One pet journal. Up to 6 people. Free. Family Sharing is HERE!
Hey hunters! 👋
I built @Tamadoggo so pet parents can track their dog or cat's whole life - health, walks, meals, milestones. But a few PH community folks told me: more than one person cares for the pet, so why does only one phone hold the journal? They were right!
Today we're fixing that with Family Sharing:
• Free on every plan. Sharing never costs extra. Invite with a private, single-use link you share however you chat.
• Everyone logs to one shared timeline, each entry tagged with who added it
• If the pet's owner is Pro, everyone sharing that pet gets its AI features too
Also new in 1.2.2: a friendly Family Welcome Hub for new members, a smoother in-form date picker, full-screen event photos you can swipe through, and snapping photos straight from the camera.
This one's personal. I'd love to hear how your family uses it, especially anyone co-raising a pet across two homes.
What would make it feel even more like home?

This could really help people co managing pets across homes.
No more guessing if the dog was already walked or fed.

@vincentbanzpk4 I hope so! I know I use it to keep track of what/when we do with our two pups

family sharing makes total sense... more than one person always helps take care of the pet but usually only one phone has the data. having everyone log to the same timeline is the obvious next step. the "if the owner is Pro, everyone gets AI features" is a generous touch too

@tina_chhabra very much agreed, thank you for the appreciation!
Tamadoggo
@tehreem_fatima5 thanks you for the support and for the actionable insights! will definitely take them into account!
Tamadoggo
@tehreem_fatima5 hmm, that's actually a very interesting idea. thank you for sharing it @tehreem_fatima5 !
Love the decision to make sharing free. Pet care is rarely a one person job, and this feels like a feature that should exist by default. The shared timeline sounds especially for busy families.

@advin_jadis sharing is carrying, hah! thank you!
The AI access extending to everyone on the shared pet is smart touch. It creates a better group experience instead of making non Pro members feel like second class users.

@darly_selby Exactly. The easier it is to use, the better the overall experience, and hopefully the more willing people are to consistently log moments and updates together.
"Congratulations on the launch! The Family Sharing feature looks great. I'm curious—how does the sync work if two people try to update the same pet's meal entry at the exact same time? Is there a conflict resolution mechanism in place?" @s0rvas

@ikram_hussain3 good question! at the current user base this is something with a very low likelihood of happening, but it is also not handled in a robust way. essentially it's a silent last-write-wins, with no warning to either user. meaning whoever finishes editing last will overwrite. admittedly this isn't the best UX, and it should be handled better, but thank you for raising the question because I created an Issue of this with the intention of patching it if the user base increases. thank you for the insightful question!
I have always been the last one in my family to know what Ivy is doing, I see hope now.
