Settle is the honest instrument for separation anxiety. No camera. No livestream. Just proof your dog is getting calmer, week by week.
Private beta Made in Ireland
Every other dog app is a camera, a microphone, a live feed — your phone full of doomscroll moments while you're at work. We built the opposite. Settle listens locally on your Mac, throws the audio away, and keeps only the numbers that prove your dog is doing better.
The best owner is the one who comes home — not the one who panicked over a livestream all day.
It's not a pet tech platform. It's an instrument with one job: tell you, honestly, whether your dog is getting calmer.
On your Mac, on-device, while you're out. Audio is analysed one second at a time, then thrown away. Nothing is recorded or transmitted.
Barking spells, longest quiet stretch, time spent settled. The numbers behaviourists actually use — not a panic dashboard.
Week-over-week curves so you can see the line bend down. The thing nobody else gives you: evidence your work is paying off.
Separation anxiety is fixed by gradual desensitisation — short absences, slowly extended. Without a number, you can't tell if you're moving too fast (and triggering setbacks) or too slow (and going nowhere). The chart is the feedback loop.
Each annotation is a decision the data unlocked — push longer, hold steady, push again. That's the loop.
The events that create separation anxiety are also the ones that make it hardest to know if your work is paying off. Settle gives you a number to watch, quietly, over weeks.
Brand-new dog, brand-new house, brand-new routine. You don't know what their baseline is yet — and now you do.
The lockdown dog who was never alone is suddenly alone all day. Track whether they're adapting or struggling.
The whole household rhythm has flipped. Make sure your dog isn't the one paying for it quietly.
A new home is a new soundscape. Watch the curve climb back to calm, week by week.
