TickGuard | Know your tick season. Handle a bite.

TickGuard opens on your own region. It shows when ticks are active near you month by month, which species you are likely to meet, and what the local diseases actually look like. The regional content is written for each country rather than translated from one country's advice, in 12 languages. There is no account and no tracking of any kind, and everything except the community map works with no connection.

A twelve month strip showing when ticks are active in your region, with the current month marked and local prevention notes underneath
Six tick-borne illnesses covered properly: where they occur, how long symptoms take to appear, early and later signs, and the point at which you should call a doctor
A community map of recent sightings. Reading it asks nothing of you, and reporting is optional and anonymous
Bite log with a 30 day symptom watch and reminders scheduled on your own phone
Removal guide covering the steps in order, including the folk remedies that make things worse
Species reference for six genera with photos, habitat, range and disease notes
Camera identification from a Core ML model trained on 3,258 labelled photographs, running entirely on the phone

Not a medical device. TickGuard is a visual aid. It suggests a likely tick genus with a confidence score and can be wrong; it does not diagnose. If you suspect a tick bite, consult a medical professional. For pet concerns, consult your veterinarian.
