Features
Useful before, during and after the walk.
No attention traps, no ads. PackSignal earns the next open by being genuinely useful when your dog needs you.
Real off-leash maps
1,555 council-sourced off-leash areas across 29 councils and 6 states, with fencing and rules — not empty map pins.
Lost-pet signal chain
Sightings, photos, direction and time link straight back to the original alert, so nearby owners can act together fast.
Walk history + share cards
Every walk recorded on your device. Spot healthy routines, and share a polished walk card when you choose to.
On-device AI behaviour guide
Ask about barking, reactivity or recall and get a private answer, powered by Apple's on-device intelligence — nothing leaves your phone.
Community hazards
Snakes, ticks, glass, toxic plants and mess hotspots reported by nearby owners, so you know what's ahead before your dog does.
Safety stays free.
Paw checks, off-leash maps, hazard warnings and lost & found will never sit behind a paywall. That's the whole point of the app.
PackSignal provides guidance, not veterinary advice. Always use your own judgement and follow on-site council signage. In an emergency, contact a vet or the Animal Poisons Helpline.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Is PackSignal free?
Yes. Paw checks, off-leash maps, hazard warnings and lost & found are free and always will be. The optional Pack subscription adds multi-dog profiles, a 7-day safety outlook and full walk history.
How accurate is the paw check?
It's a model calibrated against published veterinary data — at 25°C air temperature, full-sun asphalt can reach roughly 52°C, hot enough to burn a paw in about a minute. Treat it as strong guidance, and always confirm with the back-of-hand test before you walk.
Do you track me?
No. Location is only used while the app is open, to check conditions where you are and find nearby off-leash areas. There's no background tracking, no advertising SDKs, and we never sell or share your data.
When's Android coming?
iOS first — no date yet for Android. We're building for iPhone owners now and will share news when there's something real to say.
