Apiara — Beekeeping, Beautifully Organized Whether you care for two backyard hives or dozens across multiple yards, Apiara keeps your records organized and close at hand—so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time with your bees. CAPTURE EVERY INSPECTION Record queen sightings, brood patterns, temperament, food stores, hive space, and more while you are at the hive. Add photos of frames and comb or record a voice note when your hands are full. Every detail stays with the right colony. PLAN THE NEXT VISIT Schedule follow-up inspections, swarm checks, and treatment windows. Update plans as conditions change, with reminders kept in sync with your latest schedule. TRACK COLONY HEALTH Record Varroa mite counts and follow trends throughout the season. Maintain queen and requeening histories, including queen lineage, and receive helpful aging-queen indicators. Treatment records include withdrawal periods so you can see when honey supers may safely return. RECORD YOUR HARVEST Track honey harvests by hive or apiary in pounds or kilograms. Export reports as spreadsheets when it is time to review the season or share your records.

It lets keepers: • Record hive inspections (queen status, brood, temperament, stores, space), including backdated entries • Attach photos and voice notes to individual hives • Track Varroa mite counts, view season trends, and receive high-mite and swarm-risk alerts • Receive scheduled reminders for follow-up inspections and treatment windows • Export records as spreadsheets and printable hive reports • Optionally sync to the cloud, share an apiary with collaborators, and back up media (Pro) The app is fully localized in English and Spanish. LOCAL-FIRST — NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED FOR CORE FEATURES No sign-in is needed for the core experience: all records are stored on the device, and inspections, media, Varroa tracking, reminders, and exports work fully offline. To evaluate without credentials: 1. Open the app; create an apiary and a hive 2. Log an inspection; attach a photo and voice note 3. Record a Varroa mite count; set a reminder 4. Export the hive's records as a spreadsheet OPTIONAL ACCOUNT AND PRO SUBSCRIPTION • An account (email sign-in) is optional and only needed for cloud features: multi-device sync, apiary sharing, media backup, and the companion web portal. • Apiara Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly/annual) purchased via in-app purchase. It unlocks unlimited cloud-synced hives (free accounts sync up to 3 hives per apiary), sharing, media backup, and full web portal access. • The paywall shows pricing and terms, offers Restore Purchases, and links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. • Test account for cloud/Pro features: [email] / [password] PERMISSIONS • Notifications — to deliver inspection/treatment reminders • Camera — only when the user chooses to attach a photo • Microphone — only when the user chooses to record a voice note Each is requested in context, only when the user initiates the action, with a clear usage-description string. ORIGINAL, INDEPENDENTLY BUILT Apiara's interface and design were created specifically for this app around a beekeeper's real field workflow. It was not built from a template or clone kit; the data model, reminder system, sync/sharing model, and Varroa analysis are all custom. WHY IT SHOULD BE APPROVED • 4.2 (Minimum Functionality): substantial purpose-built functionality — record-keeping, media capture, Varroa tracking, alerts, reports/exports, reminders, and optional sync/sharing — well beyond a repackaged website. • 4.3 (Spam/Duplicates): an original product with unique design and custom codebase. • 3.1.1/3.1.2 (Subscriptions): Pro is sold solely via Apple in-app purchase, with clear pricing, restore, and required policy links. • 5.1 (Privacy): no account needed for core use; local records stay on device. With an opt-in account, only data needed for sync/sharing is stored. Permissions are contextual with clear usage strings. • 2.1 (Completeness): all features above are functional in this build, with no placeholder or broken flows. If you have any questions or need additional access during review, please reach out and I'll respond promptly.
