5-Level Paw-Safety Rating
A paw-shaped gauge shows the estimated road-surface temperature right now and rates it on a clear 5-level scale — from Good to go all the way to Do not walk. On a sunny 90°F day, asphalt can soar past 140°F; air temperature alone won't warn you.
48-Hour Safe-Walk Timeline
See today and tomorrow at a glance. The timeline highlights the walk-friendly windows — early morning, after sunset, whenever the pavement has cooled down — so you know exactly when to head out.
Live Activity on Your Lock Screen
Start a walk and the elapsed time and current heat level stay right on your Lock Screen. No unlocking your phone mid-walk.
Tuned to Your Dog's Size
Small dogs walk closer to the hot ground and heat up faster. Tell PawWalk your dog's size and the rating adjusts — stricter for small breeds, standard for large ones.
