## What is Pawnce?

Catch the cats and dogs around you.

Pawnce turns the real animals you meet into rare, collectible cards. Point your camera at any cat or dog, and on-device AI spots it instantly. Flick a treat to make the catch and reveal its card: breed, rarity, stats and a one-of-a-kind name.

REAL ANIMALS ONLY
Photos, posters and screens don't count. Pawnce checks for a real, living, 3D animal before you can catch it, so every card in your collection is a genuine encounter.

ON-DEVICE RECOGNITION
Breed recognition runs entirely on your phone and the live camera feed is never uploaded. No third-party AI ever sees your pets. Catches you save sync to your collection, so they survive a reinstall and can appear on your profile and the leaderboard.

COLLECT EVERY CRITTER
- Five tiers of rarity, from everyday tabbies to cosmic legendaries
- Build your Dex and hunt down the rare breeds
- Every catch keeps its own real photo, lifted into a glowing collectible card

EXPLORE & COMPETE
- Spot critters other hunters found nearby on the world map
- Mark the cats and dogs you meet for the community
- Climb the global leaderboard and add friends to compare collections

PLAY KIND
Pawnce is built on respect for animals. Watch your surroundings, never trespass, and let animals come to you. Be gentle with every stray.
