About

Lakii

Features
Read full description

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-carerβ€”no 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 invisibleβ€”open 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.
