9:41 Kid Kounter Kidding countdowns and care + Add a goat Clover 12 days left Due Sat, Jul 4 Kidding soon Feed Hoof Worm Vet RECENT HISTORY Feeding Today Hoof trim 2 days ago Worming last week

Built for the homesteader who can hold the whole herd in their head right up until the one week they cannot. Two jobs, done plainly, then it gets out of your way.

What it does

Two jobs. Done well. Nothing else.

No herd-management suite, no subscription, no forty fields per animal. Just a kidding countdown and a care log, the two things that actually bite you when you forget them.

Feature 01

Know who is due, down to the day

Type a doe's name and her breeding date. Kid Kounter counts down a 150-day goat gestation and does the due-date math for you, so nobody surprises you out in the back pasture at five in the morning.

  • Counts down a 150-day gestation, due date worked out for you
  • Flags "kidding soon" inside two weeks, "overdue" past day 150
  • A little painted kid turns up on the card as she gets close

Feature 02

One tap to log the chores you will forget

Tap to log a feeding, a hoof trim, a worming, or a vet note for any goat, and read back the recent history per animal. No more "wait, did I worm Clover last month, or am I thinking of last year?"

  • Four quick taps: feeding, hoof trim, worming, vet note
  • Recent history per goat, your oldest barn questions answered
  • Edit or remove any entry when you tap the wrong goat

Feature 03

Yours, in the barn, not in the cloud

Add, edit, and remove goats as the herd grows or moves on. Everything sits in the phone's own storage, so it works in a metal barn with zero bars and never sends a single thing anywhere.

  • Add, edit, remove goats as the herd changes
  • Works fully offline, added to the home screen like an app
  • No accounts, no analytics, nothing leaves the phone

How it works

From hunch to head count in one tap

No account, no app store, no setup. Add it once and it opens full screen, ready the second you walk into the barn.

1

Add to the home screen

Open it in Safari once, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. After that it works offline, full screen, like a little native app.

2

Add your does

Type each goat's name, and a breeding date for anyone you have bred. The 150-day countdown starts itself, no math from you.

3

Tap as you go

Log feed and care with a tap while you are out there, and check who is due before you head in for the night.

Under the hood

One file. No backend. No tracking.

Kid Kounter is a single HTML file you save to your home screen. Your goats, breeding dates, and every logged chore live in the phone's own local storage, so once it loads it never needs the internet again.

Single-file build Vanilla JavaScript localStorage only Fraunces + Inter Reduced-motion aware WCAG 2.2 AA No backend

There is no server, which means nothing to breach, nothing to track, and nothing to spam. Your whole herd sits in this one browser's local storage and nowhere else, which is exactly why it keeps working in a metal barn with no bars and on a phone in airplane mode. Soft motion eases back to a calm fade when a phone has Reduce Motion turned on, the contrast and tap targets are sized for cold hands and work gloves, and the only thing it ever asks of you is a goat's name. A small, practical app, built the way I think small apps should be: useful first, honest about keeping to itself, and out of your way the rest of the time.

Try it

Keep an eye on the whole herd

Open Kid Kounter, add your does, and let it count down to kidding while you log the chores you would have sworn you would remember.
