Mibzer

Mibzer is built for farmers who are tired of keeping their fields and their money in a paper notebook. Track which field you watered and when, what you sprayed and at what dose, and exactly how much cash left your pocket this season — all in one app. ADD YOUR FIELDS
Register each field with its name, area and crop. Add the parcel or plot number from your title deed if you want. Wheat, barley, corn, tomato, olive, grape, walnut, cotton and more are ready in the list — and you can type in any crop that isn't there. LOG THE DAY'S WORK
Record irrigation, spraying and fertilizing the same day you do them, in a few taps. * Irrigation: duration, water amount and method (drip, flood, sprinkler) * Spraying: product name, dose, treated area, target pest and pre-harvest interval * Fertilizing: product name, dose amount and unit Every entry can carry a cost and a note. So when you ask yourself "how many times did I spray this field this season," the answer is always in your hand. SET REMINDERS
Schedule a reminder for irrigation, spraying or fertilizing on any future date. Need it to repeat? Set it for every 7 days and your phone will tell you when it's due. Overdue and upcoming work shows up at a glance on the Today screen. KEEP YOUR CASH BOOK
Log income and expenses by category: seed, labor, fuel, electricity, rent, harvest sale. Enter a quantity and unit price and the total is calculated for you. Link an entry to a field and you'll see that field's profit and loss on its own. Monthly income and expense charts plus an expense breakdown show you where the money actually goes. GET YOUR REPORTS
Build summaries by day, month, custom date range or all time. Total spend, cost per unit area, activity counts and a field-by-field breakdown are all ready. Download any report as a PDF and send it to your accountant or your partner. WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
No signal out in the field? It still works. Your data stays on your phone. No sign-up, no account. BACK UP YOUR DATA
Export everything to a single file. When you change phones, restore the backup and pick up where you left off. WHO IT'S FOR
Small and mid-scale farmers, orchard and vineyard owners, greenhouse growers, and anyone renting land who wants to know what it costs. Download Mibzer and keep this season's books properly.
