The pet camera app for iPhone and iPhone Duo
Finally, your pet looks at the camera.
SelfiePaw is a free iPhone camera for dogs and cats. It plays a cue your pet can't ignore, like your voice, a squeak, a photo of their toy or a short video of you, and takes the photo the moment they look at the lens.

How SelfiePaw gets your pet to look at the camera
-
Pick a cue
Your voice, a squeak, a photo of their ball, a video of you. Pick what they can't ignore.
-
Get to their height
Point the camera at your pet. For pictures and videos, turn the screen toward them.
-
It shoots when they look
SelfiePaw notices the look and takes a short series. You keep the best and save them to Photos.
Four cues that catch your dog's or cat's eye
A cue is what SelfiePaw plays to get your pet's attention. Every pet answers to something different, so try a few and see what works for yours.
Sound
Record your own call or use a built-in sound. Works with any camera.
Picture
A photo of their favorite toy, of you, or of a friend they love.
Video
A short clip of you waving. Their favorite face, moving.
Motion
Yellow and blue shapes on the move, in the colors dogs see best.
Pictures, videos and motion show on screen, so turn the selfie camera toward your pet. Sound works with either camera.
Max sees the ball. You see Max.
SelfiePaw is built for iPhone Duo. The outer screen shows the cue to your pet, and the inner screen shows you the shot, so the picture is right where they're looking.
- OpenThe cue faces your pet, the frame faces you.

- ClosedWorks like any iPhone. Your voice still gets the look.
How to get your dog or cat to look at the camera
Five habits that work with or without an app. SelfiePaw builds them in.
-
1. Get down to their eye level
Photos taken at your pet's height look more natural, and the lens sits right where they look.
-
2. Use your own voice first
Most pets turn toward the voice they know best. Record their name or a call they always answer.
-
3. Save the cue for the moment
Pets get used to a sound that plays too often. Play it once you're framed and ready.
-
4. Shoot in daylight
Soft daylight keeps eyes sharp and means you don't need the flash.
-
5. Take a short series
A look lasts a moment. A quick burst of photos catches it, and you keep the best one.
Gentle on sensitive ears and eyes
- Short sounds with pauses between plays.
- A volume limit you set. Pets hear more than we do.
- No screams, whining or predator sounds.
- No harsh flashes on the screen your pet sees.
Private: no sign-up, no servers
Spotting your pet happens on your iPhone. The picture never leaves it.
