NINE - NINE – a feline health journal app for cat owners and vets

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of NINE, a minimalist feline health journal built for real‑world vet visits, not just cute graphs. ​ 🐈 The problem Most cat parents rely on memory, scattered notes, or text message histories when something’s wrong. But when you’re in a vet’s office and your cat is stressed, “I think it started a few weeks ago?” is not helpful data. ​ Vets need exact timelines: when did the vomiting start, how fast did the weight drop, what changed around that time? Human memory is fuzzy, especially in emergencies. ​ 🧾 Why existing tools fall short General habit or mood trackers aren’t designed for veterinary workflows. Many pet apps focus on cute photos, social feeds, or gamified badges instead of medically relevant details. Spreadsheets work… until you’re trying to scroll through them on your phone in a waiting room. 🧩 What NINE does NINE turns your cat’s daily data into a professional health journal: ​ Weight tracking with simple trend views so you can spot gradual changes early. Body Condition Score (BCS) logging with built‑in reference guides. Structured symptom logging with severity levels and photo attachments instead of vague “not feeling well”. Vaccine records and reminders in one place, not across emails and paper cards. ​ When it’s time to see the vet, NINE generates a PDF health summary covering weight history, symptom timelines, and vaccination records – something you can email ahead of time or hand over at the clinic. ​ 🔐 Privacy & pricing Basic: free forever, local storage by default, no ads, zero tracking. Pro: vet‑ready PDF reports, secure cloud backup & sync, and unlimited symptom history (subscription, with a 7‑day free trial). ​ 💡 Who this is for Cat parents who want to catch issues earlier and have calmer, more effective vet visits. Multi‑cat households that are tired of mixing up who had which symptom and when. Vets who wish more clients came in with clear histories instead of “I’m not sure”. ​ 👨‍💻 Why I built this I’m based in Port Coquitlam, Canada, and originally built NINE for my own cats and for real clinic visits. Every screen in the app is designed around the question: “What would actually make a vet’s job easier and give cat parents more peace of mind?” ​ 🚀 What’s next More flexible PDF report templates for different vet preferences. Better support for multi‑cat households and shared access within a family. iOS version (currently in planning – Android is live first). ​ I’d love your feedback on: Does the logging flow feel fast enough for daily use? Are we capturing the right fields for symptoms and BCS? What would make this a “must‑recommend” tool for vets and cat shelters? Thanks for checking out NINE. I’ll be here all day answering questions and would really appreciate any comments, upvotes, or brutally honest feedback 🐾
