A dog walk tracker that's about the dog

What you can log on a walk

Seven big buttons, each one tap. Walking more than one dog? A second tap picks which dog, or all of them.

Pee and poo

Useful for house training and for spotting changes.

If today's House training check is still open, the summary asks whether this walk counts. You answer; it's never automatic.

Sniff

Sniffing is how dogs read the neighborhood, and for many it's the best part of the walk.

The summary counts sniff stops, so a slow, sniffy walk shows up as a good one.

Water and treat

Note drinks on hot days and treats used for training on the go.

Met a dog

Mark each meeting Calm or Not quite.

After two tense meetings, the summary points you to the Calm around dogs drill.

Barked or pulled

Mark the moment it happened, with a pin where it happened.

With Premium it opens Problem moments, with “On a walk” filled in, to help you find what sets it off.

Short walks for puppies

Puppies tire quickly, and too much walking makes a restless puppy. Add your puppy's birthday and Bokedex suggests a walk length for their age: about 10 minutes at three months, plus about 5 for every month after that, until one year old. Walking more than one puppy, the youngest sets the length. When you reach it, the walk says “Good time to head home”.

Train on the walk

Some training steps only happen outside: Sit on a walk, Loose leash on a short walk, Leave it on a real walk, and the passes in Calm around dogs. When one is next in your plan, the walk screen offers “Practise on this walk” and runs the set right there, the same as at home. A skill counts as solid once it works in two places, and walks are where the second place comes from.

Lock the phone and walk

The route keeps recording with the screen locked. A Live Activity shows the time, distance and dogs on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a Pause button. Pausing stops the clock, the distance and the GPS, to save battery. If the app closes mid-walk, Bokedex offers the walk back next time you open it, so you can save it or let it go.

Walks on Apple Watch

With Premium, start a walk from your wrist. The watch shows the time and distance, with the log one swipe away, and the walk runs as a workout so it keeps going with your wrist down. When you finish, it goes to your iPhone and joins your other walks.

Apple Health, if you want it

Your dog's walk is your walk too. With Premium, turn on Save to Apple Health and each walk is saved as a walking workout with its distance and route, so it counts toward your own activity. It's off by default. Bokedex writes walks to Health and never reads your Health data.

Your route stays on your iPhone

Bokedex asks for your location only while you use the app, never Always, and uses it only from Start walk to Finish. Routes stay on your iPhone: they aren't uploaded or synced to iCloud, and we can't see them. Delete a walk at any time from its detail screen.
