You shouldn't need a notebook to know what pasture your cattle are in.
You move cattle. RanchOS keeps the record. That's the whole deal.
Open it on your phone, see it at a glance, get back to work.
The questions you actually ask
Real questions. Plain answers.
“What pasture are my cattle in right now?”
Open the app. There they are. No flipping through a notebook, no calling the hand who moved them last week.
“When did we move them last?”
Every move is dated. Look at the pasture, see how many days they've been on it. No more "I think it was a couple weeks ago."
“Where should they go next?”
See which pastures have been rested longest and which still have grass. You make the call — RanchOS just shows you what's in front of you.
“Do I have enough grass left here?”
Track how long they've been there. Watch a pasture get pushed too hard and you'll know before the cattle do.
No setup, no friction
Start grazing in seconds
You've been moving cattle since you were tall enough to swing a gate. The app shouldn't make that complicated.
Tap a pasture
On the map or in the list — your call.
Hit "Start Grazing"
Pick the herd if you run more than one. Otherwise it picks for you.
You're done
No setup. No forms. The grazing record is created and the cattle are on that pasture.
That's it. No wizard. No required fields. No "are you sure?" twelve times.
Grazing period tracking
Every move is a record. Every record is dated.
When you start grazing on a pasture, RanchOS writes it down. When you move off, it closes that period. Start date, end date, which herd, which pasture.
No more "I think we moved them right after Easter." You'll have an exact date next to it.
Full history per pasture — see every herd that's been on it.

See it clearly. You decide.
Know what's coming next
We don't pretend an algorithm knows your country better than you do. We just put the numbers in front of you so the call is easy.
Days on this pasture
At a glance, see how long the herd's been on a pasture. When it's pushing the limit you set in your head, you'll see it.
Days of rest
See which pastures have been resting longest. Pick the one that's ready, not the one you walked past on the way home.
Where they've been
This season's rotation, in order. Useful when you're planning next month's moves over coffee.
No "AI recommendations." No "optimization scores." Just the numbers — so you can do what you've always done, with better information in front of you.
Built for the field
Works where you actually work
Cattle don't graze where the cell tower reaches. Neither does the app.
Move cattle from the saddle
Out on the south end with no bars? Move 'em anyway. The app records it.
Look up history with no signal
Last move date, current pasture, days on grass — all there whether you have signal or not.
Syncs when you're back in range
Drive home, walk into the kitchen, the app catches up. Nothing for you to do.
Most ranch software pretends offline doesn't matter. We built RanchOS offline-first because you're going to use it where there's no signal and we'd rather you trust it than fight it.
Connects to the rest of your operation
Grazing doesn't happen in a vacuum
Grazing touches breeding, fencing, hay, and the books. RanchOS connects them so you only enter things once.
Bull turnout & breeding
Know which bull was with which group
When a calf hits the ground next spring, RanchOS already knows the breeding season it came from — based on what pasture mom was in and which bull was turned out with her.
Bookkeeping
Cost per head per pasture
Land work, fencing repairs, fuel — the costs that touch a pasture flow through to the cattle that grazed it. Grazing days do the math.
Forage awareness
Get a heads-up before grass runs out
Tell RanchOS roughly how much forage a pasture starts with and it'll draw down based on the herd you've got on it. Push notifications when you're getting low.
Gate-aware route planning
"How do I get there from here?"
RanchOS knows your fence layout, your gates, your two-tracks, and your obstacles. Pick a destination on the map and it figures out the actual route — gate by gate. Works offline on your phone. If a gate's closed, no problem; you know whether to leave it that way.
Built for ranchers
You don't have time for complicated systems
You need answers fast. You need it to work in the field. You need it to stay out of your way the rest of the time.
Gloves on, big buttons
Tap targets sized for cold fingers and work gloves. No fiddly menus.
Quick actions, not forms
Common moves take one or two taps. We don't make you fill out a wizard to do something you'll do twenty times this season.
Built for daily use
You're going to open this every day. We made sure that doesn't feel like a chore.
No signal needed
Designed for ranches, not coffee shops. Mountain pastures, dirt roads, dead zones — works everywhere.
