## What is BarnKeeper?

Your horse's whole life, on your phone. Feed changes, medications, vet visits, farrier dates, blanket calls, and what all of it cost.

I built BarnKeeper because I have three horses at home and my system was a whiteboard in the aisle, a notes app, and a shoebox of receipts. It worked, but not as well as I wanted it to. The tools were the problem, not me.

WHO NEEDS A BLANKET TONIGHT
BarnKeeper pulls your local forecast and gives you a recommendation for each horse based on their clip, age, and coat. Log what you actually put on and build a record you can look back on next winter.

REPLACE THE FEED WHITEBOARD
Every horse's feed, supplements, and medications, current and dated. When you change a ration, the change is logged. Anyone helping at your barn sees the same thing you do.

EVERY CONDITION, EVERY MEDICATION
Health records that hold up when the vet asks. Conditions, treatments, dosages, and dates, organized per horse instead of scattered across text threads.

WHAT YOU SPENT, AND WHEN
Track board, feed, vet, farrier, and everything else. Split shared costs across horses based on actual usage, which matters if you have boarders or co-owners.

YOUR BARN TEAM
Invite the people who help. Barn managers, boarders, and helpers each see what they should and nothing they shouldn't. Add up to three emergency contacts per horse, free, with read-only access to what they'd need in a bad moment.

APPOINTMENTS
Vet, farrier, dentist, bodywork. Schedule them, get reminded, and log the outcome so the record is complete.

WHAT BARNKEEPER IS NOT
It is not a ride tracker and it is not a show calendar. This is care management. If you want GPS on your trail rides there are good apps for that. This is for the other twenty-three hours.

BarnKeeper is a record keeping tool and does not provide veterinary advice. Always consult your veterinarian.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-09-21*

This is an amazing app! Most apps are confusing and make you pay an unreasonable amount of money. Yes this app has a monthly subscription but it’s not outrageous. It’s easy to use and keep track of all your barn needs 😁.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I built BarnKeeper to be simple and fairly priced, because I was tired of confusing, overpriced apps myself. I'm so glad it's helping you keep your barn organized. If there's ever anything you'd like to see added, email me at support@barnkeeper.co.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such a kind review! I keep my own horses at home, and everything in BarnKeeper came from what I needed day to day in my own barn. It means a lot to hear it's helpful for yours. If you have ideas or feedback, reach me anytime at support@barnkeeper.co.

Such a fantastic app to keep records for my barnyard beasts!

**Developer response:** Thank you! "Barnyard beasts" made my day. 😄 I'm so happy BarnKeeper is helping you keep their records in one place. There's a lot more coming, and I'd love to hear what would help you most at support@barnkeeper.co.
