NestRation

NestRation is an offline-first household chicken-feed calculator built around a practical idea: every feed bag should be easy to plan before it runs out. Instead of spreading bag weights, prices, daily feed amounts, flock sizes, and notes across paper, spreadsheets, or generic note apps, NestRation gives backyard chicken keepers a focused local workspace. Add a feed bag, enter its weight and price, set your flock size and daily feed amount, and see how many days the bag lasts, the daily feed used, and the daily and total cost instantly. The Quick Bag screen is the heart of the App. It helps you estimate a single feed bag using simple inputs. Live summary cards update as you type, so you can compare different bag sizes, prices, and feeding amounts before saving the result. Two Feeds lets you compare two feed bags side by side. Line up daily cost, cost per kilogram, and how long each bag lasts so you can decide which option fits your flock better. Save comparisons you want to revisit and review the automatic difference between them later. Seasonal Stock helps you plan ahead. Estimate how much feed your flock needs across a season and keep a simple local stock plan in one place, without an account or internet connection. Notes keeps your feed observations and reminders organized. Record notes by date and category, pin the important ones, attach a photo, and optionally link a note to a specific feed bag. The Home hub turns your local entries into a simple at-a-glance summary. Review your total feed bags, combined daily cost and feed, the soonest restock, how many bags need restocking, and your saved comparison and note counts. Everything is generated on device from the data you enter. NestRation is local-first by design. There is no account to create, no cloud workspace to manage, and no required internet connection. Your feed bags, calculations, comparisons, notes, preferences, and settings stay on your device unless you explicitly share or export something using iOS system features. The interface uses a custom Chicken Road style with a soft green light mode, deep indigo dark mode, checklist-like cards, rounded controls, clear numbers, and calm progress visuals. It is designed to feel more like a quick feed-planning board than another generic spreadsheet. Use NestRation to plan feed bags, compare feeds, estimate seasonal stock, remember past results, and keep local notes close at hand.
