Sound familiar
Four things every new owner does
None of them work, and all of them are exhausting. That is the whole problem Housebroken was built for.
The one you missed
Ten minutes earlier and it would not have happened. You just did not know that.
The silent ask
Some puppies bark. Some just sit by the door and hope somebody notices.
The notes app
A list of times in your phone that nobody else can read and nothing adds up from.
How it works
Two taps, whenever you get a moment
There is no setup to finish and no routine to design. You log what already happened, and the app does the arithmetic you were trying to do in your head.
- 1
Tell it about your puppy
A name and a rough birthday. Age sets the starting estimate, and a vague date is fine, and it corrects itself as you log.
- 2
Tap when something happens
Pee, poo, a meal, a nap. From the app, a widget, or the Home Screen, whichever is closest to your thumb.
- 3
Watch the next break arrive
The countdown tightens around your dog’s actual rhythm, so you go out before the accident instead of cleaning up after it.
It gets sharper
A week in, it knows things you don’t
Every log is a data point about one specific dog. After a few days the shape appears: the hour after breakfast that always goes wrong, the long quiet stretch in the afternoon you could have been using.
It is not a generic schedule pulled off a chart. It is your dog’s, built out of what you actually recorded.
Risky hours
Overnight stretch
After mealsDry daysEverything in the app
Small app. Very few opinions.
It does one job, and it tries to take as little of your attention as possible while doing it.
One-tap logging
Pee, poo, meal, water, sleep. Big buttons, no forms, done before you have put your shoes on.
The next break
A single countdown on the Today screen: how long since the last break, and when the next one is likely due.
Patterns that emerge
A week's worth of logs becomes a shape: the hours that are risky, the ones that never are.
Widgets and shortcuts
Log from the Home Screen or the Lock Screen without opening the app. The fastest log is the one you actually make.
The whole household
Share a dog with whoever else is on walk duty. Everyone logs into the same picture.
History worth keeping
Every logged event stays searchable, so the vet question about last Tuesday has an answer.
What the app asks of you
Three things, and none of them are perfection
The app asks you to agree to these when you set it up. They are the closest thing it has to a method.
I'll log the breaks when I can.Missing one does not break anything. The pattern only needs most of them.
I won't treat an accident as a failure.It is information. The app treats it that way, and so should the rest of the house.
I'll give it two weeks before I judge it.House-training is won by showing up, not by getting it perfect.
Privacy
It works before it knows who you are
Housebroken stores your log on your device and mirrors it to your own iCloud. Signing in is optional, and only buys you a backup you can restore and a dog you can share with the rest of the household.
Dog names, notes and photos never go to analytics. Nothing is sold to anybody, and there is no advertising in the app.

FAQ
Questions worth answering
What does it cost?
Nothing. Housebroken is free to use, with no trial to remember to cancel and no paywall in front of the logging.
Do I need an account?
No. The app is fully usable the moment you open it, and that is a product promise rather than a limited mode. Signing in is optional, and only exists so your log is backed up and can be shared with the rest of the household.
Does it work without a signal?
Yes. Everything is stored on your device first, so logging works on a walk, in a lift, or on a plane. If you are signed in, it syncs whenever the connection comes back.
How does it know when the next break is due?
From your own logs, not from a generic chart. Your puppy's age sets a rough starting estimate, and every break you record corrects it. The more you log, the closer it gets to your dog specifically.
Can two people log the same dog?
Yes. Share a dog with anyone else in the household and every log lands in the same timeline, so nobody has to ask whether the dog has already been out.
Is it only for puppies?
It is built for house-training, so puppies are the common case. It works just as well for a rescue settling into a new home, or for an older dog whose routine is worth keeping an eye on.
Is my data private?
Your log stays on your device unless you sign in, and even then it is only ever visible to you and to anyone you explicitly share a dog with. No dog names, notes or photos are sent to analytics, and nothing is sold to anybody.
