PawScan is a pet photo journal β€” with AI lending a hand. Snap a photo, and AI helps you write a warm journal note about what you see. It's a personal diary for your dog or cat, not a medical tool. Track weight, meals, and your own care reminders in the same place, then export a PDF journal to share with family or mention at your next vet visit. [ AI Photo Notes ] Take a photo and AI drafts a gentle, journal-style note of what it observes. These are personal memories to remember the day β€” not clinical assessments. [ Daily Journal ] Log appetite, hydration, activity, stool, and mood in a few taps. View the month at a glance on a color-coded calendar and export everything as a PDF journal. [ Care Schedule ] Add your own care reminders β€” vaccinations, medication, grooming. PawScan sends reminders 7 days and 1 day before. It's a self-managed planner you control. [ Weight Log ] Track weight over time with visual charts. Compare against typical ranges for the breed as a reference only. [ Food & Allergy Log ] Record meals and ingredients you want to remember. Diet notes flow into your photo notes automatically. [ Breed Care Tips ] Reference notes on things to watch for, common care items, and typical weight ranges for your pet's breed. [ Home Screen Widgets ] See upcoming care items and your weekly activity streak from the home screen β€” no need to open the app. Supported pets: dogs and cats (multiple profiles) Available in: English Β· Korean Β· Japanese Β· Simplified Chinese Β· Spanish [ Premium ] - Unlimited AI photo notes - Unlimited pet profiles - Full journal history - Shareable PDF journal - Breed care tips Start free. Upgrade whenever you like. PawScan is a personal photo-journal app. It is not a medical or veterinary service and does not provide diagnosis or treatment advice. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for any concern about your pet.
