## What is BarnDesk?

BarnDesk is a farm and livestock management app for small and mid-size operations — sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, chickens, and bees. Whether you run five sheep or fifty cattle, it keeps your animals, your books, and your daily chores in one place.

Built by a farmer, for farmers. I run Kiko goats and Black Angus on my place in Tennessee, and I built BarnDesk because a notebook in the truck and a pile of spreadsheets weren't cutting it. Everything in here is something I needed myself.

*2026-06-03*

I love everything about this app. I love the idea of an app that can keep your chores organized and your animals on your farm. I don’t know any other way to describe this app but it’s the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Best farm app

*2026-05-15*

Best app to use to keep track of farm records.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-05-15*

This app is so helpful for tracking vaccinations, lineage and kidding/calving dates. This is an amazing upgrade from the Google Calendar and Excel Spreadsheets I’ve been using. This is the first app I’ve found that actually covers all aspects of my farm. Everything in one place with quick access and simple alerts.

### 5/5 — Great multiple features

*2026-05-15*

The tracking features on this app goes beyond just tracking financially.  But one of my favorite parts of the apps is how it works off line, then sync up after you are back in internet range.
