirrors mobile but spreads it across a bigger canvas. The left sidebar has three sections: Home, Cloud Sync, and Settings.

Sync Center

On desktop, the second sidebar item is Cloud Sync — this is the Sync Center. It offers two sync methods: Cloud Sync (from Firebase) and WiFi Sync (from a paired mobile device).

Cloud Sync (Firebase Storage → desktop)

Use Cloud Sync when your mobile app is set to Cloud Storage mode.

Cloud Sync screen

1. Open Cloud Sync → Cloud Sync in the Sync Center.
2. Click Browse next to Destination Folder and pick a local folder.
3. Toggle Preserve folder structure to keep the cloud hierarchy.
4. Toggle Merge with existing to combine with files already in the destination.
5. Click Start Cloud Sync. The desktop tracks last-sync time when it completes.

WiFi Sync — same network

Use WiFi Sync to move data directly from your phone to your desktop, without using the cloud. Both devices need to be on the same WiFi network.

Mobile WiFi Sync — Start Server

Mobile Same WiFi setup steps

Desktop WiFi Sync

1. On mobile, open Settings → Sync to Desktop → WiFi Sync.
2. Make sure Same WiFi is selected. Tap Start Server.
3. Note the IP address that appears.
4. On desktop, go to Cloud Sync → WiFi Sync.
5. Tap Auto-Discover or enter the IP manually and click Connect.
6. Click Browse to select a destination folder.
7. Pick the patients or full data set you want, optionally enable Delete files from mobile after sync, then start the sync.

WiFi Sync — mobile hotspot

If you can’t put both devices on the same WiFi, run a mobile hotspot from your phone and have the desktop connect to it.

Mobile Hotspot setup steps

1. Enable Hotspot & Tethering on your phone (Settings → Hotspot & Tethering → Turn ON).
2. Connect your desktop to that hotspot WiFi.
3. In Dazo, open WiFi Sync & switch to Mobile Hotspot.
4. Tap Start Server.
5. On desktop, use the default hotspot IP (usually 192.168.43.1) to connect.

Manage subscription

Subscriptions are managed in the mobile app under Settings → Manage Subscription. You can see your current plan, end date, seat counts and available add-ons.

Manage Subscription

• Extra Mobile — auto-renewable add-on, ₹1,999/year per additional seat.
• +10 GB Cloud Storage — auto-renewable add-on, ₹1,499/year per 10 GB block.

Desktop licenses

For Windows desktops with limited connectivity, Dazo offers offline license keys. Manage them from Settings → Manage Licenses on mobile.

Manage Licenses with Active / Inactive counts

Device Activation Pending state

1. Open Manage Licenses to see Total / Active / Inactive counts.
2. Copy a license key with Copy.
3. Paste it into the desktop activation flow when prompted.
