Made for one anxious beagle
Hi, I'm Tony
I'm a product designer in London. I've spent over twenty years designing apps and sites for other people.
Sniff is the first one I've made for my dog.
The dog
He's a rescue. He gets anxious around lots of dogs, and busy days can be a lot for him.
Good, sniffy walks and quiet time help him settle. Working out which ones, and when, is the hard part.
Why I made it
Our rescue beagle can find everyday life overwhelming. Some walks are easier than others, and the care he needs afterwards varies too. A snuffle mat, a lick mat, a chew, some play or quiet time together can all be part of our routine.
Our behaviourist asked us to keep a record. I wanted to see what we were doing across the day, especially on evenings when we were still trying different activities late into the night.
So I made Sniff. Each time we do an activity, we tap to record it. Looking back helps us notice patterns across easier and more difficult days, and understand what seems to help him. Other people may use Sniff differently. The idea is to make it easier to discover what helps your own dog.
What it is, and isn't
Sniff records what you do with your dog and what happened on walks, then points out patterns in your logs.
It doesn't diagnose or recommend treatment. How it works explains what it can and can't tell you.
Free, and staying that way
This version of Sniff stays free. No ads and no account. Your logs stay on your phone.
