A backyard flock & garden log

Peck & Patch

The hens and the beds in one place — per-hen laying history, flock profiles, garden plantings, harvest, and coop chores. Local-first, so it works in a dirty coop with no signal.

🌱 No account. No ads. Works offline. Your data stays on your device.

What it does

One log for the whole homestead

Most apps do eggs and stop. Peck & Patch keeps the birds, the beds, and the harvest together — built for muddy hands and bright sun.

🐔

Flock profiles

Individual birds across species — name, breed, hatch date, photo, and notes. Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quail.

🥚

Egg log

One-tap daily counts, with per-hen attribution when you know who laid. See your trend at a glance.

🌱

Garden beds

Beds and what's planted where, with plant, transplant, and harvest dates for every crop.

🧺

Harvest & preserving

Log what came in and what got canned, frozen, or dried — a running record of the pantry.

🔔

Tasks & reminders

Recurring coop, flock-health, and garden tasks with a Today list — and an optional nudge when something's due. Free.

📴

Offline-first

Everything works with no signal, right in the coop. Install it to your home screen like a native app.

☀️

Outdoor-legible

Big tap targets and a high-contrast outdoor mode for muddy hands and bright sun. Dark mode too.

Why another flock app

The one feature keepers actually ask for

Search the backyard-chicken forums and the request repeats: “Is there an app that tracks laying per hen?” Most apps are eggs-only and shallow, or livestock-business software that's overkill for a backyard. None put the flock and the garden in one place.

Peck & Patch is built around individual-bird history — the record you need to pick breeders — and it keeps your beds and harvest alongside the birds. It runs offline, because that's where the work happens.

Honest pricing, one screen

Free is a whole product. Pro adds depth.
