Built for reactive and anxious dogs, and the people working to help them. Your dog communicates through behavior, but patterns across days and weeks are hard to spot on your own. A bad walk, a skipped rest day, a stressful encounter: the signs connect, but not in ways you can see in the moment. Unwind tracks walks, incidents, enrichment, and care in one place, then shows you what's actually building so you can act before problems escalate. What you can track: • Walks with live GPS routes, distance, and a walk type: sniff, typical, or adventure • Encounters during walks: dogs, people, vehicles, and how your dog reacted • Incidents like reactivity, guarding, or fights, with triggers and severity • Enrichment activities: play, training, and calm time • Care events like grooming, meds, and vet visits • Notes, photos, and context What you'll see: • A status card for each dog that says how they're doing today, and stays quiet when things are fine • Weekly summaries connecting walks, behavior, activities, and care • Balance, a weekly view of active days, calm days, and the days an incident broke the pattern • Patterns that only become visible over weeks • Alerts adjusted to each dog's traits, goals, and recent activity What you get: • Household sharing: invite family with a link, and everyone logs to the same dogs • Apple Watch companion: log encounters and control walks from your wrist • Multi-dog support with per-dog trait configuration • Your data follows your account, with offline logging that syncs when you're back • Export everything as CSV to share with your vet, trainer, or behaviorist • No ads Whether you're managing leash reactivity, a recent rescue still settling in, or a multi-dog household, Unwind helps you see what's working.

About

Aimo

Aimo — 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 — from Gotcha Day to forever. — Today — A hello in the morning. The day's first photo. A small thing to write, if you'd like — or speak it, on the days words come easier said than typed. And on the days that mean something — 100 days together, 365, their birthday — a soft draft is already waiting, in case you want to write to them about it. — Book — 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" — a quiet bridge to the same date in the past. The years build into a thing you'll want to read. — Keepsakes — 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. — Together — 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 — 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. — Profile — An archive, not a settings page. Their breed, their birthday, the things they love and fear. The story of how they came home. — Health, gently held — Vaccine reminders. Vet visit log. Weight trend. After a vet visit, one calm flow captures everything that happened — meds, next vaccine, the bill — without typing it five times. We surface what matters; we never diagnose. — On the watch — 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. — Every kind, side by side — Cat, dog, rabbit, bird — every animal in your house, equal in the same book. — Yours, always — 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 — when the time comes — it stays gentle. A place to remember, in your own time. Kept gently, kept always.
