For dog and cat people

Your pet, alive in your pocket.

Smolbean turns a photo of your pet into a living twin that blinks, tilts its head and lives the day with you. Look after them here, with real meals, walks and medicine on time, and they thrive here.

The care you mean to give

You love them completely. The schedule is another matter.

The monthly heartworm chewEasy to forget, and it only works on time
Medicine twice a day"Did you give it, or did I?"
The kennel cough boosterNo boarding or daycare without it
The evening walkA restless dog, and a chewed shoe
Weight, a little at a timeUnnoticed until the vet mentions it
"When was the last one?"The vet's question, every visit
Made from your photo

Not a cartoon. Them.

Choose a photo and your iPhone lifts your pet out of it, whiskers and all. They sit on a velvet cushion in front of a window that follows the light of the day, and they blink, tilt their head, flick an ear and fall asleep at night.

  • Their mood follows real care: fed and walked, they glow; skip the walk and they get restless
  • Tap them for a fuss. They notice
  • Lifted out on your iPhone, not on a server

Reminders in their voice

Breakfast was promised.

Meals, medicine, preventives, grooming and the vet, each on its own rhythm. Reminders arrive in your pet's own voice, and you can tap Fed or Given right on the notification.

  • Two weeks' notice before every booster
  • A walk nudge only on days without a walk
  • Walks timed on your Lock Screen, and found automatically when you forget to log them

The nightly diary

They keep a diary.

Every evening your pet writes about the day you had together: the walks, the meals, the treats you thought nobody counted. Written by Apple's on-device intelligence, so it never leaves your phone.

"I was given my half tablet inside a piece of cheese. I knew. I ate the cheese anyway, slowly, so everyone could see I was being a good sport."

The diary: entries written in the pet's voice
Care plan and health record

Ready for every vet visit.

Smolbean drafts a care plan for your pet's breed and age, then keeps the record: weight over time, every vaccination and treatment, two weeks of walks, and the vet's number one tap away.

  • Life stages sized to the breed, with what matters now
  • Breed notes, like keeping flat-faced dogs cool on walks
  • Export the full care log any time
The health record: a weight chart and walks over two weeks
Private by design

Their life stays on your iPhone.

Without an account, records and the diary stay on your device, and a photo leaves only if you ask for a studio portrait, deleted as soon as it's made. An account is optional: it keeps your pet on every phone you sign in to, and friends only ever see what you choose to share. When you talk to your pet, your voice is turned into text on your iPhone and never leaves it. No ads and no tracking. The diary is written by Apple's on-device model, not a cloud service.

Questions

Does it work for cats?

Yes. Cats get their own care plan, play in place of walks, and a voice that is, frankly, less impressed with you.

What makes a good photo?

Your pet in full view, facing you, in good light. Smolbean lifts them out on your iPhone in a second or two. If a photo doesn't lift cleanly, it is shown in an arched frame instead, and you can try another any time.

Which iPhones write the diary?

On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the diary is written by Apple's on-device model. Other iPhones use Smolbean's own hand-written phrasebook, built from the same facts about your day.

Can my partner use it too?

Yes. With a free account you can invite someone to look after your pet from their own iPhone, and you both see the same pet, the same walks and the same meals. Membership works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers the household.

Is it veterinary advice?

No. Smolbean keeps the schedule your vet sets and offers general guidance by breed and age. Your vet knows your pet best.

What happens after the free week?

The annual membership begins at $69.99 unless you cancel at least a day before the trial ends, in Settings on your iPhone. You are not charged during the trial.
