Herdcount vs FlockFlow

Stop counting them twice. Count them as they walk past. Herdcount counts chickens, sheep, cattle, plants and people on your iPhone, from a photo or live as a herd moves through a gate. No internet, no account, no subscription. NEW IN 1.5: BIG, SPREAD-OUT FLOCKS Herdcount now looks at a photo section by section as well as whole, so animals far across the pasture get found. On one test photo of a large flock, the count went from 14 to 173. That is one photo, not a promise, and you can always fix the count by hand. Recount the same flock and Herdcount shows you last time's count, so you can see what changed. COUNT A MOVING HERD Prop your phone on the gate rail and let them walk through. Herdcount counts each animal as it crosses the line on screen. No photo, no clicker, no losing your place at 140 and starting over. Out in the pasture instead? Hold it up and pan slowly across the field. Same thing: every animal counted once as it passes. IT CORRECTS ITSELF Pan back to double-check and the count unwinds instead of doubling. A ewe that balks at the gate and turns around comes straight back off the tally. Count the way you actually move. COUNT PEOPLE, TOO Scan mode counts people the same way, through a gate, a doorway or a barn. Handy for a shearing crew, a farm stand, an open house, a market booth or a school tour. Herdcount counts people. It does not identify them: no faces are stored, no video is recorded, and nothing is uploaded. There is no server to upload to. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo or choose one from your library 2. Pick a category: Poultry, Sheep, Cattle, Plants, People or Other 3. Herdcount marks each animal or plant with a numbered dot 4. Adjust the count with the +/- buttons if needed 5. Save it to your flock log NO SIGNAL NEEDED Everything runs on your iPhone using a built-in model. It works in pastures, barns and anywhere else with poor reception, which is where you count livestock anyway. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No cloud upload. No subscription.

FlockFlow is a private, on-device sheep counter for iPhone. Take a photo or choose one from Photos to count visible sheep, or track directional crossings with the rear camera, the included example video, or your own videos. COUNT THE WAY YOU WORK - Review marked sheep and the total in a photo. Retake or choose another image without changing the original. Photo results are temporary and do not enter History or change pasture movement totals. - See inbound, outbound, and net totals as sheep cross an adjustable counting zone. - Save separate counting zones for camera and video inputs. - Review local session history, sheep-level diagnostics, and optional pasture associations. - Save annotated counting videos to Photos at 480p, 720p, or 1080p, with optional pasture, completion time, and final-total details. - Choose among the included offline live/video counting options. Photos use a dedicated on-device detector. FREE AND PRO Photo counting and the bundled example are free. Try the 18-second example from Home or, without Pro, from the purchase screen without buying or starting a trial. It opens counting-zone setup; counting begins only when you choose Start Count. Free live-camera sessions allow two minutes of active counting each, with unlimited new sessions. Setup and interruptions do not use the allowance; results remain available when a session reaches the limit. Optional FlockFlow Pro removes that camera-session limit and unlocks counting your own videos. Choose an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Eligible customers can choose a seven-day annual free trial when offered. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; after a trial, the displayed annual price applies unless canceled. Lifetime is a single payment with no renewal. Apple handles billing. Restore purchases and manage subscriptions from Settings. Previous paid-download customers retain Pro access without another purchase. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Detection, tracking, and counting run on your iPhone. No FlockFlow account is needed. There is no advertising, analytics SDK, cloud inference, or runtime model download. Camera permission is needed only for taking photos or live counting. Apple's picker shares only the photos or videos you choose; Photos add access is requested only when you save an annotated video. Location is optional and requested only when you choose Use My Location for a pasture. Purchasing, restoring, and confirming renewals, uncached maps, and cloud-only Photos items can require connectivity. Counting stays on-device. FlockFlow supports English, Mongolian, and Simplified Chinese. It is a counting aid: visibility, crowding, lighting, camera position, and counting options can affect results. Verify counts before using them for important livestock records. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
