In the making · iOS first

Your dog's own little world.

Dogoverse turns everyday walks into a private map of favourite spots, walk postcards and a small circle of dog friends. No pace. No leaderboards. Just the bench, the plane tree and whoever's heading out.

Try it · fictional demo

Poke around a little world.

A made-up park to show how Dogoverse feels. Pick a character, tap a place, then take a walk and see what it leaves behind.

This demo asks for no location and sends nothing anywhere. The park doesn't exist.

1 Pick a little character

2 Tap a place

Tap a stamp on the map to open its story, or tap Mila's trace to answer it.

3 Keep the postcard

Finish a little walk and its postcard lands here.

How it works

Four small things, done gently.

  1. A calm map that's yours

    Start a walk on your phone and it draws quietly on a soft map. The places you care about get their own stamps. There's no speed, no pace and nobody to beat.

  2. "Heading out"

    Tell a few chosen friends you're leaving in 15 or 30 minutes and where to meet. They answer once: coming, or not today. The invite quietly expires, and it never switches on live location.

  3. Answer a trace

    When a friend shares a past walk, it appears as a small dated stamp. Send a paw hello, save the route, or ask to be called on their next walk. Old traces never look live.

  4. A character with their ears

    Choose the character and coat that feels like your dog. Every combination is free in the MVP. It's your pin on the map, and the face friends see on the traces you choose to share.

Postcards & place memory

Every walk leaves a postcard.

When a walk ends it's saved, and you get a postcard: the date, the shape of the route, your character. Add one photo, one line, one place. Or nothing at all; "Done" is always the biggest button.

Our bench

Only yours

Same place, another day.

  • 5 OctShared a quiet ten minutes.
  • 19 OctWatched the ducks from a safe distance.
  • 1 NovSame bench, colder noses.

Link a walk to a place you care about and its story grows, one postcard at a time. Going back to the same spot counts just as much as finding a new one. And a place only counts when you link it yourself; the app never guesses a visit from GPS.

Privacy

Private first. Social when you say so.

  • Your walks are yours.A recorded walk is private. Nothing is shared until you choose a past trace to share.
  • Friends are picked by you.There's no public feed and no strangers on your map. A small circle, by invitation.
  • Shared routes are trimmed.The stretch around where a walk starts and ends is cut before a friend sees it.
  • No live friend tracking in the MVP.A past trace is a still, dated stamp. It is never a moving dot.
  • Postcard extras stay on your phone.Photos, notes and place links are kept on your device for now. They aren't part of cloud backup yet.

Questions

Fair things to ask.

Something missing? Say hello and ask us directly.

What is Dogoverse?

A walking app built around your dog rather than your fitness. It keeps a private map of your walks, lets you mark the places that matter, gives every walk a small postcard and connects you with a few dog friends you choose.

Can I download it today?

Not yet. Dogoverse is an MVP in development and will come to iPhone first. There is no App Store listing, so this page has no download button. If you'd like to follow along or share an opinion, email paw@dogoverse.cryoss.com.

Is it a fitness tracker or a GPS collar?

Neither. There's no pace, no step goals and no leaderboards, and no hardware on your dog. Your phone records a walk only after you start one, and a ten-minute stroll counts exactly as much as a long hike.

Who can see my walks and places?

Only you, unless you decide otherwise. You pick the friends, and you pick which past trace to share with them. Before a friend sees a route, the part around where it starts and ends is trimmed away.

Does it share my live location?

No. The MVP has no live friend tracking. What friends can see is a past trace you chose to share, shown as a still stamp with a date so it can't be mistaken for where you are right now.

What does "Heading out" do?

It's a short invitation. You choose 15 or 30 minutes, a meeting point and the friends to tell. Each of them can accept or pass, and the invite ends on its own. Sending one doesn't turn on location sharing.

What are walk postcards and place memory?

When you finish a walk you get a postcard with the date, the route's shape and your character. You can add a photo, a line or a place, or leave it plain. Linking a walk to a place adds it to that place's story, so "Our bench" slowly fills with its own days.

Does a place count as visited automatically?

No. A walk belongs to a place only when you link it yourself. Dogoverse doesn't infer visits from GPS, and it doesn't guess how your dog felt or how healthy they are.

Is there an Apple Watch app, Android version or other languages?

Not at the moment. The MVP is iOS first. Apple Watch, Android and more languages are things we'd like to do, but they aren't built and we're not promising dates.

What will it cost?

Pricing isn't decided. In the MVP every character and coat colour is free. When anything about cost is settled, it will be written here plainly.

Does the demo on this page use my location?

No. The park is invented, the walk is an animation, and the page never asks for location permission. Nothing you tap in the demo is sent anywhere.

Come say hello before the first walk.

Dogoverse is still being built. If you have a dog, an opinion, or both, a short email would make our day.
