Came back from a walk, the park, the garden or a hike? Ticks are tiny, painless and easy to miss. NoTick is your calm tick-check assistant for the whole family and your pets. Scan skin, fur, clothing and gear with your camera, get clear photo guidance, and see exactly what to do if you find a possible tick — fast. WHY PEOPLE USE NOTICK • Check faster after every outdoor trip • Spot ticks you'd otherwise miss in hair and fur • See which ticks and tick-borne diseases are common where you live • Learn the safe way to remove a tick — and when to see a doctor or vet • Keep a simple log of bites — date, photos and notes • Calm, clear guidance — never scare tactics U.S. TICK MAP (NOTICK PRO) See which tick species and tick-borne diseases are established in your region of the United States, drawing on CDC geographic data — tap any region to learn what to watch for. Then get a weather- and season-based estimate of how active ticks may be near you, with a 7-day outlook. It's guidance built from public-health data and local weather, not a map of reported bites — so always check after outdoor time. FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES Kids are often bitten on the head, neck and hairline. Get a gentle, guided check after the park, forest or camping, and keep an eye on the area in the days after. FOR DOG & CAT OWNERS Fur hides ticks around ears, collar, paws, belly and skin folds. Part the fur, scan with your camera, and check the spots ticks love in seconds. FOR HIKERS, RUNNERS, GARDENERS & CAMPERS Back from the trail? Check yourself head-to-toe and inspect clothing, boots and gear before ticks settle in. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Guided photo scans for adults, kids, dogs, cats, clothing and gear • Tick Spotter camera — magnify, light up and switch modes (Contrast, Mono, Reveal) to make ticks stand out • Found something? Compare it against common U.S. ticks and see what each one can carry • Clear results with safe, step-by-step removal guidance • U.S. Tick Map & 7-day tick-activity forecast for your area (NoTick Pro) • TickWiki — a guide, informed by U.S. CDC guidance, to U.S. ticks, the diseases they can carry, how long a tick was attached, and whether to have one tested • Tick-check checklists for people and pets • Bite log — save the date, photos and notes FREE & NOTICK PRO Everyday tick checks are free — scanning, TickWiki and step-by-step removal. NoTick Pro adds the U.S. Tick Map and tick-activity forecast, unlimited scans, follow-up reminders, extra saved profiles and bite logs, and a year-round seasonal view. Monthly, yearly or lifetime — the price is always shown in the app before you buy. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your scans, photos and notes stay on your device by default and are never uploaded without your clear consent. No account needed. No ad tracking (no IDFA). Core tools — scanning, TickWiki and the removal guide — work offline; the tick-activity map needs a connection. IMPORTANT NoTick is a tick-check helper, not a medical or veterinary diagnosis tool. It does not identify a tick's species for you and cannot guarantee an area is tick-free — always do a full manual check too. If you find a possible tick, remove it as soon as possible. Contact a doctor if you feel unwell or notice a spreading rash after a bite, and contact a vet if your pet seems unwell. Guidance is informed by public-health and veterinary references, including the U.S. CDC and AVMA. ABOUT TOSS IT ONLINE NoTick is made by Toss it Online — simple, useful apps for everyday life.
