Kind and safe, by design
A map of animals can be misused. StraySync is built so it can't be turned against the animals, or the people who help them.

Make a posterQuestions
Is StraySync only for lost pets?
No. Most people use it for the street animals around them: pinning strays they see, marking the ones they've helped or rescued, and coordinating feeding and vet visits with neighbors. Lost-pet posts are one part of it, and every stray sighting is also checked against lost pets nearby.
Is it free?
Yes. Posting sightings and lost pets, nearby alerts, AI matching, private messages and the printable poster are all free, with no trial and no subscription. Optional tips help keep the app running. There is never a paywall when an animal needs help.
Will my location, or the animals' location, be public?
Public pins of street animals are shown within about 250 m of the real spot, so the map can't be used to target them. The person who reported an animal still sees the exact location. If you turn on nearby alerts, the app stores only your approximate area, rounded to about 1 km, and never tracks you in the background.
How does the AI matching work?
When someone reports a sighting, StraySync compares the photo and description with active lost-pet posts nearby and lets the owner know about likely matches. AI can be wrong, so every match shows both photos side by side for a person to decide.
Which countries does it work in?
Anywhere. StraySync isn't tied to one city: it works wherever people use it, and the more neighbors join, the more animals get seen and helped. The app is in English today, with more languages on the way.
Is there an Android app?
The Android app is coming soon. Until then, the guides and the free lost-pet poster on this site work on any phone or computer.
Someone says they found my pet and wants money first. What should I do?
Don't pay. Ask for a current photo or a video call, and meet in a public place. Requests for a deposit, a "shipping fee" or a reward up front are a common scam. StraySync messages show a warning when they spot this, and you can block and report the sender.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Profile, then Settings, then Delete account. This removes your account, sightings, posts, messages and saved alert area. If you can't open the app, email support and we'll do it for you.
