Does Laki replace the vet?
No. Laki coordinates the reminders and the log for the doses
your vet prescribed; it doesn't diagnose, prescribe, or replace
professional judgment. It's a coordination tool for the people
caring for the pet, not a medical service.
How is it different from setting an alarm on your phone?
An alarm rings on a single phone and has no idea whether
someone else already gave the dose. Laki syncs the reminder
across everyone in the group: the moment one person marks a
dose as given, everyone else's pending reminder cancels itself.
That's what a single alarm can't do.
Does it work if I'm the only one caring for my pet?
Yes. It works just as well as a solo reminder app with a
history log. Syncing between people is an extra feature, not a
requirement — you can use Laki alone so you don't have to keep
track from memory.
Does it replace the notebook or whiteboard on the fridge where we track doses?
That's exactly the problem it solves. A notebook or whiteboard
only works if everyone is in the same house and someone
remembers to write it down. Laki carries that same record to
everyone's phone, updated in real time, no matter where each
person is.
Is it only for dogs and cats?
Laki was built with pets in mind, but you choose the patient
type when you create the treatment — some people use it for
another family member's medication just the same.
Can I run the same treatment for two different pets at once?
Yes. Each treatment is tied to a specific pet, even if the
medication and dose are identical for both. The calendar and
history show them separately, and you can filter by pet to see
only what applies to each one.
