Description
Pets never look at the camera. PawCam plays a sound they can't ignore (squeaky toy, treat bag, cat call, or your own recording), silently shoots a 5-second burst while they turn, and on-device AI keeps the 10 best moments. New in 1.1: AI art in 14 styles (first one free), a growth record for each pet, and in-place blur and crops. 1,400+ pet parents in 50+ countries joined in our first Reddit week. Free saves all 10 frames; Pro removes the watermark and ads. Now on iPhone and Android.
