About

Keeper

Your bees can't remind you what they need. Keeper can. Keeper is the offline hive tracker that works where your bees are — gloved hands, no signal, mid-inspection. Log what you see and Keeper flags what's due next. One saved colony pays for this app many times over. A missed mite treatment doesn't announce itself. You find out weeks later when the colony is already crashing. A queen you meant to check goes queenless for a month. A follow-up you were sure you'd remember never happens. The problem isn't knowledge — it's that no notebook can track every hive, every treatment window, every follow-up across a full operation. Log an inspection in a few taps. Keeper reads what you entered and queues the follow-up — the mite recount in 10 days, the requeen check, the second treatment in the series. When you complete the work, it auto-completes. No extra tapping with gloved hands. Less screen time, more bee time. Stick a cheap NFC tag on any hive and scan it to jump straight to that hive's records. No scrolling through lists, no guessing which box you're in. Or skip it and use the app standalone, your choice. Your insights dashboard turns months of inspections into a clear picture — mite counts graphed across the season, colony health by yard, winter loss patterns. The kind of overview that used to require a spreadsheet and a free afternoon. Start a yard visit when you arrive. Keeper tracks which hives you've worked so you don't drive home wondering if you missed one. Review your time later. See where the season is heading. Your data stays on your device and it's yours — works without an account, without internet, without giving anything up. Free to try, no credit card required. Keeper Pro unlocks unlimited apiaries and hives, plus cloud sync across devices. Download it before your next yard visit. You'll wonder how you worked without it.
