What Homestead & Garden Manager does

Works in the barn with no signal: an animal register with pedigree and breeding, withdrawal dates that stay flagged until they pass, yield logs you define, feed cost per group, a crop plan worked out from your own frost dates, and income and expenses by enterprise — offline, on your own device.

Health and withdrawals

Nothing goes in the pail too soon

  • Meat, milk and egg withdrawal days from the label, per treatment
  • Flagged in red everywhere until the clear-from date passes
  • Eggs or milk logged during a withdrawal marked as withheld

Animal register

One record per animal, not one tab

  • Tag, pedigree to the grandparents, weights and every treatment
  • A whole flock as one record with a head count
  • Breeding due dates from your own gestation figures

Yield logs you define

Eggs, milk — and the maple syrup log

  • Make a log for anything you collect, in its own unit
  • The whole day logged in seconds after evening chores
  • Monthly totals by enterprise, and the year on one page

Garden planner

Sowing dates from your own frost dates

  • “Sow 7 weeks before the last frost” becomes a real date
  • Change a frost date and every date keyed to it moves
  • Succession sowings, a seed box and harvests that add up

Farm money

Does each part of the holding pay its way?

  • Income and expenses by enterprise: eggs, dairy, pork, garden
  • Feed cost per head, and per dozen eggs, from what you paid
  • Restock the feed store and the cost is recorded once

Questions

Something else? Email us and we'll answer before you buy.

Where is my data stored? Is it private?

Everything is saved inside your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account, so no company holds a copy of your farm records. They are not encrypted, though: anyone who can use this device and browser can open them, so keep the device locked. Download a backup regularly (Settings → Data & backup → Back up now) and keep it somewhere as safe as the records themselves.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Open index.html and it runs fully offline. You can also host the folder on any website and choose “Install app” in Chrome or Edge to get a desktop or phone icon that works offline.

Can I use it on my phone or iPad?

Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets with a bottom navigation bar. Each device keeps its own data, so use Back up / Restore to move records between devices.

How do I start fresh after trying the sample data?

Go to Settings → Data & backup → Erase records. Your business profile and settings are kept; all sample records are removed.

Does it tell me withdrawal periods or doses?

No. Doses and withdrawal periods are whatever you type in, copied from the product label or your vet’s instructions. The app counts the days and flags the product until the clear-from date; it does not know any product, breed or rule, and it gives no veterinary advice. Where the law says how medicine records must be kept, that remains your responsibility.

How is the clear-from date worked out?

Day 0 is the last dose. The clear-from date is the last dose plus the number of days you entered. The product is withheld on every day before that date and is clear on it. For a course of treatment, enter the first and the last dose and the count starts from the last.

Where do the sowing dates come from?

From two things you enter: your average last spring frost and first autumn frost under Settings, and each crop’s timing from its seed packet — for example “sow indoors 7 weeks before the last frost”. Nothing is assumed. If the frost dates are blank, the plan shows no dates. It also works in the southern hemisphere, where the first frost falls earlier in the calendar year than the last.

Can I log something other than eggs and milk?

Yes. Make a log for anything you collect — maple syrup, honey, wool, firewood, rabbit litters, cut flowers — with its own unit and enterprise. It appears in the day’s entry, the monthly totals and the printed year.

Do I have to enter my hens one by one?

No. A record can be a group with a head count, such as “Laying flock, 22 head”, and treatments, sales and yield logs can all point at the group. Individual birds, such as a rooster or a broody hen, can have their own records alongside it.

How is feed cost per group worked out?

From expenses in the Feed category under each enterprise. It is divided by head-months — every animal in that enterprise counted only for the time it was on the holding — and by what its egg or milk logs recorded. It is only as complete as the costs you record, and the page says so.

Is the bill of sale a legal document?

It is a clear record of who sold what to whom, for how much and when, with signature lines. The terms on it are the words you write in Settings; the app adds no legal wording of its own. What a bill of sale needs to say where you live is for you to check.

Does it really work in the barn with no signal?

Yes. Once opened from its folder it needs no internet at all. Records are saved in the browser on the device you use, so if you keep it on a phone in your pocket, that phone holds the records. Each device keeps its own copy — use Back up now and Restore to move them between the phone and the house computer.

Can several people use it at the same time?

No. It is made for one person on one device, and records do not sync between devices. To move to another device, save a backup and restore it there.
