We built an iOS tracker with a dedicated bikejoring mode

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS wellness app built around the dog rather than the human athlete.

One of its three dedicated exercise modes is Bikejoring.
When you start a session, pawtrck uses the owner’s iPhone to record the GPS route, distance, duration and weather, alongside dog-specific estimates such as pawsteps and exercise calories.

Afterward, the session is saved under that dog’s profile and can be turned into a customizable activity card using your own photo, colours and layout.

Because pawtrck is centred on the dog, the activity doesn’t exist in isolation. The same profile also brings together:

Medications, vaccinations, symptoms and vet records
• Meals, treats, calorie intake and weight trends
• Training instructions and completed commands

To be transparent, pawtrck currently tracks the shared activity through the owner’s phone. It isn’t a collar-mounted GPS device, and pawsteps and calories are estimates rather than direct measurements from a dog wearable.

Apple Watch and Garmin integration are among the features we are currently working on. Our goal is to let people record an activity once on the device they already use and then bring it into their dog’s pawtrck profile.

We’d really value feedback from people who actually bikejor: what information would you want to see after a session?

Average and maximum speed, elevation, splits, temperature, rest stops, equipment notes, or something else entirely?

The core experience is free, with optional pawtrck Plus features.

It’s currently available on iOS:

pawtrck - an all-in-one iOS wellness app built around your dog

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS wellness app designed around the dog rather than the owner.

We built it because so much of a dog’s life ends up scattered between human fitness apps, calendar reminders, paper health records and random notes. pawtrck brings their exercise, health, diet and training history together under one dog profile.

Its main features include:
• GPS tracking for on-leash walks, runs and bikejoring sessions
• Route, distance, duration and weather information
• Estimated pawsteps and exercise calories based on the dog’s profile
• Customizable activity cards using your own photos, layouts and colours
• Medication, vaccination, symptom and vet-appointment records
• Meals, treats, weight and calorie tracking
• Training instructions and progress tracking
• Exportable health summaries

The activity tracker currently uses the owner’s iPhone, so it works best for activities where the dog stays with you.

Pawsteps and calories are estimates rather than measurements from a dog wearable. We’re also working toward Apple Watch and Garmin integrations so activities can eventually be recorded once on a wearable and imported into the dog’s profile.

The core experience is free, with an optional pawtrck Plus subscription for expanded features and history.

We launched recently and are still actively improving it, so we’d genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from dog owners.

What would you find most useful, and what feels missing?

We built an app for tracking your dog’s exercise and training

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS wellness app designed around the dog rather than the owner.

A major part of pawtrck is its exercise tracker. It records on-leash walks, runs and bikejoring sessions using the owner’s phone, including the route, distance, duration and weather, alongside dog-specific estimates such as pawsteps and exercise calories.

After each activity, owners can create a customizable card using their own photo, layout and colours, like the example attached.

Because physical activity and training are often parts of the same routine, pawtrck also includes a Training section where owners can browse commands by difficulty, follow step-by-step instructions, mark commands as completed and keep track of what their dog has learned.

The two sections currently sit under the same dog profile, although pawtrck does not yet analyse a relationship between exercise and training performance.

Full disclosure: we built the app ourselves. We’d especially appreciate feedback from this community on the Training section: what would you want to record while working on a command, and what would make the feature genuinely useful beyond simply marking it as completed?

pawtrck also includes health, diet and weight records. The core experience is free, with optional Plus features, and it is currently available on iOS:

I built an all-in-one wellness app for dog owners

Hi everyone!

I built pawtrck alongside my regular job, and I recently launched it on iOS.

pawtrck is an all-in-one wellness app designed around the dog rather than the owner. Instead of keeping exercise, medical information, meals and training progress across different apps and notes, owners can manage everything under one dog profile.

With pawtrck, you can:
• Track on-leash walks, runs and bikejoring sessions with GPS
• View the route, distance, duration, weather, estimated pawsteps and calories burned
• Turn completed activities into customizable cards to save or share
• Log meals, treats, weight and daily calorie intake
• Keep track of medications, vaccinations, symptoms and vet appointments
• Follow training plans and record completed commands
• Export an organized health summary when needed

The core experience is free, with an optional pawtrck Plus subscription for additional features and history.

I’m still early and actively improving the app, so I’d really appreciate feedback from fellow founders, especially those who own dogs.

We built an iOS app to keep your dog’s health history in one place

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS dog wellness app we launched recently.

One of the reasons we built it was how easily a dog’s health information can become scattered between paper records, calendar reminders, phone notes and old conversations with the vet.

The Health section gives owners one place to record:

• Medications and dosage details
• Vaccinations and due dates
• Symptoms, severity and notes
• Vet appointments
• Weight history and trends
• Medical records and documents

You can also export a health summary as a PDF when you need an organized overview to bring to or share with your vet.

To be clear, pawtrck does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment or replace veterinary care. It simply organizes the information entered by the owner and creates a chronological health history that is easier to refer back to.

Health is one part of pawtrck; the app also includes diet and weight tracking, training progress, and GPS tracking for on-leash walks, runs and bikejoring sessions.

Full disclosure: we built the app ourselves, and we’d genuinely appreciate hearing how other dog owners currently keep their pets’ health records organized and whether there’s anything important you think we’re missing.

pawtrck has a free version (we did not limit anything under Health section in the free plan due to its nature) and is currently available on iOS:

I built pawtrck, an iOS app to track everything about your dog.

Hi!

I built pawtrck, an iPhone app for dog owners who want their dog’s care records in one place.

It started from a pretty simple problem: dog care is usually scattered across Notes, Reminders, photos, screenshots, fitness apps, and memory. pawtrck brings the main parts together:

• Walks, runs, and bikejoring sessions
• Distance, duration and estimated pawsteps
• Meal, treat, calorie and weight tracking
• Medications, vaccinations, symptoms and vet visits.
• Training plan and progress
• Shareable activity cards after exercise

One thing I’ve heard from dog owners is that dog walks can mess up their own fitness stats because they’re slower and more stop-start than normal workouts. pawtrck keeps the dog’s activitiy separate and dog-specific.

The app is freemium, with Plus ($3.99/mo) for advanced features and a 1 month Free Trial.

I’d really appreciate feedback from iOS users, especially around onboarding, pricing and whether the app feels useful enough to keep using long term.

We built an iOS app to keep your dog’s health history in one place

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS dog wellness app we launched a little over a month ago.

One of the main reasons we built it was how easily a dog’s health information becomes scattered across paper records, calendar reminders, notes and old messages from the vet.

The Health section lets dog owners keep track of:

• Medications and dosage information
• Vaccinations and their dates
• Vet appointments
• Symptoms, severity and history
• Weight records and trends
• Health records that can later be exported as a vet-friendly PDF

pawtrck is not a wearable health monitor and doesn’t measure heart rate, breathing or other vital signs. It also doesn’t diagnose conditions or replace veterinary care.

The idea is simply to give owners a clearer, chronological record they can refer to and share when needed.

Health is one part of the app; pawtrck also brings together diet, training and on-leash exercise tracking for walks, runs and bikejoring sessions.

Full disclosure: we built pawtrck ourselves. We’d genuinely appreciate feedback from dog owners: which health records do you currently struggle to keep organized, and is there anything important you think we’re missing?

The core experience is free, with optional pawtrck Plus for expanded features and history, but we don’t limit anything related to Health (except for the vet-ready PDF) as that would just be opportunistic

[Self-Promotion] We built pawtrck so your dog’s life isn’t scattered across five apps

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends who built pawtrck and launched it on the App Store a little over a month ago.

pawtrck is an iOS wellness app that keeps your dog’s exercise, health, diet and training records together in one place.

Some of its main features include:
• GPS tracking for on-leash walks, runs and bikejoring sessions
• Route, distance, duration and weather context
• Estimated pawsteps and exercise calories
• Customizable activity cards with different photos, layouts and colours
• Meals, treats, weight and calorie trends
• Medications, vaccines, symptoms and vet appointments
• Training plans and progress tracking

The exercise tracker uses the owner’s phone, so it works best for on-leash activities. Pawsteps and exercise calories are estimates based on the dog’s profile and activity, not direct measurements from a wearable or veterinary guidance.

There’s a free version covering the core experience, with optional pawtrck Plus for expanded features and history.

We’re still early, and feedback from actual dog owners has already helped us identify several improvements. If you have a dog and use iOS, we’d genuinely love to hear what feels useful, confusing or missing🙂‍↕️

We built a tracker for walking, running, and bikejoring with your dog. would love feedback from this community

Hi everyone!
Full transparency: this is a promotional post, but we genuinely want feedback from people who regularly run with their dogs.

We’re two friends who built pawtrck, an iOS app designed to help dog owners track their activities together. It currently has three tracking modes:

Walk
Run
Bikejoring

It records the route, distance, duration, pawsteps, and estimated calories burned. It’s primarily designed for on-leash activities, where the owner and dog follow the same route together.
One of our favourite features is the ability to turn each completed activity into a shareable card, similar to Strava. You can choose from multiple layouts and colour combinations, customize the information shown, and share the result without having to post directly from the app.

We’d really value feedback from people in this community: What would make an app like this genuinely useful for running with your dog? Are there specific stats, safety features, training details, or activity types you’d want to see?

Two friends built our first iOS app after work. 30 days in, how do these analytics look?

Me and my best friend have been working day and night to build our first app for about 10 months and we finally published our app about 30 days ago.

We don’t have a budget for running aggressive Meta or TikTok Ads, but we’ve been doing cold outreach on Instagram to dog profiles and gifting them 3 months of our Plus plan. They are mostly micro influencers, but there are about 20 influencers/dog owners who downloaded our app. They have been giving feedback and some of them even posted us on their stories even though we say “we don’t expect you to post anything, we just want the right people using it”.

We will start posting on TikTok and boost our strong content soon.

How do our analtytics look? Are we doing something wrong?

I would appreciate your insights because we are very new to this.

Launched a niche iOS app 3 weeks ago with $0 ad budget. what actually worked for you early on?

Me and my friend just launched pawtrck. It’s a dog health and activity tracker for iOS. 3 weeks in, 42 downloads, zero ad spend.

We’ve been doing influencer gifting (giving micro dog influencers 3 months free), posting on Reddit, reaching out manually. One influencer already posted organically which was nice to see.

Curious what actually moved the needle for others in the early days, especially with no budget. ASO? Specific communities? Cold outreach?

Happy to share more numbers if useful. 🙏🏻

There’s no Strava for dogs. So I built one.

I have a 7-year-old American Pitbull named Pablo. When I started tracking our walks with my Apple Watch, I kept googling things like “how many km should a male pitbull walk per day” and then trying to hit that number manually.
Apple Watch has tons of exercise modes but none of them include “walk with dog.” I knew it wouldn’t change the data but I genuinely wanted Pablo to be part of it somehow.

So my best friend and I built pawtrck. It tracks your dog’s walks in real time, shows distance, duration, pawsteps, and generates a shareable summary card at the end. think Strava but the main character is your dog. We also added health records, vaccines, meds, vet visits, diet tracking, weight history. The whole thing.

Just launched on iOS 3 weeks ago. Zero ad budget, figuring it out as we go.

Would love to hear if this resonates with anyone here, especially if you’re a dog owner who’s ever tried to track this stuff manually.

I’m adding Pablo’s photo with our exercise summary as well 🫡
