Scutely is the all-in-one app for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate keepers and breeders. Track your whole collection, stay on top of daily care, plan your breeding projects, all in one place. ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION Keep every animal in one library with photos, traits, sex, weight, and full history. Group your animals the way you actually keep them, as a plain group, a rack, or a cage stack, with numbered slots (A1, A2, and so on) that mirror your real setup. Drag animals between slots to rearrange a rack the way it sits. STAY ON TOP OF CARE Schedule feeding, cleaning, water changes, misting, and medication for a single animal or a whole group, on any repeat you like, every few days, certain weekdays, or a day of the month. A new To-Do area shows what needs doing today and what is coming up on a calendar. Check a task off, or just log the care event by scanning or by hand and it checks itself off for you. NEVER MISS A TASK Get a push notification when care is coming up or running late. Choose how many days ahead you want the heads-up and the time of day it arrives, and turn on daily overdue reminders that follow up for up to a week until the task is done. Reminders are grouped, so a rack due to eat sends you one clear notification instead of one per animal. SHOP FOR FEEDING DAY The Feeder Pick List turns your upcoming feedings into a shopping-style list by prey item and size, with date ranges you can export or share. TRACK GROWTH AND HEALTH Log weight and length over time, record sheds, and manage medical treatments and quarantine. Temperature logging captures the hot side, cool side, and ambient reading together in one entry. PLAN YOUR BREEDING PROJECTS Build breeding groups, track pairings and gravid females with expected dates, and record clutches from egg to hatchling with a full lineage and production summary. A trait calculator predicts what a pairing could produce before you put animals together. TRAITS, MORPHS, AND GENETICS Record the exact morphs and traits each animal carries, with the right inheritance type, and see them as color-coded chips across the app. HerpDex is a community-built database of species and traits you can browse, contribute to, and vote on. SHARE AND SELL Give any animal its own public web page to show a project or list it for sale, no app needed to view it. Print show cards, store cards, and ID cards with QR codes. Transfer an animal to a new owner with its full history intact. SCAN TO WORK FAST Every animal gets a QR code. Scan to pull up an animal instantly, or use Multi Scan to bulk-log feedings and care across your whole collection at once. Works on iPhone, iPad, and the web, so your collection is with you wherever you are. Scutely offers a free plan plus Hobbyist, Breeder, and Pro subscriptions that raise your animal limit and unlock photos, public pages, listings, printed cards, and more.
