This is the app you need to control the Tail Company's MiTail, DIGITAiL, and EarGear too. Our MiTail and DIGITAiL are super expressive animatronic tails that you control with an App. EarGear is a set of moving ears that can hear, too! With new features being added all the time, your new Tail and Ears really do come alive.

What can I do with the app? Control the Tail and EarGear Moves, create Move Lists, set Alarms, and more features are being added regularly!

Please remember to give your MiTail, DIGITAiL or EarGear a really good charge and read the instructions: (MiTail) , (DIGITAiL) and EarGear

Adding extra features to our tails, like Gestures, is exciting, and lets us explore new ways to control our gear. But there's always a possibility that you can find a way to damage your tail that we have missed. Repetitive moves for long periods, or moves where the tail is trying to go in different directions at the same time will damage your tail. Please wag responsibly! If it sounds bad, probably best avoid doing it again. Follow these steps and your tail will last for years.

Permissions

The app requires two permissions, and we thought that we should tell you here what those are and what they are for.

The first you will be asked for on app startup is Write External Storage. This permission is used for translation support, as well as for storing the crumpet files where the commands sent to the tails and ears are stored (much more will be happening with this as we go along, but you can already play with it now).

The second you will be asked for is Access Fine Location, which is what is required to look for bluetooth devices, which is how your tails and ears talk with the app. Without that permission, we won't be able to find and connect to your tail.

Importantly, if you would like to see proof that we're being good about this, please do get in touch! All the code is entirely free and open, and if you are particularly worried you can even build it yourself if you would like, but more than anything else we want you to feel safe and know that we don't ask for these permissions without reason, even if their names might seem scary.
