Most pet apps are clinical trackers. Tamadoggo is a living journal, a warm place to hold every walk, meal, vet visit and milestone. What stands out: gentle AI that never nags or diagnoses. It surfaces patterns across the timeline, gives breed and age-aware suggestions, scans a vet doc (photo or PDF) into auto-filled records, and writes a warm monthly letter. Each pet gets a "Crib", an illustrated home for their whole life. The free tier is also genuinely complete. PRO adds the AI magic.
Heyo PH Crowd!👋 I'm Sorin, the maker, a solo developer building this from Bucharest.
Tamadoggo started with my own two dogs, Frankie and Carra. I kept forgetting the small things, when a limp started, what we'd changed about their food (Frankie is super allergic so her food changes often), the funny stuff that makes them them. The pet apps I tried were basically medical trackers: useful, but cold, and they made me feel a bit guilty for every gap. I wanted the opposite, a warm journal of a life, that happens to be smart.
So Tamadoggo is a living journal first. You log walks, meals, vet visits, weight, milestones, little moments, and it builds into a story you can scroll back through. The AI works quietly in the background: it never nags and never diagnoses, just surfaces patterns you might've missed, gives breed- and age-aware nudges, turns a photo of a vet document into proper records, and once a month writes you a warm recap of your pet's month.
The free tier is genuinely complete, you get one pet, unlimited timeline, weight charts, your own reminders. Pro adds the deeper AI (insights, vet-doc scanning, monthly summaries) and unlimited pets. I tried hard to make Pro an invitation to go further, not a gate in front of the things that matter.
Under the hood it's React Native + Supabase, with the AI built on Claude's tool-use through an MCP server.
It's just me on this, so I'd really love your honest feedback, especially from anyone who's found other pet apps too clinical, or who's juggling more than one animal. What would make this something you'd actually open every day?
PS. iPhone only for now, Android's on the roadmap and other cool features and whatever else people might suggest to improve.
Most pet apps stop at cute photo storage, so the AI-insights layer, which turns daily entries into actual patterns, is the harder, more useful half. Congrats on shipping. What kinds of insights can a new owner expect to get back, and how soon do they start showing up?
Hey Sorin, congrats on shipping this!
Went through the website after seeing it here and I really think the Crib concept is a warm feature.
One thing that stuck with me, though, is the origin story (allergic staffie, growing paper stack) might be a more compelling hook than "beautifully kept". That specific chaos is exactly what your buyer recognizes. I write landing pages for a living so this stuff jumps out.
Curious to see how this one takes off!
The monthly “warm letter” is a lovely touch. It makes logging feel rewarding and helps pet owners reflect on the month.
Congrats on the launch! A warm, story-driven approach to pet tracking is such a refreshing alternative to cold, clinical apps.
Love the philosophy behind this ❤️ Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I'm curious to see how the monthly recaps evolve, those sound like they could become something pet owners really look forward to reading and keeping over the years.
Congrats on shipping, Sorin! I love that you went journal first rather than tracker first for this.
I'm a solo founder building something architecturally similar in a different domain: AI-powered couples journal, where the AI's tone is similarly load-bearing (has to challenge without preaching, facilitate without taking sides). Two questions where I think your decisions might actually transfer to my work:
The "gentle AI that never nags or diagnoses" constraint is the most thoughtful part of Tamadoggo, and probably the hardest to get right. How is it actually encoded, is it primarily prompt-based, structural (the AI is given tools that only let it surface, never recommend), or a separate review layer that filters output before it reaches the user?
You mentioned the AI is built on Claude's tool-use through an MCP server. I'm currently on streaming Claude API and have been wondering whether tool-use is the better fit for the kind of pattern-surfacing-across-events work both our products do. What pushed you toward MCP + tool-use over prompt-based generation?
This immediately caught my attention because I also own a dog. Though I only have a dog myself, I also curious about that are you planning to expand the experience beyond dogs in the future, for example to cats or other pets? I can imagine many pet owners would love this kind of app.
This is very interesting. It seems positioned at a consumer app, but have you considered running a pilot program with vets, dog sitters, dog walkers, or doggy daycares? This could be an exceptionally useful and cute way for all of these businesses to give updates to their dog owners.
