Looking for Android testers

The camera that
knows your pet.

Point it at your pet and it says their name first. When they step into the circle, it zooms in and takes the shot on its own. Dogs and cats alike.

The app itself is in Korean for now. Photos and screens on this page come from the Korean app.

Name recognition

Point the camera.
Name comes first.

A few face samples are all it takes. The top-left corner shows right away whether it's Bori or Nabi. Even with a dog and a cat in the same home, it doesn't mix them up.

  2. BoriPoint at the Chihuahua — Bori within a second
  3. Both → BoriWith Nabi alongside, the pet in the center comes first
  4. NabiTurn to the Siamese cat — Nabi right away

Circle guide · press-and-hold zoom

Hold the shutter.
Fill the circle.

Line your pet up with the small circle on screen and press and hold the shutter. It finds your pet and zooms until they fill the circle, then shoots when you let go. If your pet moves, it lines up again.

Get their attention

Woof.

While you hold the attention button, it plays a woof. The moment your pet looks at the lens, let go — click. It works while recording video too.

Call their name

“Bori!”
Say it, and click.

Turn on the name button, then say your pet's name or a Korean photo word like “cheese” or “kimchi”, and it takes the picture. Fine even with treats in both hands, and it copes with slightly off pronunciation. (Android app; listens in Korean for now.)

Auto shot

Stand it up.
It shoots on its own.

Stand your phone up and tap Auto. It doesn't fire away at random — it only shoots after finding your pet and checking their name. A sleeping pet gets one quiet shot every 5 minutes.

Landscape 16:9

Turn it sideways.
Fill the frame.

Turn your phone sideways and the buttons and text turn with it, and photos come out wide at 16:9. However you hold it, photos stand upright in the album.

Face cover

People's faces become
puppy faces.

Faces of people caught in the shot are covered with a cute puppy face before saving — photos and videos alike. Face detection happens only on your phone and nothing is sent anywhere.

Name stamp

The moment you shoot,
the name is stamped in.

The name of the pet it recognized, a day count since their birthday, the date and the temperature go in the corner of the photo. There are seasonal magazine covers too. If it doesn't recognize anyone, it adds nothing.

Video

Quiet recording,
lively scenes.

No button sounds or vibration while recording, so no clicks end up in your video. The name stamp goes into videos too. You can pause, and if you suddenly leave the app, everything up to that point is saved.

Zoom · auto enhance

Zoom in,
stay sharp.

Tap the zoom button and slide the wheel for a smooth zoom. It switches to the telephoto lens on its own, and zoomed shots keep the fur detail while cutting the grain.

Today's route,
just the paths.

Start a walk and it records where you went, marking every 3 minutes on a map that shows only the paths, no shop names. Tap replay to follow the route in order. Walking several pets? Calories are counted for each one.
