TickSentry - Tick Checker

A tick scanner, checker and identifier for iPhone. Scan skin and fur with your camera, run a guided dog or cat check, and identify what you found.

Scan skin and fur with your camera, work through a guided dog or cat check, and get a species identification with the next steps spelled out.

Built around the way a real check actually happens. None of them replaces your judgement, a doctor, or a vet.

Hold the camera over skin or parted fur and TickSentry marks small, dark candidate regions as you move, with filters and haptic feedback to help you slow down and look properly.

Live Scan uses a local contrast heuristic on your device. It highlights what is worth a second look; it does not decide what is a tick.

Work through a dog or cat body check section by section (ears, collar, armpits, between the toes) so the commonly missed places are the ones you remember. Progress is saved, so you can stop and pick it up later.

Choose a photo, crop it, and submit it deliberately. You get a species guess with its scientific name and likelihood, the visual clues behind it, common hosts and habitats, alternative candidates, and clear next steps.

Visual assistance only. A species guess is a likelihood estimate, not a diagnosis, and it cannot rule out a tick.
