See what your pet
might need.

Take one photo — AI analyses it on your iPhone and gives you a suggestion. Photos never leave your device.

Why it exists

Each one became a feature.

My cat keeps staring at the empty bowl at 6 AM and I never know if she's actually hungry or just bored.
The problem it started from
Is she limping or just stretching? I wish something could tell me what's normal for her.
Why the evidence matters
I don't want my pet's photos going to some cloud service. Keep it on my phone.
Why it runs locally

How it works

Four steps, all on the device.

Step 1

Set up a profile

Breed, age and feeding schedule — context sharpens the suggestion.

Step 2

Capture

Photo, or pick from your library.

Step 3

Analyse locally

Runs locally on your iPhone, works offline after setup.

Step 4

See the evidence

Every suggestion comes with evidence, saved to history.

What it detects

8 need categories, 6 moods.

Each category shows the behaviour it observed and why it suggests that need.

Wants food

Near empty bowl, focused on food.

Wants water

Actively drinking

Walk · play · attention

Pacing, play bows, pawing.

Discomfort

Hunching, curling, guarding.

Moods

Happy, relaxed, tense, fearful, curious, bored.

What it saw

Every suggestion shows the frames and reasoning behind it.

Privacy · 15 September 2026

Private by architecture.

The design makes trust unnecessary — you can verify it yourself.

Zero uploads

Photos stay on your phone

Clips, frames and results never leave the device.

Works offline

Works offline after setup

Download the model once — then airplane mode works.

No cost

No subscription, no limits

No cloud inference, no metered usage, no hidden fees.

What the app accesses

  • Camera. Used to capture photos or video clips of your pet for analysis. Captures are processed locally and are not stored beyond the analysis session unless you choose to save them to history.
  • Photo library. If you grant access, you can pick existing photos for analysis. The app reads only the selected file — it does not browse or upload your entire library.
  • Local storage. The app stores pet profiles, analysis history, and downloaded AI models on your device. This data remains on-device and is never transmitted elsewhere.

What the app does NOT do

  • It does not collect analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics.
  • It does not use tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, or third-party analytics SDKs.
  • It does not upload photos, clips, or results to any server.
  • It does not require an internet connection after the initial model download.

Downloaded AI models

AI models are downloaded once during setup and stored locally on your device. These models are provided by their respective open-source projects and are processed entirely on-device. No data is sent back to model providers during or after download.

Network usage

The app connects to the internet only to download AI models during initial setup or when downloading a new model. All other functionality works fully offline.

Children's privacy

The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users. The app does not collect personal information at all — all data remains on your device.

Changes, and getting in touch

If this policy ever changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions go to info@solutionforest.net.
