Laki solves the most common question when sharing pet care: Did you give them their pill yet? Coordinate medications, reminders, and dosages with your pet co-carerβno duplicate doses, no missed doses, no arguments. Designed for couples, families, or roommates who share the care of a dog, cat, or other small pet. Setup takes about 30 seconds: add your pet, their medication, and the schedule, scan a QR code to add the other person, and you're all set. Both of you receive reminders, and both can mark the dose as given. FEATURES: β’ Shared reminders: timed notifications for both devices in the group. It doesn't matter who's near the pet. β’ Instant syncing: when one person marks the dose as given, the other sees it instantly. Goodbye to duplicate doses. β’ Record of each dose: it saves who gave it and at what time, so there's no confusion. β’ Multiple pets and medications: as flexible as your life. Each pet with its own color and emoji, each medication with its own frequency. β’ Automatic light and dark mode based on your system settings. β’ No accounts, no emails, no passwords: just scan a QR code to add the other person. The app is designed to be invisibleβopen it when needed and you're good to go. TYPICAL USE CASES: β’ Your dog has started antibiotic treatment every 8 hours, and you and your partner take turns administering the doses. β’ Your cat needs thyroid medication every day, and you live with family who help administer it when you're not around. β’ Your pet is recovering from surgery and needs specific medication, and you want to keep a clear record of each dose.
