The family journal, for the people who love your pet
Right now the photos live on three phones, a group chat, and grandma's fridge. TinyPaws gathers them into one shared feed — milestones, mud incidents, ordinary Tuesdays — that the family and friends you invite can follow, add to, and react to. Followers, not strangers.
- Everyone you invite adds for free
- No ads, no algorithm, no strangers
A journal the whole family writes, not a stage
Social apps turn a pet's life into content for strangers. TinyPaws keeps it a family matter — chronological, invite-only, and quiet.
- Chronological, always. The feed runs in the order life happened. No algorithm decides which of your pet's days mattered.
- Everyone adds, nobody performs. Partner, kids, grandma, the friend who dog-sits — anyone you invite can drop in photos and notes. No likes to chase, no strangers to please.
- Reactions, not comment wars. A heart, a paw, a laugh, happy tears — that's the whole vocabulary. Warmth without a thread to moderate.
- Many households, one pet. Your pet can belong to more than one home — the ex who shares custody, the parents who babysit. Everyone sees the same story, from their own phone.
- High-quality photos, kept private. Photos are stored for the family archive, and GPS and camera metadata are stripped automatically before anything is shared.
A social feed's job is to hold your attention. A family journal's job is to still be there in twelve years, when the couch is empty and the photos are the point.
That's the half of TinyPaws that costs money to run — private photo storage for the family archive — and it's the only thing we charge for. The people you invite never pay.
Ordinary moments, and the ones you'll never forget
Most of what you add is small and daily. Some of it is a milestone. TinyPaws makes room for both, and lets each moment carry the day and the place it really happened.
The whole app, for someone who just wants to see the dog: one simple feed, a big tap-to-react, and nothing else to learn.
Tap to love thisGrandparents get the simple version, automatically
Not everyone wants an app to learn. Invite someone to watch along and TinyPaws quietly gives them a feed-first version — the photos, a way to react, and nothing to manage.
- No tabs, no settings to fear. The watch-along view opens straight to the feed. Nothing to break and nothing they can accidentally change.
- They can still react. A big, obvious way to send a heart back — so the people who love your pet from afar feel like part of it.
- Or skip the app entirely. Put them on an email digest they opt into — the best moments in their inbox, one click to stop any time.
Family photos deserve family rules
TinyPaws is funded by subscriptions, not attention. The promises below hold whether you pay or not.
See a real pet's public page — Mochi the ShibaNo ads, ever
Your pet's photos will never sit next to an ad, and never feed one either.
We never sell your data
Subscriptions are the whole business. There's no data broker at the end of this feed.
Invite-only, by default
Nothing is public unless you deliberately publish it. No discovery page, no suggested strangers, no search engines.
Location stripped from photos
GPS and camera metadata are removed automatically when photos are added. Place labels are words you choose — your home address never travels with a picture of your couch.
Yours to take with you
Export the whole archive — photos included — free, any time. Even if you stop paying, everything you added stays viewable and exportable. Full GDPR export and delete.
You choose who's in it
Every person on the feed is someone you invited, in a role you set. Change it or remove them from your phone, any time.
Try everything for 14 days. Keep everything either way.
Every new household starts with the full family journal — no card, nothing to cancel. What happens after is written here, not in footnote grey.

Day 15, if you don't
Every memory you added stays viewable and exportable after the trial — and the journal stays alive: every milestone saves free, plus 5 photos a month. Care keeps working free, and export stays available.
The same place keeps the feeding routines, the health log, and the note for the sitter. See how care works.
Asked by people who read privacy policies
Does my family have to pay?+
Never. Only the household owner pays. Everyone you invite — partner, kids, grandparents, friends — adds and reacts free, always.
What's the difference between “can add” and “watching along”?+
Everyone you invite sees the feed. People who can add post photos, notes and milestones and react; people watching along follow and react, but can't change anything. Grandparents watching along get a simple, feed-first version of the app automatically.
What happens to our photos if I stop paying?+
They stay viewable and exportable — and you can keep adding: every milestone saves free, plus 5 photos a month. A plan makes every day unlimited.
Is any of this public?+
No. There's no feed for strangers, no discovery, no search indexing. The journal is visible only to the people you've invited. Sharing outside the family happens through links you create and can revoke.
Can grandparents follow along without the app?+
Yes — invite them to watch along for the simple in-app view, or put them on an email digest of the best moments, with a one-click way out. They opt in themselves; we don't email anyone you haven't asked us to.
What about the photos' location data?+
GPS and camera metadata are stripped automatically when photos are added. Place labels are text you type, not coordinates — your home address never travels with a picture of your couch.
Can one person follow pets from different families?+
Yes. A friend can follow your dog and their sister's cat from one account — every pet they watch lands in one feed on their phone.
What if someone wants to stop following?+
They tap “Stop following” and they're out — no awkwardness, nothing to explain, and they can be re-invited any time.
