Combwise: Beekeeping Log Book
Hive Inspection & Apiary Diary
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Combwise is the offline beekeeping log book that works in the bee yard with no signal and no account. Log a hive inspection in seconds, keep every yard and hive on your phone, and see clear guidance on what to check next — all on your phone, all yours.
Most apiary apps want an account, a connection and a subscription before you can write down a single thing. A bee yard often has no signal. Combwise has no server to fail: your whole apiary lives on your device, plus an openable backup file you control and can restore on a new phone.
WHY BEEKEEPERS SWITCH TO COMBWISE
• Works fully offline — no account, no cloud, no sign-up. Yard Mode opens instantly.
• Un-loseable data — one-tap JSON backup, restore on this phone or a new one, and CSV export for any spreadsheet.
• No ads. One fair price. The log, reminders, backup and export are free forever and need no card.
A REAL BEEKEEPING DIARY & HIVE INSPECTION APP
Track per yard and per hive: frames of brood and stores, eggs and queen seen, temperament, colony strength, supers on, swarm cells, varroa mite counts, honey harvested and notes. Back-date an entry to write up yesterday's visit, or tap a past inspection to correct it. Big buttons, glove-friendly and sun-readable for one-handed use outdoors.
HANDS FULL? ASK SIRI
Say "Log an Inspection Note in Combwise" and dictate what you saw. Siri saves it without opening the app, and it lands in your log the next time you open Combwise.
REMINDERS THAT WORK IN A DEAD SPOT
Set on-device reminders for your next inspection or a treatment that is due. They live on the phone, so there is no server to time out, and they stay listed until they fire or you remove them.
KNOW WHAT TO CHECK NEXT (COMBWISE PRO)
The Next Actions engine reads your own logs and ranks what needs you: swarm cells and swarm pressure, varroa over threshold, possible queen loss, feeding for winter, a dwindling colony, an overdue inspection and honey that may be ready. It is deterministic and 100% on-device: no AI, no network, the same input always gives the same answer.
PROTECT YOUR HONEY (PRO)
Log Apivar, oxalic acid, formic acid and other treatments and Combwise counts down the honey-withdrawal period, so you never harvest contaminated honey.
RECORDS YOU CAN HAND OVER (PRO)
Tap to make a clean PDF inspection record for a hive — for a bee inspector, your club or a nuc-and-colony buyer.
SEE THE SEASON (PRO)
Vitals and yield charts for each hive: strength, brood frames, varroa count and honey harvested across every inspection, in real counts, not vague percentages.

Pro is one honest entitlement with three ways to buy: monthly, annual (with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. Restore always works.
Whether you keep one hive or run a whole apiary, Combwise is the local-first beekeeping record keeping app that respects your time, your data and your honey.
Not veterinary or regulatory advice. Treatment withdrawal countdowns are guidance — always follow the product label and local regulations.
