Digital pet phantom · twin
Their little twin, a glance away.
A soft collar quietly senses how your pet moves and rests. The Pawphant app turns it into a living 3D twin and a gentle daily diary — over home Wi-Fi and your phone's Bluetooth.

Why Pawphant
Less tracking. More togetherness.
Three simple ideas, and nothing we don't need.
Pet diary
Activity, rest and skin-temperature trends told as a daily story — not location tracks.

Wi-Fi at home, Bluetooth to your phone outdoors. Nothing to subscribe to.

How it works
Wear. Sense. Come to life.
The collar is a quiet data inlet. The magic happens in the app.
Wear the collar
A soft, light band with a small sensor capsule. Clip it on and pair it with the app in a minute or two.
It senses movement & skin-temp
An IMU reads posture and motion; a contact sensor follows skin-temperature trends against your pet's own baseline.
The app animates their twin & writes the diary
Their state becomes a living 3D avatar, and each day is gathered into a short, readable story.
Home Wi-Fi
At home the collar connects through your Wi-Fi, so the twin reflects what they're up to while you're out.
Outdoor Bluetooth
On walks, the collar talks to your phone over Bluetooth Low Energy while you're together.
Offline sync
Out of range? The collar keeps notes on board and catches up the next time it's home. The app shows the last sync time.
Inside the app

The home screen is all Dango. Their 3D twin naps, trots and plays along with the collar's state machine — and a small chip tells you how fresh that picture is.

Diary · day card
Their day, written like a little story.
Instead of a list of coordinates, you get moments: the walk, the nap, the zoomies. Read it on the train home, or look back on a whole week.

Our choices
What we deliberately don't sell.
Fewer features, on purpose. Here's what you won't find — and why we're at peace with that.
No SIM, no modem, no data plan. The collar stays small and light.
Buy the collar and use the app. No plan to keep paying for.
We show how they are, not where they are every second.
No talking through the collar. It's a calm sensor, not a speaker.
Sharing may come one day. For now it's just you and them.
What's left is the part we care about most: knowing they're okay, and enjoying who they are.

FAQ
Good questions.
Straight answers about what Pawphant does — and what it doesn't.
Join the waitlistDoes Pawphant track my pet's location?
No — there's no live GPS. Pawphant shows how your pet is (their state and their day), not where they are.
If you'd like a location option, the collar has an optional Tag bay for an AirTag-class or certified Find My tag. That tag is handled entirely by your phone's system Find app, not by Pawphant.
Why is there no subscription?
Pawphant has no cellular modem, so there's no data plan to pay for. The collar uses your home Wi-Fi and your phone's Bluetooth.
What happens when we're outdoors?
While you're together, the collar connects to your phone over Bluetooth Low Energy. If it's out of range, it stores data on board and syncs when it's back home. The app always shows the last sync time.
Does it work for cats?
We're designing for both dogs and cats. Sizing and fit details for cats will be confirmed before launch.
Is Pawphant a medical device?
No. Pawphant is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Activity, rest and skin-temperature trends are for everyday awareness only. Please talk to your vet about any health concern.
What about privacy and my data?
We collect movement and skin-temperature signals to power the twin and diary — no audio, no camera, no location tracking. Our full privacy policy will be published before launch, including how to export or delete your data.
Is it waterproof?
We're targeting IP67 for the capsule, designed for rain, puddles and splashy walks. Final ratings will be confirmed at launch.
What's the battery life?
Battery details will be shared at launch. Charging is via a magnetic snap-on connector.
When can I get one, and how much will it cost?
Launch date and price: TBA. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know first.
