Works where there’s no reception. Live
The whole operation in your pocket, working fully offline. Muster, treat, weigh and move stock miles from the nearest bar of signal — it syncs the moment you’re back in range, with nothing lost and nothing duplicated.
Cattle work happens where the internet doesn’t. A platform that needs a connection to save a record is useless in the yards on the back paddock. Livestock Library’s field app is built offline-first: it holds your whole herd on the device, every action is saved locally the instant you tap, and it catches up with the server when you’re back at the shed or the house.
It’s a real native app for iPhone and Android — not a website pretending to be one. That matters for the two things farmers actually need in the field: pairing with the Bluetooth EID readers and scales you already own, and storage the phone’s operating system can’t quietly wipe between musters.
Fully offline, safely synced.
Saved on the device
Every muster, treatment, weigh and move is written to the phone before it shows as done — never held only in memory to be lost if the app closes.
Syncs when you’re back
On app open, on reconnect, or on a manual pull, the app sends up what you did and pulls down what changed. No background magic to fail silently.
No duplicates
Every record gets its ID on the device the moment it’s created, so two people working the same mob on two phones never create “the same” record twice.
Nothing lost between musters
A muster can be weeks of work before you’re next in range. The app stores your records in the device’s own protected storage, which the operating system can’t evict to reclaim space — unlike a browser, which can silently clear its data. “Zero data loss across weeks between musters” is a promise the platform is architected to keep, not a hope.
Why it never makes duplicates
The classic bug in farm sync software is two offline devices independently creating what turns out to be the same mob or animal, and the server can’t tell they’re the same. Livestock Library sidesteps it entirely: IDs are generated on the device, and every change is an append-only entry the server applies exactly once. Independent, genuinely-true events simply union together on sync — there’s no shared cell for two devices to overwrite.
Pairs with your gear
Because it’s native, the app pairs directly with Bluetooth EID tag readers and walk-over scales from the likes of Datamars and Tru-Test — the hardware large and commercial operations already own. Scan a tag, take a weight, log a treatment, all against the right animal, all offline.
Photos and voice notes come too
Snap a photo of an injury or speak a paddock note and it’s captured on the device immediately. The small record syncs straight away over the normal queue; the heavier photo or audio uploads separately in the background — and can be held for wifi if you’re on metered data — so a big file can never block the cheap, high-value data sync everything else depends on.
The detail.
| Platforms | Native iPhone & Android |
|---|---|
| Connectivity | Fully offline; foreground sync on open, reconnect, manual pull, and on interval |
| Local storage | On-device, OS-protected — not evictable like a browser |
| Hardware | Bluetooth EID readers & walk-over scales (Datamars, Tru-Test) |
| Duplicate safety | Device-generated IDs + append-only, apply-once sync |
| Attachments | Photos & voice notes upload on a separate, resumable queue; optional wifi-only |
