- Worth noticing
- The maker says it grew out of her own scattered phone notes; the site explicitly says it is for small farms, not large commercial operations.
Field notes
The maker describes building the project after her own animal notes became scattered across her phone. The page says records can cover single animals or whole herds and flocks, and highlights a sitter sheet that can be texted or printed. It also describes receipt scanning and tracking feed, sales and production, though these are advertised features rather than demonstrated functionality.
