PackLog is a local-first family pet care log. No Specline account required. Most questions are answered below; if you are stuck, email us and we will help.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start using PackLog?
Open the app and tap Create a pack (or try Preview with Hook for a local demo). Add your pet, then log feed, pee, poop, or walk from the Today tab. The demo pack stays on your phone only and does not sync.
How do I invite someone to my pack?
Go to My Tracker → Invite, pick an open seat, and share the pack link by Messages, AirDrop, or copy. On the other phone, open PackLog → I have an invite → paste the link → Accept. Their name is already on the seat.
How does sync work?
Care logs live on each phone in a local database. When online, devices push and pull encrypted updates through a Specline relay so other pack phones can catch up. Specline cannot read your feeds, notes, or photos. The app works offline; logs sync when you are back online (look for the green dot in the app bar).
What is Pack Pro?
Pack Pro unlocks multiple pets, full history, incident photos, schedule and reminders, vet export, and all-time Pack Board stats. Subscriptions are $3.99/month or $29.99/year with a 1-month free trial. Core logging for a small pack stays free.
How do I restore purchases?
Open the paywall or go to Settings → Subscriptions → Restore purchases. Use the same Apple ID that bought Pack Pro. If you recently subscribed, wait a minute and try again on a good network.
How do Home Screen widgets work?
On iOS 17+, add PackLog widgets from the widget gallery. Glance tiles show last fed, last pee, and related stats. Quick-log tiles can log without opening the app. Widgets update after you log in the app or from the widget itself.
Can I use PackLog on a second phone or iPad?
Yes. Use My Tracker → Use on another device to claim the same pack member on a second device. That is a personal device link, not an extra pack seat for someone else.
How do I delete my data?
In Pack settings, you can delete local data or leave/delete a pack. Leaving or deleting also requests wipe of that pack's encrypted blobs from the relay when the device is online. See our privacy policy for details.
Why is sync not working?
Common fixes:
- Confirm both phones are online and show a green sync dot after a few seconds.
- Make sure both devices joined the same pack (not the Hook demo).
- Force-quit and reopen PackLog after a long offline period.
- If you rotated invites or deleted the pack, generate a fresh invite link.
