My Dog Studio

My Dog Studio: private photo puzzles, on device.

My Dog Studio is the product for unlimited personal dog photo puzzles. It uses Apple’s photo picker, on-device crop and optimization, and private local storage — not a public gallery or cloud album. The app strips embedded location and other metadata during import and never uploads the image through an app-owned network. One personal puzzle is included per install; this unlock removes that creation cap.

Personal means selected, local, and controllable

My Dogs is where you revisit or delete personal puzzles. Deletion removes the saved image, thumbnail, and local progress. Sharing happens only from a completion card you send to Apple’s share sheet.

Keep metadata out

Location and other embedded metadata are removed as the image is imported into local app storage.

Delete when you want

Remove a personal puzzle from My Dogs and its image, thumbnail, and progress go with it.
