**Never leave your pet alone in the car without a watchful eye. PawMode turns a spare iPhone into a live pet monitor you can check from anywhere.** PawMode uses two iPhones to keep your dog or cat safe when you step away from the car. Leave one phone with your pet — it watches over them and alerts you if anything's wrong. **HOW IT WORKS** One iPhone stays in the car as the Monitor. The other stays with you. They check in every minute so you always know your pet is okay. **IN THE CAR (Monitor Mode)** - Live camera view of your pet - Message for passersby with your contact info and scannable code - On-screen warnings for low battery or lost signal - 4-digit lock to prevent tampering - Auto power-saving when the phone gets warm - Bluetooth thermometer support for actual cabin temperature alerts **WITH YOU (Personal Mode)** - Simple banner shows if the car phone is online - Battery and charging status at a glance - Instant alerts for connection or battery issues **PREMIUM FEATURES** - Unlimited live camera time (free: 15-minute limit) - Auto-translate messages to local languages - Remote photo snapshots of your pet - Video recording and auto-snapshots - Stealth mode — screen goes dark while camera runs - Edit messages remotely **PAIRING IS SIMPLE** Scan a code to connect both phones instantly. Switch modes anytime. Your pair's data syncs through your Apple account. One small service we operate watches your Monitor's heartbeat so an alert can still reach you when PawMode is closed — it never receives your camera, recordings, or location. Requires iOS 18.5 or later. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
