Aster

Aster is an application designed to support animal welfare organizations in their daily work against abandonment, stray animals, and animal suffering.

The application acts as the shared memory of the organization. It centralizes essential information: members, animal profiles, health records, adoption status, foster families, notes, and history. All useful data is accessible from a phone, whenever it is needed, whether in the field or during meetings, and shared among all members of the organization.

At this stage, the goal is not to offer complex features, but to reduce mental load: fewer scattered messages, fewer improvised spreadsheets, and more clarity and continuity in animal follow-up.

“Helping those who help” is the philosophy behind Aster. Accordingly, the application is free, ad-free, with no monetization and no data exploitation. The information stored is strictly limited to the internal operation of organizations.

Aster is neither a social network nor a commercial platform. It is a simple and sincere tool, designed to support volunteers over time in their daily mission: protecting, caring for, and helping animals get adopted under the best possible conditions. The application will continue to evolve based on real needs and feedback from the organizations that use it.

(Aster was originally developed in a French non-profit context, but its core principles and workflows are designed to remain relevant for animal welfare organizations elsewhere.)
