How It Works
From the first source to the first payout.
Two of the steps take a minute. The third one never stops.
The Three Steps
1
Connect your data sources
DREJ connects to 40+ data sources across 11 categories. Some connect through your phone’s built-in sensors. Others connect through secure OAuth to services you already use.
- –6 device connectors using your phone’s native sensors
- –26 OAuth connectors for third-party services
- –8 file-based connectors for data exports
- –3 API key connectors (crypto wallet, Toggl Track, Mastodon)
- –Automatic background syncing
2
Set your privacy level
Every connector has the levels that make sense for it — never below Medium. You choose how much detail to share and can change it anytime.
- 1Medium — identifiers hashed, emails and phones masked, amounts and coordinates rounded, times to the hour
- 2High — only identifiers, categories, types and rounded numbers survive; times to the day
- 3Maximum — no individual records, only counts, types and a date range — on-device sources
