A homestead isn't one thing, so it shouldn't take four apps. Homestead Companion keeps your tasks, calendar, budget, garden, weather, and notes in one place — free and complete on its own — then lets you add only the animals you actually keep.
Tasks, money, garden, and animals stop living in separate notebooks — swipe through a few of the screens.
Not a trial, not a teaser. Everything below is in the app the moment you install it.
Every chore across the whole place — recurring or one-off — with local notifications that fire whether or not you have signal.
Feedings, plantings, vet visits, and bills on a single calendar, with one-tap export to your phone's calendar app.
Income and expenses across animals, garden, and product sales in a single ledger — so you can finally see whether the place pays for itself.
Beds, plantings, and harvest logs with running totals and a simple crop calendar — the piece that makes it homestead-shaped.
The forecast for your place, right on the home screen, so you know whether today is a planting day or a barn day.
A gallery organized into albums and a searchable journal for everything that doesn't fit neatly into a form.
Each species is a module you unlock with a single one-time purchase. Yours forever — no subscription, ever.
Flocks and individual birds, coops, egg logs, feed and supplements, hatchery and breeding, and full health records.
$6.99 onceYour herd, milk logs, kidding records, fiber, feed, and health — dairy, meat, and fiber goats alike.
$6.99 onceThe rabbitry, breeding and litters, daily care, weights, feed, and health for meat, fiber, and pet rabbits.
$6.99 onceHorses, donkeys, mules, and drafts: hoof care and deworming cycles, health records and Coggins dates, weight and body condition, feed, and a work log.
$6.99 onceEvery module folds into the free core — its chores land on your calendar, its costs land in your budget. Buy one, buy them all, or none at all.
Most apps in this space want an account, then quietly build a business on what you put in it. Homestead Companion does the opposite — it's built privacy-first, by one person, because what happens on your place is your business.
There's no sign-up and no server holding your information. The app works fully offline; the only optional outbound calls are weather and voice-to-text, and neither carries personal data the developer can see.
The whole homestead core: tasks and reminders, a shared calendar with .ics export, a full budget with reports, the garden with beds and harvest logs, local weather, a photo gallery, and notes. It's a complete app on its own — you never have to buy anything.
Poultry, goats, rabbits, and equine are each a one-time $6.99 unlock that adds that animal's full record-keeping surface — the herd or flock, health, breeding, and species-specific production like eggs and milk. Buy only the ones you keep. There is no subscription anywhere in the app.
Equine and Flock Companion are single-animal apps for people who keep one kind of animal seriously. Homestead Companion is for a mixed place — a bit of everything, plus a garden and the money and chores that tie it all together — with one calendar and one budget across the lot.
No. There's no sign-up, no email, no password. You open the app and your records live on your device from the first tap.
Entirely on your phone or tablet. There's no Taur Studios server holding your homestead's information, so there's nothing to be breached or sold. If you delete the app, your data goes with it — that's the point.
Yes. The app is fully usable offline. The optional online features are weather, which sends only an approximate location to Open-Meteo at request time, and voice-to-text, which uses your device's own speech recognition.
Free on iOS and Android. No account, no ads, no subscription — just your homestead.
