In short
Hundeakte is a dog diary app for iPhone and Android that keeps your dog's walks, vaccinations, weight, food, digestion and wounds in one place. From those entries Hundeakte builds a PDF for the vet visit, right on your device. The app works without an account and offline. Everything lives on your device first; backup and sync are optional and end-to-end encrypted.
Vet visit
Ready in two taps.
Hundeakte assembles a PDF with profile, weights, vaccinations, medication, surgeries, digestion, conditions, food and activity over 3, 6 or 12 months. Signalment and your open questions come first, then wounds and illnesses, surgeries, medication, vaccinations and the other sections. Anything unusual, like blood in the stool, is highlighted. The document is created on your device and leaves through the share sheet. Vaccination cards, lab results and invoices can be scanned straight into the app. For a surgery you can also import documents as a PDF.
Wounds, surgeries and illnesses
You can see whether it is healing.
A split paw pad, a fresh surgical suture, a recurring eczema: record size, pain and itch ratings, wound bed and warning signs over time. For wounds and surgical incisions Hundeakte charts the course and, if you want, reminds you of the daily check. At the appointment you are not guessing whether it has improved.
- One photo per check. The first and the latest sit side by side, so you see the difference.
- Surgeries with invoice, x-rays and surgical report in one place, scanned or as a PDF.
- The incision is tracked as a wound right away, with stitch removal and follow-up in view.
Health
Never miss a vaccination.
In Hundeakte, vaccinations, parasite protection, medication, weight, food, stool and encounters live in one place, cleanly separated and quick to find. Whatever needs attention sits at the top.
- Vaccinations with due date, batch and vet, including a reminder before one falls due
- Parasite protection: deworming and tick and flea protection with the next due date and a reminder
- Medication: a daily reminder per dose, and for as-needed medication you log every dose with its reason
- Weight history as a curve instead of scraps of paper
- Stool diary with consistency, colour and anything unusual, exactly what the vet asks about
- Log stool and encounters straight from the running walk, already linked to it
- Food with type, amount, feeding times and intolerances. Logging a feeding takes a few taps, later with date and time if you need to.
Walks
Start the timer and go.
Hundeakte measures the duration of every walk and, with location access, the distance. It records the route only if you want it, even with the phone in your pocket or the screen locked. On iPhone the walk keeps running on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.
- Every walk goes into the record: duration, distance, weather, anything unusual.
- The route on a map only if you want it.
- Apple Watch and Wear OS: start and stop a walk from your wrist.
For an emergency
Stay calm, step by step.
Hundeakte includes a calm emergency checklist, your stored numbers for vet and clinic one tap away, and contact points in Germany, plus the poison control centres for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Hundeakte does not give medical advice.
- Vet and clinic one tap away
- Checklist: stay calm, secure the dog, call, arrange transport
- Contact points in Germany and poison control for DE, AT and CH

Who is behind it
One developer, one rescue dog.
I am Marcel, a software developer from the Ruhr area, and I build Hundeakte on my own: no investor, no advertisers, no data trading.
I am involved in animal welfare and walked dogs there until Pluto moved in with me. He comes from a rescue himself.
Every feature runs with Pluto in everyday life before it goes into the app.
Frequently asked
What you might still want to know.
What is Hundeakte?
Hundeakte is a digital dog diary for iPhone and Android. You record your dog's walks, vaccinations, weight, food, digestion and wounds and get a ready-made PDF for the vet visit out of it.
Do I need an account?
No. Add your dog and start. An account is only needed for backup and sync across devices.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Your data lives on your device. Without a connection you only lose map tiles, sync, weather detection and the vet link.
Where is my data stored?
Locally on your device first. No tracking, no ads, no account you did not ask for. If you use backup or sync, contents are end-to-end encrypted before upload. The key stays on your devices. You pass it on by QR code or back it up encrypted with a passphrase only you know. The server only ever sees unreadable data.
What if my phone is lost?
Without Pro your data lives only on the device. You can create and keep the vet PDF at any time, but the free version has no transfer to a new device. With Pro you back up your keys in sync with a passphrase or a recovery key and use it to bring everything back onto a new device. Without the passphrase or key nobody can read it, not even me.
Can my partner use it too?
Yes, with Hundeakte Pro. You show a one-time QR invitation, the other person scans it in their app and sees the same dog. The data stays end-to-end encrypted.
How does vet access work?
You create a share key in the app as a QR code or link. The vet opens your record in the browser with it, read-only and for a limited time. The content is encrypted, the key sits in the link and never reaches the server. Vet access is part of Hundeakte Pro.
Can I get my data out again?
Yes, as a PDF for the vet. The PDF also carries the data in machine-readable form. There is no separate data export yet.
Which devices does Hundeakte run on?
iPhone and iPad, plus Android phones and tablets. With Apple Watch and Wear OS you start and stop a walk right from your wrist.
How much does Hundeakte cost?
The base version is free and complete: one dog, all walk and health features, the vet PDF, first aid, smartwatch, Live Activity and up to three documents. Hundeakte Pro is expected to cost €1.99 per month, €14.99 per year or €44.99 once as Lifetime with 1 GB of sync storage. The final price is shown in the store.
