3 Things You Might
Have Missed in Halo

Most of Halo is exactly what it looks like from the home screen. A few things sit a level deeper, and they're worth knowing about even if you've been using the app for a while.

1. Editing a dose without deleting it

If a vet changes a dosage, there's no need to remove the medication and re-add it from scratch. Tapping into an existing medication lets you adjust the dose, time, or cadence directly, and it keeps the full history attached rather than starting a new record.

2. Choosing exactly what goes in the Carer's Pack

The Carer's Pack isn't all-or-nothing. Before sharing, you can choose specifically what to include, medications only, or medications plus vitals and contacts, depending on who's actually receiving it and what they need.

Worth trying: a quick weekend pet sitter probably only needs medications and contacts. A longer stay somewhere unfamiliar might warrant the full pack, vitals history included.

3. The daily log is searchable by date range

Rather than scrolling back through weeks of entries to find when a particular behaviour started, the vitals tab lets you set a date range directly, useful for exactly the question a vet tends to ask: "when did you first notice this?"

Worth exploring the rest, too

Halo is built to be simple on the surface without hiding depth underneath. If something feels like it should be possible, it's usually one tap further in than expected, not missing.

There's more once you look

Halo has a few smaller features worth exploring beyond the home screen.
