How everything works, with the exact steps in the app. If something is missing, write to us and we will add it.
Nothing matches that search.
Getting started
- Create your account and choose a role Signing up takes three steps: access, role and age confirmation. Here is what is worth thinking about before you touch each one.
- Complete your profile and reach level 2 Photo, description and at least three preferences. That gets you to reputation level 2, which is what unlocks leaving reviews and validating checks.
- Communities and identities: leather, bear, pup… Not groups or channels: identity labels you claim for yourself. What they are for, how to pick them, and why they are optional.
- Install DomBound on your phone (no app stores) DomBound is not on the App Store or Google Play, by choice. You install it from the browser onto your home screen, in under a minute.
- Turn on notifications and discreet mode How to enable alerts, choose which categories you receive, and make sure your lock screen shows neither the module nor anyone's name.
Chastity
- Start a chastity period Enable the module, start a self-imposed period, decide whether it has an end date and whether you accept pauses. All from your panel.
- Chastity checks: requesting, taking and validating them A check is photo proof that you are still locked. How your Dom requests one, how you submit it, what happens if it expires, and how public checks work on the wall.
- Giving your Dom control of your chastity Exactly what your Dom can do once you hand over the key, how it is authorised, how it is withdrawn, and what stays yours alone.
- Pauses, voluntary release and the emergency exit The three ways to interrupt a chastity period and what each one costs. The emergency one is immediate, needs no justification and carries no penalty — always.
- Locktober on DomBound: how to take part How to join October's chastity challenge, how scoring works, what medals there are, and how a Dom enters his subs while setting the punishment for missed checks.
Tasks
- Assign a task Title, submission type, deadline, recurrence and punishment for failure. Everything you decide when creating a task, and what each option means.
- Submitting a task, validating it or disputing it The full cycle: assigned, submitted, validated or to redo. What happens when a task expires, and what disputing means.
Challenges
- Create a challenge or join one A challenge is a set of public conditions many people can run. How to create one, how to sign up, how to enter a sub and how to leave.
- Challenge checks, validations and the championship How you prove you are keeping a challenge, who can validate your checks, how they are shared to the wall, and how the championship and medals work.
Punishments
- Which punishments you accept: your maximum severity With no severity limit set, no Dom can punish you. How it is set, what it means, and what an off-catalogue punishment is.
- Imposing a punishment Types and subtypes, severity, mandatory reason, deadline, recurrence, templates and proof. How a punishment is created and how it is closed.
- Control punishments: forced check-in and app restriction The punishments that act on your use of the platform: how app restriction works, its two levels, and what stays available no matter what.
Circle & bonds
- Circle, bond and Owner: the three levels of relationship What each one means, how it is proposed and accepted, how you upgrade to Owner/Slave and how it is undone. Nothing is imposed: everything is accepted.
- Reputation, reviews and levels How reputation is earned and lost, which categories are rated, why reviews only add, and what each level unlocks.
Community
- Explore: how to find people How the profile grid is ordered, what filters exist, what the badges mean and how «who has seen you» works.
- The Wall: what appears and who sees it Your circle's activity thread. What gets posted automatically, what you post, the three tabs and how what you see is validated.
Encrypted chat
- Setting up encrypted chat (and what happens if you lose your password) Chat is end-to-end encrypted from the first message. You unlock it with your password on each device, and nobody else holds a copy of the key.
- Chat requests and «not interested» Nobody writes to you without your agreement. How requests work and how to close a conversation without blocking anyone.
- The Dom's tools in chat From the conversation itself you assign a task, impose a challenge or a punishment, request a chastity check and share a profile. Without leaving the chat.
- Owner powers: message supervision and communication lockdown The platform's two most intrusive tools, how they are authorised, which warnings are always visible, and why withdrawing them rotates the key.
- Photos in chat: view-once, permanent and the private gallery How photos are sent, why the ones with your face are seen only once, how to mark +18 content, and what the encrypted gallery is for.
Privacy & safety
- «Not interested», blocking and reporting: the ladder of limits Three different steps for three different situations. Which to use when, what each one costs, and what happens after a report.
- Public profile: showing your profile without an account Off by default. Switch it on and your profile opens with a link, no sign-up needed — and this is exactly what is shown and what is not.
- What your Dom can see, and what he cannot An honest summary of the information asymmetry in a dynamic: what the platform shows him, what you decide, and what nobody sees.
- Location: proximity, check-ins and what is shared How your location is used to sort by proximity, how a location check-in works, and the three visibility levels you can choose.
- Profile photos, +18 content and moderation How many photos you can have, how to mark one as sensitive, why an explicit one cannot be your main photo, and what automatic review does.
Your account
- Switch: your role of the day If you signed up as a switch, each day you choose which role you act in. It is fixed until the next day.
- Holiday mode Going away? Freeze what runs against you. Your profile stays visible; what stops is your challenges expiring as failed.
- Deleting your account and getting it back You have 30 days to change your mind: logging back in cancels the deletion. After that it is erased for good — and this is exactly what disappears.
- Free plan and DomBound+ What you pay for and what you don't, how DomBound+ is activated, how to redeem a code, and where payment stands during the beta.
- Writing to support and following your ticket How to ask for help, report a bug or send beta feedback, and how the conversation with the team is followed.
