Aster

Aster is an application designed to support animal welfare organizations in their daily efforts against abandonment, stray animals, and animal suffering. The application serves as the organization's collective memory. It centralizes essential information such as members, animal records, health monitoring, adoption statuses, foster homes, finances, notes, and history. All useful information is accessible from a phone whenever it is needed, whether in the field or during meetings, and shared among all members of the organization. Aster also makes it possible to create an adoption website automatically powered by the organization's data. Animals available for adoption can be published in just a few clicks, without duplicate data entry or technical expertise. The goal is to simplify the daily management of animal welfare organizations and reduce the mental load on volunteers: less scattered information, less time spent searching for data, and more clarity, continuity, and collaboration. "Helping those who help" is the philosophy behind Aster. In keeping with this vision, the application is free, contains no advertising, no monetization, and no exploitation of user data. The information stored is strictly limited to what is necessary for the internal operation of animal welfare organizations. Aster is neither a social network nor a commercial platform. It is a simple and sincere tool designed to support volunteers in their daily mission: protecting, caring for, monitoring, and finding homes for animals under the best possible conditions. The application continues to evolve over time, based on real-world needs and feedback from the organizations that use it.
