## What is PetLift?

Your pet, at the top of your screen.

Pick a photo. PetLift cuts your pet out of the background on your device, then puts them in the Dynamic Island.

Not a cartoon. Not a pixel animal. Yours.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a photo of your pet
2. PetLift cuts them out on your device, in a second
3. Send them to your Dynamic Island

ONE THING, DONE PROPERLY
Your pet lives in the Dynamic Island, the pill at the top of your iPhone. There is no Home Screen widget and nothing to arrange.

WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU BUY
iOS ends a Live Activity after about 8 hours, and Low Power Mode switches them off. When that happens your pet stops showing until you open PetLift and send them back up. That is an Apple limit rather than a bug, and we would rather you knew now than felt cheated later.

ONE PAYMENT. NO SUBSCRIPTION.
Try it free: pick a photo and watch your pet get cut out. One payment sends them to the Dynamic Island. There is no subscription, and there never will be.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no sign-up, no tracking.

The Dynamic Island exists on iPhone 14 Pro and later. On earlier iPhones your pet appears on the Lock Screen instead, which is where iOS puts a Live Activity when there is no island to put it in.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-19

PetLift now does one thing: your pet in the Dynamic Island. The Home Screen widget has been removed. The first screen shows exactly how your pet will look up there.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-17

Clearer wording on the unlock screen.

It now lists only what the one-time payment actually includes: your pet in the Dynamic Island, on your Lock Screen, and as a Home Screen widget. Adding and keeping pets in the app was always free and stays that way.

Pay once. No subscription, ever.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-17

No release notes.
