How it works
How Paw Crew works
Paw Crew gives each pet one ruled page per day, like a ledger. Read it top to bottom and you know what was carried over, what is done and who did it, where you are now, and what is still to come.

Reading the page
One page per pet, per day
The Today screen reads in the same order every time, so a glance is enough.
Pet tabs
Each pet has a tab in its own ink colour. Tap or swipe to move between them.
The day at a glance
The date, how many things are done out of how many are due, and what is next, such as Dinner in about 8 hours.
Carried over
Anything late from earlier sits at the top in its own colour, such as a flea treatment that is 2 days late, until someone logs it or skips it.
Done, and signed
Every finished item shows the time and the name of the person who logged it, so nobody has to ask.
The Now line
A line marks the current minute. Its quick-log buttons, such as Fed, Meds, Water and Walk, log at this minute with your name.
Still to come
Below the Now line are the things due later today, each with its time. When one comes due, the reminder goes out.
Getting started
Set up a pet in a couple of minutes
A guided setup saves as you go. If you stop halfway, it picks up at the same step.
Name and species
Add a name, the species and a photo if you like. Cats and dogs get custom art; every other animal gets its own icon.
The daily routine
Pick feeding times and, depending on the pet, walks, litter or water. You see a preview of the Today page they will make.
Meds and care due
If your pet is on a course of medication, add it with its schedule and end date. Add the next vaccine or flea treatment date too. Both are optional.
Reminders on
Paw Crew asks for notification permission only when you have reminders to send, and shows you which ones first.
Logging
Log it the way that is closest
Every way of logging writes the same entry, with the time and your name.
One tap on the Now line
Tap Fed, Meds, Water or Walk. A short message with Undo confirms it.
Log for another time
Long-press a quick-log button to pick the time, for when you forgot to log the morning walk.
From the reminder
Choose Mark done on the notification. The entry is written without opening the app.
From a widget
Add a Paw Crew widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and log with one tap.
With Siri
Ask Siri to log a feeding or a walk for a pet, hands full or not.
Together
When the household shares the page
With household sharing, included at launch, everyone you invite sees the same page and their taps land on it with their names.
Signed by whoever did it
Anna fed Miso at 7:42 shows on everyone's page, so nobody has to ask, and a second feeding within 30 minutes gets a gentle check first.
Told when it matters
The others can get a quiet notification when someone logs, and one nudge if a routine item is still not logged, which clears as soon as anyone logs it.
Sitters included
With Paw Crew Pro, a sitter gets a temporary invite that ends after a last day you choose, or a sitter sheet to print.
See everything it does
The features page lists every part of Paw Crew, and the guides walk through common routines step by step.
