Problem:

First-time pet owners (especially with puppies) need a reliable way to track potty training so they can spot patterns and train consistently. Existing commercial apps didn’t work well in practice:

• Slow to start — Opening the app and logging an event took too long when you needed to record something quickly.
• Dependent on connectivity — They required a stable internet connection to sync, so logging failed or felt broken in poor coverage (e.g. in the yard).
• Friction when logging — The main job—quickly recording a potty event—was often buried behind menus, ads, or unnecessary features.

The result was frustration and abandoned tracking, which undermines effective potty training.

Solution:

Tiger Potty is a focused potty-training tracker built for speed and reliability:

• Single purpose — Log and view potty-related events (PEE, POO, WATER, FOOD) with minimal taps and no feature bloat.
• Works offline — Events can be recorded without connectivity; a local snapshot (e.g. last 7 days) and a pending queue sync when the network is back.
• Real-time household sync — Multiple people in the same household see the same data via server-sent events (SSE), so everyone stays in the loop.
• Simple business model — One-time purchase ($2.99), no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Tech stack
