Dog Dooty Tracker is a simple pee & poop log for busy households, now with optional Family Pack sync so everyone in the house is on the same page. Tap to log a bathroom break, walk, meal, or medication. See at a glance when a dog is overdue. Works completely offline with no account required, or turn on Family Pack to sync with the people who share dog duty with you. NEW IN 2.0: FAMILY PACK • Start a Pack in seconds. No signup, no password, just an invite code • Everyone in your household can log; the Pack Leader manages dogs and reminder intervals • Pack Feed shows the last 7 days of activity: who logged what, and when • Get a push notification when someone in your Pack lets the dog out • Log offline anytime. Entries queue and sync automatically when you're back online • Solo? Nothing changes. Tap Continue and everything still works locally, exactly as before WHY DOG DOOTY • One-tap logging for pee, poop, or both. Built for real life, not spreadsheets • Overdue alerts so no one forgets who's on duty • Track multiple dogs from one app • Reminders on your own schedule, not a generic timer • Clean, fast, distraction-free. Built for a 2-second glance between chores FAMILY PACK, EXPLAINED Family Pack is entirely optional. One person starts a Pack and shares an invite code with the rest of the household (roommates, partners, kids, pet sitters, anyone). Everyone in the Pack can log activity for the shared dogs; the person who started the Pack (Pack Leader) manages the dog list and alert intervals. Pack activity is kept for 7 days and then automatically cleared. Dog Dooty isn't trying to be a permanent record, just a shared one. PRIVACY Solo use requires no account and no data leaves your device. Family Pack uses anonymous sign-in (no email or password); only your chosen display name, dog names, and a 7-day activity log are shared with your Pack.
