Coop Ledger
A private coop ledger in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
Chickens are generous but undocumented. The Coop Ledger fixes the paperwork side: the date, how many eggs, the hen of the day — because there is always one who has earned a mention — and notes. Over the seasons it becomes a quiet almanac of the flock: who lays when, and what the moult really cost you.
What it keeps
- Datedate
- Eggsnumber
- Hen of the dayshort text
- Notesnotes
Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Date, Eggs, Hen of the day and Notes) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of coop ledger entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Date, Eggs, Hen of the day and Notes never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Homestead tools →
Questions people ask
Why keep track of how many eggs my chickens lay?
Because the count is the flock's health report. A steady drop can mean a hidden nest, a moult, short days, or a hen going broody — and you only notice a drop if you know what normal looked like.
What is the hen of the day field for?
Credit where due. It is a free line for the hen who laid first, escaped again, or faced down the neighbour's cat. Flocks have characters, and the ledger keeps their stories.
Do I need internet in the garden for this to work?
No — the ledger is one HTML file that runs offline in your browser. No account, no signal required at the coop, and nothing you record ever leaves the page. It is yours, like the eggs.
