A pet care tracker designed to help owners manage vaccinations, feeding schedules, medication, and growth milestones - all in one calm, intuitive place.
Pet owners rely on scattered reminders, memory, or manual notes to manage their pet's care. This creates real consequences for their pets' health and their own peace of mind.
Poor tracking of growth and weight
Inconsistent feeding routines
Missed vaccinations or deworming dates
Difficulty accessing medical history
With a clearer picture of what wasn't working elsewhere, I mapped out what Pawly actually needed to be. The brief I gave myself was simple: a focused tool for daily and medical pet care, nothing else.
I listed every feature I could think of and then cut anything that didn't directly serve a pet owner's core routine. Payments, social sharing, a marketplace, a community feed, all gone. What was left was a tight set of features that covered the real daily need: tasks, reminders, health records, and a calendar.
From there I worked through the structure in wireframes before touching visual design, so the layout decisions were grounded in logic rather than how things looked.
Built around one question: what needs attention today? Each pet shows how many tasks are still pending, and today's task list sits below with the pet and time on every item, ready to tick off. A quick-add button sits in the top corner. At this stage I was deciding priority and order, not styling.
A simple list of every pet, each with a photo, breed, age, and weight so they're easy to tell apart at a glance. An add button in the corner covers new pets, and tapping a pet opens its own profile, where health logs and growth charts live.
A monthly view with dots marking task days, so the shape of the month is visible straight away. Filter chips for each pet narrow it down, and tapping a day lists that day's tasks underneath.
An app focused on task visibility and reminders - no payments, integrations, or social features.

A warm, approachable mobile app with four primary screens: Dashboard, My Pets, Calendar, and Profile.
The home screen shows what needs attention today. With tasks grouped by pet, upcoming items for the week, and quick-add functionality.
A clean list of all pets with photos, breed, age, and weight. Tapping a pet opens their detailed profile with health logs and growth charts.
A monthly calendar view with highlighted task days. Filtering by pet allows focused planning. Tapping a day reveals the full task list.
A personal hub for managing notification preferences, viewing pet summary cards, and adjusting app settings, all in one place.
Pawly is a concept so these are intended outcomes rather than measured ones. But every decision was made with a specific goal in mind. A pet owner using this app should find it easier to stay consistent, less likely to miss a vet visit, and more confident that everything is in one place.
For an app like this, success isn't about the feature count. It's about whether someone reaches for it every single day without thinking twice.
Simplifying this pet care tool into its most essential pieces made me reflect on my own experience caring for pets. Managing feeding schedules, vet visits, and daily routines can easily become overwhelming when life gets busy. Designing Pawly pushed me to focus on what genuinely makes caring for animals easier, rather than adding features that simply sound impressive.
By cutting scope early, shaping clearer user flows, and removing unnecessary complexity, I aimed to create an experience that feels calm and dependable, the kind of tool I would actually want to use to keep track of my own pets’ care. This project reminded me that thoughtful structure and restraint often say more about the quality of a product than a crowded list of features ever could.
