Make everyday care easier with TailNotes. Keep a diary for your pets, save notes and documents, track weight, and organize care reminders.

Both caregivers can update the shared diary and feeding plan. Feeding marks help you check whether a meal has already been recorded. Create pet cards and missing-pet posters to share the information you choose. TailNotes Plus includes multiple pets of your own, inviting a caregiver and exporting pet cards. Your first petβs diary, weight, reminders, feeding plan and natural-food calculator remain free. Accepting an invitation is free. Saved pets and existing shared access remain available after your subscription ends. Plus offers weekly, monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions. Prices are shown in the app for your region.

Aimo β Pet Journal is a quiet journal for the years you spend with them. Not a social app. Not gamified. Not a feed. Just one private, soft place to keep their whole life β from Gotcha Day to forever. β Today β A hello in the morning. The day's first photo. A small thing to write, if you'd like β or speak it, on the days words come easier said than typed. And on the days that mean something β 100 days together, 365, their birthday β a soft draft is already waiting, in case you want to write to them about it. β Book β Every day they had with you, kept in order. Look back by list, by month, by year. On any day, see "this day across years" β a quiet bridge to the same date in the past. The years build into a thing you'll want to read. β Keepsakes β Letters you wrote them. Promises you made. Time capsules for them to open on a date, on their next birthday, the year they turn ten, or after the seasons turn. The day comes. It opens by itself. Words too soft to forget. β Together β Some books are kept by one person. Others are kept by two. Invite a partner or family member with three quiet words, and they'll see the whole book β read-only, like a grandparent who wants to see how the little one's doing, or writing alongside you, like the partner you actually live with. The invite words are encrypted. We never see them. β Profile β An archive, not a settings page. Their breed, their birthday, the things they love and fear. The story of how they came home. β Health, gently held β Vaccine reminders. Vet visit log. Weight trend. After a vet visit, one calm flow captures everything that happened β meds, next vaccine, the bill β without typing it five times. We surface what matters; we never diagnose. β On the watch β For the small moments. Pick the three quick taps you actually use, out of nine. The last thing you noted shows quietly on the watch face. β Every kind, side by side β Cat, dog, rabbit, bird β every animal in your house, equal in the same book. β Yours, always β Local-first. Synced through your own iCloud, no account to create. We don't see your photos, your words, or their name. Aimo grows with them. And after β when the time comes β it stays gentle. A place to remember, in your own time. Kept gently, kept always.
