Tarantuverse is a husbandry tracker built for invertebrate keepers — a calm, organized home for your whole collection and the care that goes into it. Whether you keep a single sling or a room full of enclosures, Tarantuverse helps you remember what matters: when each animal last ate, when it molted, when the substrate was changed, and how it's growing over time. KEEP YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Track many invertebrates in one place — tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, whip spiders, vinegaroons, true spiders (including jumping spiders), millipedes, mantises, and roaches. Every animal gets its own profile with photos, husbandry details, and a full history. LOG THE CARE THAT COUNTS Feeding logs — what you offered, accepted or refused Molt logs — with optional measurements to track growth Substrate changes and enclosure notes Smart feeding reminders so nobody gets forgotten UNDERSTAND YOUR ANIMALS Premolt predictions from feeding patterns and molt history Growth charts built from your molt measurements Feeding stats and collection insights SPECIES CARE SHEETS Browse 300+ species care sheets across all nine groups — temperament, temperature and humidity ranges, enclosure guidance, feeding by life stage, and honest safety and venom notes. Search and filter by care level, and link an animal to its species to compare your setup against the guide. New species are added regularly. PHOTOS & QR LABELS Build a photo timeline for each animal. Generate printable QR enclosure labels and upload photos straight from your phone by scanning the label. A COMMUNITY OF KEEPERS Share a public profile, follow other keepers, join the forums, and message fellow hobbyists. Keep your collection private or public — your call. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Export your full collection anytime and delete your account whenever you like. We keep care and species information honest — if we don't know something, we leave it blank rather than guess. Tarantuverse is free to use. Premium unlocks an unlimited collection and advanced analytics for serious keepers and breeders. We're a small, growing project built by a keeper who wanted a better way to care for these incredible animals — adding species and features all the time. We'd love to have you along. Happy keeping.

Track your exotic pets with KeeperCore — care logs, a species reference library, and an AI assistant that reasons from your own pet's history. Deepest for tarantulas, scorpions, and jumping spiders, with solid coverage for turtles, tortoises, frogs, and mantids. Reptile coverage (snakes, geckos, lizards) is smaller and growing. FREE: • 5 active pets • 10 AI care messages per day • 8 photos per pet • 1 co-keeper to share a pet's care with • Join community rooms and follow the species you keep • 700+ species reference library • Care logging for feeding, molting, weight, health, and more • Import your collection from a CSV or Excel spreadsheet • Pet profiles with public sharing, and memorial pages • Learning courses and quizzes • A printable enclosure tag — scan it and land on that pet's page PRO (In-App Purchase): • Up to 300 active pets • 100 AI care messages per day • Up to 2,000 photos per pet • Up to 20 video uploads per day • Unlimited co-keepers, plus time-boxed sitter access • Create and own community rooms • AI-powered care insights on Trends • Export care reports to PDF Every pet's page is now built around what it actually is — a desert scene for a bearded dragon, a rainforest canopy for a crested gecko, open water for a turtle. Same care log underneath, easier to tell your animals apart at a glance. Ask Keeper (the built-in AI) about any of your animals — it answers from that animal's own logged history, not generic advice, and tells you when it isn't sure. Log a feeding, track a molt, or ask a care question in plain English. Add a co-keeper to any pet you own — a partner, a roommate, or whoever's covering feedings while you're away — and they can log care and photos for that pet from their own account. You stay the owner. Co-keepers have to already be friends with you on KeeperCore first; it's not open sharing by username. Keepers is where other keepers are: a Home feed built from the rooms you join and the species you follow, a Browse page for rooms, species, and keepers, and an Inbox for messages, activity, and requests. Every keeper has a Keeper Card — what they keep and what they've logged, if they choose to make it public. Rooms can set their own look — an accent color, a taxon mark, a backdrop — so a tarantula room doesn't look like a gecko room. Start a room of your own on Pro, with approval-only membership and a moderation log. Have an idea for KeeperCore? Post it from a chat with Keeper or from the Ideas board, and other keepers can vote it up. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
