After your account has been created, you will receive a welcome email from Toecan that contains your personal login code — a short code made of 8 letters and numbers (for example PO38ASB6).
no-reply@toecan.tech.Log in to the app
Open the Toecan app you installed. You'll see this welcome screen:
- Type the 8-character code from your email into the input field.
- Tap Log In.
Forgot your code?
If you ever lose your code or it doesn't work, tap Request a new code by email on the login screen. Type your email address and a new code will be sent to your inbox.
Allow the required permissions
After logging in, the app will ask you to approve several permissions. Please approve all of them — they are required for Toecan to record your trips correctly:
- Location (Always) — detects when you start and stop driving, even when the app is in the background.
- Motion & Fitness (iPhone) or Physical activity (Android) — distinguishes driving from walking or cycling.
- Notifications — used to send you weekly trip reminders and coaching tips.
- Bluetooth (optional but recommended) — improves automatic trip detection.
Notifications you can expect
Toecan only sends a small number of notifications. Here is what to expect:
| When | What you will see | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday morning | "Please confirm your trips from this week" | Tap the notification. Review the trips and mark any that were not as a driver (e.g. passenger, train, bike). |
| Occasionally during the week | "New coaching tip available" | Tap to open a personalized driving advice based on your recent trips. |
| One-off, after a trip | Reminder asking to confirm a specific trip's mode (driver / passenger / public transport) | Tap and choose the correct travel mode so your driving score stays accurate. |
iPhone vs Android
The app itself works the same on both platforms. The only differences are how you install and update it:
| Topic | iPhone | Android |
|---|---|---|
| Install from | App Store | Google Play |
| Updates | The App Store updates Toecan automatically when a new version is available | Google Play updates Toecan automatically when a new version is available |
| Battery saver | No extra steps required | You may be asked to allow Toecan to run in the background (disable battery optimization) — accept this so trips can be recorded |
| Recording behavior | Identical | Identical |
