# How to create a custom activity

Tap your pet's card, open Settings, tap Add New Activity, type an Activity Name, pick an icon, choose Has Timer or Has Options if needed, then tap Save. Custom activities require Premium.

Make your own activity type when the built-in ones don't cover something you track, for example "Nail trim" or "Socializing".
Custom activities are part of Premium.

## Create a custom activity

1. On the main screen, tap your pet's card.
2. Swipe the tabs at the top to the left and tap **Settings**.
   You can also tap **More** at the bottom of the **Activities** tab, then **Settings**.
3. Tap **Add New Activity**.
4. Type an **Activity Name**.
5. Tap the round emoji to pick an icon.
6. Turn on the options you need:
   - **Has Timer?** lets you time the activity, like a walk.
   - **Has Options?** lets you add items, like types of food.
7. Tap **Save**.

Your new activity is added to the bottom of the list.
It works like any other activity, so you can log it from the bar at the bottom of the **Activities** tab.

## Put it in the activity bar

The bar at the bottom of the **Activities** tab shows the first 4 activities on the **Settings** tab.

1. On the **Settings** tab, press and hold your new activity.
2. Drag it up to where you want it.

## Use it for your other pets

A custom activity is added to all your pets.
To check, open the other pet's **Settings** tab and make sure the activity is turned on.
Turn it off for any pet that doesn't need it.

## Edit or delete a custom activity

1. On the **Settings** tab, tap the pencil icon next to the activity.
2. Change the name, icon or options and tap **Save**.
   Or tap **Delete**, then **Yes**.

Deleting a custom activity also deletes every entry and reminder logged for it, for all your pets.
You can't undo this.

## Premium

Without Premium, **Add New Activity** shows a star.
Tapping it asks you to sign in, then shows how to upgrade.
See [What's free and what's in Premium](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/doggy-time-premium-features).

## Troubleshooting

- **"Activity Name is required"**: type a name, then tap **Save** again.
- **My custom activity isn't in the bar at the bottom**: tap **More** to find it, or drag it into the first 4 on the **Settings** tab.
- **There's no pencil icon**: only custom activities can be edited or deleted.
  Built-in activities can only be turned on or off.
