PRIVATE BETA · OCTOBER 18, 2026

Your pet’s photos.
Your private studio.

This describes the current beta. It is not a claim that a public paid service is live.

What stays in the studio

Photos, written pet details, provider request records and finished media are stored on the studio server. On the local demo this is the owner’s computer. The hosted beta uses private persistent storage on our OVH server. A browser cookie grants access to your own studio for up to 30 days. Owner beta access expires after eight hours. Anonymous studios depend on this browser’s cookie. Signing back into the same verified account restores its studio. Google sign-in and verified email/password accounts are available on the branded site.

Account details and verification

Email accounts store a username, email address, a salted password hash and verification status. Plaintext passwords are not stored. Real verification messages are delivered through Resend when connected; it receives the email address and verification link, not your password. Links expire after 24 hours and work once. Local development can instead show a private email preview on this computer; it sends no email and cannot unlock production credits or paid generation.

What goes to the creative services

After your approval, Google receives the selected photo, name, scene, energy and pet notes for the video. The current Lite demo sends the first photo. For a song, Suno via third-party Kie.ai receives the written pet details, scene, chosen language and musical style. The music service does not receive your photo. The planned Kie video options would send the selected photo and video prompt to Kie.ai and its model provider after your approval; these options are currently price and story previews, not connected generation. A local photo movie sends no content to a generation provider.

Content safety

Generation is paused. The integrated Creem text-moderation gate requires a live service connection before it can permit video generation. When connected, it receives the generation prompt, including the pet details you put in it, and a project or studio reference. It does not receive your photo, password or payment details. Failed or flagged checks block generation. Text moderation does not visually inspect photos or finished videos. Do not include personal information in pet descriptions.

Downloads and deletion

Only an authorized session for this browser’s studio or signed-in verified account can access its project media. Deleting a project removes its local media and stops new local stages. It cannot undo charges or guarantee removal of work already submitted to a provider. Minimal generation-attempt and credit-ledger records remain for budget accounting. Provider retention, downloaded copies and backups are separate.

Your choices

Review the idea and sharing choices before creation. Avoid adding contact details or other private information to creative notes. Uploaded pet photos are not automatically published as examples. A production retention policy must be finalized before a paid launch.

Google account and free preview

When sign-in is enabled, we verify your Google identity and email verification status. We store your stable Google account identifier to restore your private studio and remember your credit balance and one welcome preview. We do not request Gmail or Drive access, and do not store Google access or refresh tokens. Signing in attaches this browser’s existing anonymous projects to your verified account. Sign out on shared devices.

A free preview includes only four seconds of music. Its longer source song remains private to the service. The account receives 160 welcome credits once, restricted to one four-second Lite preview with its song. Repeated sign-in does not grant another gift. Deleting a project does not reset its credit balance or account allowance or remove required generation accounting records.
