## What is Roost?

Roost is a private logbook for backyard chicken keepers. Log the eggs you
collect in a couple of taps, keep a record of every hen and flock, and, if
you sell eggs, find out whether your flock is paying for itself. No account
needed, and everything stays on your phone.

TRY IT FREE FOR TWO WEEKS
Start a free two-week trial and the whole app is yours, every feature, no
limits. Nothing is charged during the trial and you can cancel it in your
iPhone Settings at any point. If you keep going after that, Roost Pro is a
monthly or yearly plan, or a one-off lifetime payment.

WHY KEEPERS CHOOSE ROOST
• Log today's eggs in seconds, or back-date any day you missed
• Your records live on your phone and survive app updates. Nothing is lost,
  nothing is uploaded
• Works fully offline, right down the garden with no signal
• No account, no sign-up, no analytics

KEEP YOUR FLOCK IN ORDER
• Add flocks and individual birds, with photos and notes
• Tap which hens laid to build your top-layers list
• See eggs today, this week, this month, and all time at a glance
• A simple trend so you can spot when laying slows

WHAT ROOST PRO INCLUDES
• Logging flocks, birds and eggs, with no limits
• Track feed, bedding, vet and equipment costs
• Log egg sales, pack sizes and the customers who buy them
• Know your real cost per egg and your profit
• See eggs on hand, updated as you collect and sell
• Monthly production charts and your top-laying hens
• Export everything to a spreadsheet, and back up your data

Everything you've already logged stays yours to view, export and back up,
whether or not you keep Pro.

Roost is a logbook, not a vet. It keeps the records you enter; it does not
give advice about keeping chickens.

Made in Ireland by Bramble Apps.
