Your dog's walks have a story. PupMarks is a dog walk diary and photo journal for the favorite sniffing spots, muddy paws, new friends and little moments you want to remember. Keep your puppy's first adventures and your dog's everyday walks together, with photos, notes and the places they happened. SAVE A WALK, KEEP THE MEMORY Start a walk to record its route, time and distance. Add a PupMark with one tap for a sniff, play break, treat, new friend or potty stop. Add a photo or note while the moment is fresh. Each walk becomes part of your pup's diary, so a familiar route has its own memories. A PHOTO JOURNAL FOR YOUR PUP Give the snapshots on your phone a place in your dog's story. Save a funny expression, a favorite stick or an afternoon at the park as a PupMark. Find the photo with its note and spot, instead of trying to remember which walk it came from. Your dog's profile brings walks, PupMarks and memories together. RELIVE A WALK, A WEEK OR A MONTH Replay turns saved walks and moments into a video made on your device. Watch one walk again, revisit a week together or look back over a month. Choose from 12 looks: Diary is free and 11 additional looks require PupMarks Plus. Customize your PupMark and walk cards, then save a video or share a video you choose with the people who love your pup. An export includes the content you choose to share; walk routes in the app stay private. SEE YOUR WEEK TOGETHER See weekly walks, distance, time outside and new ground explored. Find favorite spots and notice how your walks add up. The diary keeps the moments alongside the walk recaps, so your dog's activity has a story as well as numbers. CARE NOTES AND TRUSTED WALKING HELP Keep vaccinations, medications, grooming and milestones with your pup's profile. Share walking duties with family, friends or a person you trust. Choose who is allowed to walk your dog and keep walk recaps in the diary. Dog owners and the people they trust can use ordinary PupMarks accounts. YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU SHARE Connect with Pup pals and discover nearby public moments. Choose who can see your pup's profile and each PupMark. For shared PupMark pins, choose exact location, exact for you with an approximate spot for others, or approximate for everyone. Exact walk routes stay private. You can report content and block accounts. FREE AND OPTIONAL PUPMARKS PLUS Free accounts include the latest three months of Pup Diary history, Replay in the Diary look, Classic cards and 5 PupMarks styled with additional card looks. Optional PupMarks Plus adds older saved history (walks, PupMarks and Insights), all 12 Replay looks and every card look. It is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or yearly. The App Store shows the current price, billing period, any available introductory offer and renewal terms before purchase. Manage or cancel through the subscription settings for your Apple account. Deleting your PupMarks account does not cancel that subscription. FOR ELIGIBLE BUSINESSES Eligible businesses in the United States and Canada can request to manage a profile. An optional PupMarks Business Subscription offers a storefront, promoted map pin, offers, rewards and team tools. It renews automatically. The App Store shows the price, billing period and any available trial before purchase. Dog owners do not need a business subscription. PupMarks is for adults 18 and older. Location and map results depend on your device, network and location conditions. Always supervise your dog and use good judgment while walking.
