PupRoutine brings calm structure to a spirited dog's day. Built for busy people with high-energy puppies or new rescues, it turns meals, walks, potty breaks, play, and rest into a clear daily rhythm you can actually keep. A PAUSEABLE TIMER FOR REAL LIFE Start a walk or training block and pause it the moment life interrupts — no more timers that expire and make you start over. YOUR DAY, ON A LIVING TIMELINE See the current block, what's coming next, and quick-log a potty break or meal in a single tap. THE RHYTHM SCORE A simple 0–100 score reflects how consistent and predictable your dog's day has been, so you can watch structure build over time. MOOD & BEHAVIOR IN CONTEXT Log calm, neutral, or unsettled days and see the trend beside your routine. Insights are observational and are not veterinary advice. BUILD THE PERFECT DAY Customize blocks with times, durations, icons, and colors; set weekday and weekend flows; and keep a gentle, never-punishing streak. WHAT'S FREE No account needed. The daily routine, the timeline, pausable timers, quick logs, mood check-ins, the Rhythm score, streaks, potty timing, caretakers and your full history are all free.

Doggie Helper! turns everyday potty accidents into a clear, calm plan — so you can prevent the next one instead of just cleaning it up. Built for aging dogs and dogs thrown off by rain or a change in routine. LOG AN ACCIDENT IN TWO TAPS Capture what happened — time, place, surface, and a likely cause — in seconds. Add a photo and get a short, plain-language read of the accident (the photo is analyzed, then never stored). SEE THE HIDDEN PATTERN The signature Potty Clock reveals your dog's peak accident windows across the day, while trends surface the rooms, surfaces, and triggers — like rainy days — behind repeat messes. PERSONALIZED PREVENTION Get gentle, specific suggestions — better-timed potty breaks, scent-reset training steps, and weather-aware routines — grounded only in your own dog's logs. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Track more than one dog, keep a health-and-routine profile, follow step-by-step training guides, and browse a resource library for senior-dog care and house-training. DOGGIE HELPER PLUS (optional subscription) Unlock the full Potty Clock, pattern analysis, prevention insights, the accident heatmap, red-flag watch, multi-dog support, and AI summaries of your dog's data. - Monthly ($4.99) or annual ($29.99), each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings Doggie Helper! supports your care routine and is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.
