Sniffly is a simple, friendly app for dog walks—built for people who want a clear map, useful markers, and progress they can actually see. WALK WITH A LIVE MAP Start a walk and Sniffly records your route in real time. Your path appears on the map as you go. When you finish, the walk is saved automatically with distance and duration. DROP PINS ALONG THE WAY Mark what matters on your route: water, benches, trash bins, shade, dog areas, hazards, or custom spots. Saved pins stay on your map for future walks so you remember the good stops. YOUR DOG, YOUR APP Add your dog’s name, breed, age, and photo. Sniffly shows your pup on the home screen, while recording, and in statistics—everything stays on your iPhone. STATISTICS THAT MOTIVATE See daily activity charts for the last week or month, average time and distance per walk, walk counts, and day streaks. Totals help you understand how much you and your dog are moving together. ACHIEVEMENTS Unlock badges for streaks, total distance (from your first kilometer to 500 km and beyond), walk count, long routes, exploration, pins, time of day, profile setup, and a few secret surprises. Progress is shown for goals you’re close to reaching. WALKS & HISTORY Browse every saved walk, open details with a full map, and review markers from that outing. Your last walk is always easy to find from the Map tab. LIVE ACTIVITY During an active walk, follow duration and distance on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island—without unlocking your phone. PRIVACY FIRST Sniffly is designed for on-device storage. Your routes, pins, and profile are saved locally on your phone. Location is used only to record walks and place markers while a walk is active (including in the background if you allow it, so recording continues with the screen off). Sniffly is made for everyday walks—not racing, not social networks. Just you, your dog, and the path you share. Questions or feedback? We’d love to hear from you.
