A note from the founder

Hi — I'm Tyler. Pupnik started with a simple thought: a walk shouldn't feel like a chore when your dog is already treating it like a quest. I built Pupnik to give every sniff, detour, and familiar corner a little more magic. The goal is simple: make it easier to go outside, more fun to keep going, and more rewarding to share with your dog. Questions? tyler@pupnik.app — I read every email.

— Tyler, founder

Questions, answered.

Is Pupnik a dog walk tracker?
Yes. Pupnik uses your iPhone's GPS to record each walk's route, time, and distance, with no collar or extra hardware. On top of that it adds the fun part: real-world finds along your route, streaks, and levels for your dog.
Is Pupnik free?
Pupnik is free to download, and the core game is free: tracked walks, collectibles, levels, and streaks. Pupnik+ is an optional subscription with extras like support for more than one dog.
How does the weekly leaderboard work?
The leaderboard ranks dogs by tracked walking minutes. Compare your dog with nearby dogs, the same breed, or dogs around the world, and see who is just ahead. Rankings reset each week, so there is always another chance to climb.
When is Android coming?
Pupnik is available for iPhone now. Android is on the roadmap once Pupnik+ on iOS is sustainable.
How does the privacy thing actually work?
Your real coordinates never leave our servers. Other users only ever see a blurred area — home location is always offset by ±500m before being shared. One toggle in settings hides you from the leaderboard entirely.
Can someone fake walks for XP?
No. Walks must show a realistic human-pace motion profile to earn XP. Sitting on the couch with a GPS spoofer doesn't work — the server rejects the walk.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. iPhone in your pocket is enough. We use Core Location with motion validation, so the phone's sensors are all we need.
How do I get my data out, or delete it?
A delete-account button in Settings wipes everything in one tap. CSV export of your walks is available on request — email tyler@pupnik.app.
