Rabbit breeding records with no internet

Last updated 3 November 2026.

Short answer: keep the records on a laptop, not on a website. Then they work in the barn with no signal, and catch up when you are back in the house. If they must be on your phone with no signal, read where this is honest first.

On Rabbit Talk, in a thread called rabbitry record keeping apps for phone use, a breeder who loves their paper records wanted a second copy on the phone. Their list: it “must have pedigrees, color genetics input, a calendar & notes section”, photos, “the ability to use offline”, and a way to make it their own. (Posted 25 November 2022, read 3 November 2026.)

That is not one form. It is a few lists that point at each other: rabbits, breedings, litters and weigh-ins.

How the lists fit together

Opening a doe shows every breeding she has had and every kit that names her as dam. The colour genetics go in a notes field on each rabbit, in your own shorthand; there is no genetics calculator. Put a due date on each breeding and the Breedings list shows on a calendar.

Records that live on the laptop

Bionic Forms builds a small app from a spreadsheet or a sentence, such as “rabbitry records with pedigrees, breedings, litters and weigh-ins”. Our desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux keeps a full, encrypted copy on the computer. With no connection at all you can:

• Add a breeding, a litter or a weight with the date, the numbers and a note.
• Attach a photo of a rabbit to its own record.
• Search and sort: every doe of one breed, every litter from one buck, breedings by due date.
• Add a field you track and nobody else does. That is the “make it my own” part.

When the laptop finds a connection again, the changes go up by themselves, and a second computer sees the same records.

Getting a spreadsheet in

A spreadsheet with a page for each doe works. Drop the .xlsx on our home page. A workbook with several sheets asks which one to start with; when the first is in, the others are offered as buttons. When a later sheet has a Rabbit Name column, each row is linked to the rabbit it names. Free covers unlimited apps and 10,000 entries per app.

Where this is honest

• No offline phone app yet. Offline is the desktop app only. On a phone, ours runs in the browser and needs a signal. If the records must be in your pocket in a barn with no signal, an offline phone app made for rabbitries will suit you better today.
• Sire and dam come in as plain text. We do not guess which rabbit a “Sire” column means. You turn it into a link to Rabbits yourself, in the field editor, once. After that you pick the parent from a list.
• No printed pedigree chart. A rabbit's page shows its sire and dam, and you can print that page, but not a four-generation pedigree form.
• No formulas. A due date worked out from the breeding date comes in as a plain value. Type it in.
• Set it up while you have a connection. The AI that builds the app runs on our server. Using it afterwards does not need one.
• We are small and pre-launch. We say plainly which parts are not finished, and your data can always be exported again.
