Both apps got a fresh look from the first screen to the last, and Peyda, our Bernese pup, now turns up whenever you could use a paw. Adding a tracker takes three steps: scan, clip, off you go.

We registered our first domain, peyda.ch. This is where it all began: March 2019, a first domain and a name for a dog.
