HomesteadOS: Ranch Manager
Ranch Manager
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: share your homestead with your household. Track animals, garden, chores, eggs, milk, and harvests in one calm, private place that syncs across your Apple devices.
HomesteadOS an all-in-one app for running your homestead, hobby farm, or backyard flock. Keep your animals, garden, chores, and daily production in one beautiful place — and now share it with the people you homestead with.
ANIMALS & LIVESTOCK
Track flocks and individual animals — chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, rabbits, and more.
Record breeds, sex, birth and acquired dates, health and breeding events, and photos. See head counts
and recent production at a glance.
GARDEN
Plan beds and plantings and follow each crop from planned to growing to harvested. Log harvests and
watch your yields add up across the season.
CHORES & REMINDERS
Set one-off to-dos or recurring chores like collecting eggs, refilling water, or worming the goats.
Recurring chores roll forward automatically when you complete them, and optional reminders make sure
nothing slips.
PRODUCTION
Log eggs, milk, honey, and harvests in seconds. Your dashboard shows today's eggs and this week's
totals so you can see how your homestead is doing.
JOURNAL
Everything you log — notes, completed chores, production, harvests, and health records — flows into
one chronological feed you can filter by category.
VOICE NOTES
A floating mic on every screen lets you capture a hands-free voice note while you work, with a live
transcript so it stays readable and searchable later.
WEATHER
Current conditions and a 5-day forecast for your homestead, with frost and heat advice for your
animals and garden.
SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Invite your family to share one homestead. Everyone sees the same animals, garden, and chores, and
changes anyone makes sync to all of you — perfect for splitting the daily rounds.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data lives in your own iCloud — no separate account, no password, no server. It syncs
automatically across your iPhone and iPad, and stays yours.
Whether you keep a few backyard hens or run a small ranch, HomesteadOS helps you stay on top of it all without the clutter.
