You won’t get this time back. Here are the small things you may want to preserve while you still can.
A free companion for the time between the prognosis and the goodbye. One short message at a time, one small thing you can do in about five minutes — so dread doesn’t take all the time that’s still theirs.
If your dog or cat is nearing the end of their life, most of what you have is already photographs. A photograph cannot preserve how they moved, how they sounded, or the way an ordinary room changed because they were in it. Those have to be captured while they are still happening.
One thing at a time. Never a list.
You’ll never be shown fourteen assignments. You get one note with one action, the reason it may matter later, and explicit permission to skip it, change it, or stop altogether. When you have done one thing, the first and largest button says that’s enough for now.
For a dog
Film ten seconds of the way Bo comes toward you.
For a cat
Record thirty seconds of whatever sound Juniper is already making.
Free, and it stays free.
The companion costs nothing. There’s no trial, no upgrade to unlock the rest of the notes, and nothing is held back from you.
What this is not
This is not veterinary advice. It won’t assess quality of life, interpret a symptom, predict how long you have, or tell you when it’s time. Those belong with your veterinary team, and nothing here is a substitute for talking to them.
You can stop
Every message and every screen carries a way to pause, to say your animal has died, or to stop everything. It needs no explanation, and we won’t ask for one. Nothing here has streaks, scores, or overdue warnings — if you put it down, nothing breaks.
Afterward, if you want it
What you gather stays yours, and you can download all of it at any time. Later — only if you want to, and never during the hardest part — we can help you turn it into a printed book with private links to the movement and sound a photograph cannot hold. It’s a separate, paid thing, and it’s not available yet.
How this content is written
These notes are written and edited in house. They are about preserving things — how an animal moves, how they sound, where they sit — and they make no claims about veterinary care: nothing here describes what happens at an appointment, how long anything takes, or what your provider offers. Where a subject touches veterinary care, the note asks you to put the question to your own vet rather than answering it.
If a note would have to assert something about veterinary care to be useful, we cut the assertion rather than dress it up — which is why the keepsakes note asks you what your provider includes instead of telling you.
Your privacy, briefly
