Heyo DEV Crowd!๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Sorin, the maker, and this is Tamadoggo.

Tamadoggo started with my own two dogs, Frankie and Carra ๐Ÿถ

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), and all the funny little moments that make them them.

The pet apps I tried were basically medical trackers: useful, but cold. They also made me feel a bit guilty for every gap in the timeline.

I wanted the opposite: a warm journal of a life that just happens to be smart.

So what is Tamadoggo?

Tamadoggo is a living journal first.

You can log:

  • ๐Ÿฆด Walks
  • ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Meals
  • ๐Ÿฉบ Vet visits
  • โš–๏ธ Weight
  • ๐ŸŽ‰ Milestones
  • โค๏ธ Little everyday moments

Over time, those entries become a story you can actually enjoy scrolling back through.

The AI works quietly in the background. It doesn't nag and it doesn't diagnose. Instead, it:

  • Surfaces patterns you might've missed
  • Gives breed- and age-aware nudges
  • Turns a photo of a vet document into proper records
  • Writes a warm monthly recap of your pet's month

Free vs Pro

The free tier is genuinely complete:

  • One pet
  • Unlimited timeline
  • Weight charts
  • Personal reminders

Pro adds:

  • AI insights
  • Vet document scanning
  • Monthly summaries
  • Unlimited pets

I tried hard to make Pro feel like an invitation to go further, not a gate in front of the features that matter.

Under the hood

Built with:

  • React Native
  • Supabase
  • Claude's tool use via an MCP server

I'd love your feedback

It's just me building this, so I'd really appreciate honest feedbackโ€”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 is on the roadmap, along with whatever other features people suggest that genuinely make the app better.
