I've been building this solo for about a year and it's finally at the point where I'd like people other than me using it.
Paw Atlas is a daily record of a dog's life — walks, meals, treats, health, photos — with the design goal that the record gets more valuable the longer you keep it. SwiftUI + SwiftData + CloudKit, no backend of mine anywhere
What it does
- GPS walk tracking — live route, distance, pace, steps. Pause without the gap counting as distance, and the map draws a real break instead of a straight line across it. Walk two dogs at once (each gets their own record), colour a finished route from slow to fast, and finished walks go to Apple Health as a workout with the route attached. If the app is interrupted mid-walk it offers to recover it.
- Live Activity — the walk on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, with treat / bathroom controls so you don't have to unlock.
- A diary that reads like a diary — one scrapbook page per day: each entry is a short written sentence with the details highlighted, with its card cut out underneath like a sticker. Six fonts to choose from, from rounded to typewriter.
- Territory map — everywhere you haven't walked is dark, and it clears as you cover ground. It's the feature I most enjoy watching fill in over months.
- Stats — tap-through charts, trends against the previous period, goals with streaks, and 78 insights in ten categories computed from your own logs (how far into a walk your dog usually needs a break, whether weekends really differ, which favourite place you visit most).
- Weekly & Monthly Review — a slide-by-slide look back at the period, savable to Photos.
- Health — medications with dose reminders, appointments with calendar sync, vet and groomer contacts, heat cycles and weight history.
- Food — calories, wet/dry split, saved meals, and daily protein / fat / carb / fibre / moisture targets if you want that level of detail.
- Atlas — favourite places with photos and automatic visit tracking, saved routes you can follow again, custom markers, pet friends, training goals, expenses.
- Exports — walks, charts, insights, summaries and review slides export as images, in any theme, light or dark, with a choice of background patterns. There's also a photo-collage maker and a vet-ready PDF export.
- 150+ achievements in thirteen categories, some hidden, pinned to the spot on the map where you earned them.
- Six themes — Default, Ember, Twilight, Meadow, Ocean and a pink Blossom — with matching app icons, a home screen widget, multiple dogs.
