"Did you already feed the cat?" If anyone else feeds your pet, you've asked that question. Nobody's sure, so the cat gets two dinners, or none. PetSync is one shared feeding log for the whole house. Feed the pet, tap once, and the log updates on everyone else's phone right away: which pet, who fed it, what time. That's the whole idea. WHO ELSE FEEDS THE PETS? Set up your household, then send the invite code from the Household tab to whoever else feeds them: your partner, your kids, a roommate, your parents, the sitter. They install the app, enter the code, and they're looking at the same log you are. WHAT YOU GET • One tap to log a meal, with Undo if you tapped the wrong pet • Live sync, so every phone in the house shows the same log • A notification when someone else feeds a pet: "Sam just fed Luna" • A heads-up to everyone if a pet's mealtimes all go by with nothing logged, even when nobody has the app open • Feeding reminders that go quiet once the pet has been fed • A Home Screen widget showing who still needs feeding • The history: who fed which pet and when, grouped by day, with notes and meal photos • Notes on each pet: no chicken, one scoop, whatever the next person needs to know • Medications with doses, times and reminders. Everyone sees when a dose is given, and gets an alert if one is missed • A feeding streak for every pet • Light and dark mode It's all free. No ads, no subscription, no limits on pets, people or history. Sign in with Apple or email. Delete your account from inside the app whenever you like.
