## Description

ZeccheCam makes ticks and grass awns visible on your dog's or cat's coat in real-time, with on-device AI detection and a tick risk-zone map.

ZeccheCam is the iOS app that makes ticks and grass awns visible on your dog's or cat's coat in real-time.

How it works:

- Open the camera with the color inversion filter active on launch
- Parasites appear as dark spots on a light background
- Adjust zoom, exposure, contrast and other settings for precise inspections
- Capture and save photos to your iPhone's Camera Roll
- Review your inspection history directly in the app
- Access an offline guide for proper tick removal

New in v4.5 — AI detection and risk zones:

- On-device AI detection: a trained model highlights suspicious areas (tick, grass awn, foreign body) in real-time, directly on the camera feed. All processing runs on the device's Neural Engine.
- Adjustable sensitivity: choose the detection level (Low, Medium, High) to balance precision and number of highlights.
- Tick risk-zone map: view a map with a per-zone risk index, colored green to red, based on public sighting data (GBIF) weighted by season.
- Authoritative regional layer: alerts when you are in an Italian region with known tick presence, based on ECDC distribution data (offline).
- Zone updates: download updated sighting data with one tap, then use it offline.
- Your location on the map: your position dot is shown only to you, never transmitted.

Previous features (v3.0/v4.0):

- Multiple filters: Invert, Red, Green, Blue, Contrast, Thermal, Green AI
- In-app history: all inspections organized by date
- Inspection reminders: configurable daily local notifications
- Haptic feedback on main buttons
- Multi-language support: Italian and English

Important:
ZeccheCam is a visual inspection support tool. It does not detect, identify, or diagnose disease. The app highlights suspicious areas for closer inspection — it does not replace veterinary assessment in any way. The risk index is informational, based on public sightings, not a medical risk.

Privacy:

- Zero personal data collection
- No account required
- Core features (camera, filters, AI detection, photos) work fully offline
- Internet connection used ONLY, optionally, to download public tick risk-zone data (GBIF sightings)
- Your GPS location is NEVER transmitted: it always stays on the device
- All AI processing happens on-device
- Photos stored locally on your device only

Requirements:

- iOS 16+
- iPhone or iPad with camera
