Today
The day's counts (stools, loose stools, meals, symptoms, doses) and a protection line when a dose is coming due. Below, the day's entries in time order, each with its author. Swipe to see the day before.
Three tabs
Each answers one question. Nothing to configure.
History
The vet view: 7 days, 30 days or a custom range, filters by entry type, counts for the period and the entries that make them. One button shares the whole thing as text.
The pet
Name, photo, age, weight history and the protection status with its dates. Below, the people who care for the animal: who has which role, who is invited, who is sitting and until when.
An entry in seconds
A dock at the bottom of Today: Stool, Meal, Other. "Now" and the only pet are the defaults, and the form asks only for what that type of entry needs.
- Stool type 4
- Time, Bristol type 1–7 on a slider with a description and an image, a note and an optional photo. The day's photos open in a gallery with zoom; they reach the server downsized and with EXIF stripped.
- Meal
- Time, one or more items with grams and a label, a note. So that food can be set against stools.
- Symptom vomiting
- Time and one or more from a list: vomiting, no appetite, lethargy, blood, mucus, diarrhoea without a stool, other. Plus free text.
- Protection
- Deworming and tick prevention with a protection length, vaccination with a name and a valid-until date. A dose is one entry; the app derives the next due date from the last dose and shows it on Today, on the pet tab and in a notification. An overdue dose is shown as overdue, never hidden.
- Other
- Weight, a timed note and a walk in minutes, for whoever wants them.
For the vet
Reading it off the phone should take ten seconds.
History shows the last stools with their type and time, the meals around them, the symptoms and the dates of the last doses. The period and the filters narrow the list, and the counts summarise it without ever replacing it: a number is always a view over the entries beneath it.
"Share" produces text with the period header, the summary and the entries, ready to send in a message. Every entry keeps who logged it and when; deleting is soft, so nothing a vet was shown vanishes silently.
Several people, one diary
Everyone at home sees the same thing at the same time. Each entry carries its author.
- Owner
- Reads, logs, edits the pet, manages caregivers and invites. A pet always has at least one owner.
- Household member
- Reads and logs entries and weights. Does not manage the pet or the people.
- Pet sitter until 24 Nov
- A household member for a set time: the access has a mandatory end date, and the screen that grants it lists what the sitter can and cannot do. After the date the access expires by itself, and the sitter's entries stay with their name on them.
- View only
- Reads, never writes. For a relative, or a vet with their own account.
Notifications
Sent from the server, so every phone sees the same thing. Everything is on; a mute is an explicit choice.
What arrives
Someone logged a stool, a loose stool (type 6–7) or a symptom. Someone gave a protection dose. A protection dose ends in a few days. Meals, walks and weights send nothing.
What can be muted
Everything on this phone, one pet, or one kind of event across all pets. A loose stool is its own kind, so it can stay on while ordinary stools are muted. The Notifications screen lists what was pushed and holds the switches.
Works without signal
The phone is used one-handed, outdoors, often while cleaning up.
Write queue
Everything already logged is readable without a connection. An entry added without signal lands in the diary at once with its time and author, carries an "unsent" mark and goes out when the network returns.
Widgets
On the Android and iOS home screen: the last stool, the last meal, the protection status and a "Log a stool" button that saves the type without opening the app.
Your account, your call
Sign in with email, Google or Apple. The account is deleted from inside the app: your entries in shared diaries stay without your name, and a pet you owned alone goes with the account.
Coming to the stores
Petineo is in daily use in its author's household and is being prepared for the App Store and Google Play. The app speaks English, Polish, German, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese.
