What PetPal is

PetPal keeps the care schedule for every animal in the house in one calm place. Create a profile for each pet, then build the routines around them: feeding times, medication, flea and worm treatments, grooming, walks, litter changes and anything else on your list. Real Android alarms — including full-screen alarms that behave like a morning alarm clock — make sure the important ones cannot be missed, and home-screen widgets keep today's tasks visible at a glance. Everything lives on your device.

What it does

  • Per-pet profiles with photos and notes
  • Feeding, medication, grooming and custom task schedules
  • Real exact alarms, including full-screen critical alerts
  • Home-screen widgets for today's tasks
  • Task history so you know what was done, and when
  • Fully offline, no account

The flea treatment you forgot is the point

Pet care fails at the margins — the monthly treatment, the second feed on a busy day, the antibiotic that needed finishing. PetPal exists for exactly those moments, with alarms that behave like alarms.

Getting PetPal

PetPal is still in development and is not distributed yet. It is roughly 50% of the way to a first public release.
