A welfare-first pet app · free · iOS 18+
It reads your pet —
and stops when it isn't sure.
Film up to fifteen seconds of your dog or cat. PawQuirks reads the body language, describes what it sees in plain words — and when the moment is right, your pet gets a playful voice line. When it isn't sure, it says so. That's the whole point.
Free. No subscription, no ads. The voice is AI — the pet is one hundred percent real. Outside Canada? Ask us to save you a spot.
A reading and a voice card over your own clip. Illustration — real clips coming with launch.
Most pet-AI apps will say anything for a laugh. This one is built the other way around.
Unclear clip? It holds back instead of inventing a read. No confident nonsense.
A welfare check runs before every voice line. Not a happy read — no funny line. Full stop.
Validated against a 60-scenario welfare suite before any update ships.
How it works
Three steps. No guesswork dressed up as magic.
-
Record a short clip
Film up to fifteen seconds of your dog or cat doing their thing — a tail wag, a play bow, a slow blink on the windowsill.
-
Get a careful read
PawQuirks describes the body language it sees in plain language. When it can't tell, it says so — it abstains rather than guess.
-
Maybe a voice card
When the read is playful and clear, your pet gets a short voice line, spoken aloud over your clip. Sometimes there's no voice line — and that's the point.
What a read sounds like
Same kind of clip. Three honest outcomes.
"You're home. You're HOME. This is the best day of my life. Again."
A loose, full-body wag with a play bow is a clear, happy read — so the voice card gets to be silly.
"The slow blink means I trust you. Don't make it weird."
Soft eyes, settled posture, slow blink — a calm read, and a voice line to match.
No voice line this time. The clip was too dark and too still for a confident read — PawQuirks said so, suggested better light, and didn't invent a story.
That restraint is the product.
Sample voice lines, shown as illustrations of the three outcomes — clear-and-playful, calm, and abstain. Your pet's lines are written fresh from each clip.
The welfare promise
It would rather say nothing than guess about your pet.
Every clip passes through a welfare gate before anything playful happens. Here's the actual flow — no exceptions, no override.
Up to 15 seconds of your dog or cat
Body language, described in plain words
Calm and clearly happy? Unclear? Signs a professional should see?
One of two outcomes, below
PawQuirks reads body language; it is not a veterinary tool and cannot tell you whether your pet is healthy. It can be wrong. If something about your pet worries you, call your vet — don't wait on an app.
What happens to your video
Your clip's whole journey, in plain English.
Your clip is sent to be read and, when there's a voice line, voiced. We name the services we use — no mystery middlemen.
Your clips, readings, and voiced videos live in your account. Inspect them anytime, from inside the app.
One in-app path removes your account and all your data — the exact steps are in the Support section below.
Free means free. We don't sell your data and we don't run ads. There's nothing to monetize you with.

Frequently asked
Can PawQuirks tell me whether my pet is healthy?
No. PawQuirks reads body language and gives a careful read, not a verdict on your pet's health. When it sees signs it wants a professional to look at, it points you to a vet or behaviorist and describes what it saw — it never names a condition.
Why didn't my clip get a voice line?
A voice line only appears when the read is calm, clear, and playful. If the clip was unclear, too short, or the read wasn't a happy one, PawQuirks holds back on purpose. Try a longer, steadier clip of your pet in frame.
Is the voice really my pet talking?
No. The voice line is AI-generated, written from what PawQuirks reads in the clip. The pet is one hundred percent real; the words are not. We say this plainly because honesty is the point.
What does it cost?
PawQuirks is free. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription in this version. If you ever see a charge that mentions PawQuirks, it isn't coming from us — email hello@pawquirks.app and we'll help you check.
I'm not in Canada — when can I get it?
PawQuirks launched in Canada first, with more countries planned soon after. Email hello@pawquirks.app with your country and you'll hear from us the moment it reaches you.
What happens to my clips and data?
Your clips leave your phone to be read and, when there's a voice line, voiced — then they're stored under your account. You can inspect and delete your clips, and delete your whole account, from inside the app. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and on the How it reads page.
Deleting your account and data
You can delete everything from inside the app, no email required:
Home → gear icon → Settings → Account → "Delete account & data."
The confirmation names exactly how many pets and clips it's about to remove. On confirm, PawQuirks deletes your account and your data on its servers — your pets, clips, readings, voiced clips, and activity events — and signs you out. Signing in again with the same Apple ID starts a brand-new account; it does not restore the old one.
One thing is kept on purpose: an anonymous, content-hashed cache of synthesized audio. It is not tied to you, contains no personal information, and is shared across everyone. This is described in the Privacy Policy.
If the in-app delete ever fails, email privacy@pawquirks.com and we'll complete it for you.
