The name
名前
Doko (どこ) is the Japanese word for where. It's the question you ask yourself in the aisle when you can't remember what you came in for — and the question this app quietly answers for you.
What's here?
どこ
A quiet shopping companion. Jot down what you need, and doko shows you only the items sold at the store you're walking past.
How it works
使い方
-
Capture in a flash
Type what you need and hit return. Comma-separated lists split themselves. No taxonomy work, no categorizing — doko figures it out.
-
What's Here?
Walk past a store, tap one button. doko works out what that shop sells — from groceries and pharmacies to jewelers, hardware, and specialty shops — and shows only the items you can grab there. When a place is too generic to read, it simply shows your whole list rather than guessing wrong.
-
Smart on the wrist
On Apple Watch, raise your wrist and check items off as you find them. Anything you don't catch stays on the list for next time.
-
Everywhere at once
Lives on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Watch. Adds and checkoffs sync across every device through your own iCloud — nothing leaves your account.
Privacy Policy
プライバシー
Effective June 4, 2026.
doko is built to keep your shopping list private. Here's what that means in practice.
What doko stores
- The items you add to your list (name, notes, categories, purchase status, timestamps).
- Your preference for whether you've completed the onboarding flow.
That's it. There is no account, no profile, no advertising identifier.
Where it lives
Your list is stored on your device and in your own iCloud Private Database, accessed only by you through Apple's iCloud service. The app's developer cannot see, query, or access your list. Apple's iCloud terms apply to how that data is stored on Apple's servers.
Location
When you tap What's Here?, doko asks iOS for your current location, then queries Apple Maps for stores within roughly 250 feet of that point. Your location is used once per tap to make that lookup — it is not logged, stored, or sent anywhere by doko. The Maps query goes to Apple under Apple's privacy practices.
On-device intelligence
When you add an item doko doesn't recognize from its built-in dictionary — or when it needs to work out what a nearby store sells from its name — it asks Apple's on-device language model. This runs entirely on your device. The text is not sent to any server.
What doko does not do
- No analytics.
- No crash reporters or third-party SDKs.
- No advertising or tracking.
- No selling, sharing, or licensing of your data.
Retention
Items stay until you delete them. Purchased items are automatically cleared two days after you mark them done. Deleting the app removes all local data. To remove the iCloud copy, sign into Settings › Apple ID › iCloud › Manage Storage › doko on any of your devices.
Children
doko is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Significant changes will be called out in an app update's release notes.
