The essentials

Who is BarnMate for?

For half-lease riders, for owners who share their horse, for co-riders, and more broadly for any barn that wants a clear shared schedule without resorting to a spreadsheet.

Is the app available on Android?

Not yet. BarnMate is built natively for iPhone, with an iOS widget. An Android version isn't planned in the near term: the goal is to keep the highest quality of execution on a single platform.

Which iPhone do I need?

An iPhone running iOS 26 or later. The “Today” widget is available in several sizes and updates automatically.

Sharing and co-riders

How does sharing with my co-rider work?

You invite your co-rider or the owner from the settings. Everyone sees the same schedule, updates their sessions and receives reminders.

Does the person I invite have to pay?

No. Guests don't pay for the subscription: a single Share plan is enough for everyone.

Data and privacy

Is my data shared?

No. Your data stays on your iPhone and, if you wish, in your private iCloud. There's no third-party server, no tracking, no reselling. See the privacy policy.

Subscription

What does it cost?

Three plans: Solo (one horse), Share (several horses, and free sharing with co-riders), and a lifetime option. The exact details and prices are in the app, under Settings → Subscription.

How do I cancel?

From your App Store account settings, at any time. Automatic renewal is managed by Apple.

Day to day

These answers supplement the published FAQ; to be validated before going live.

How are care reminders calculated?

You set an interval for each type of care: farrier every five weeks, vaccines, dewormers, dentist, osteopathy. BarnMate tracks the intervals and warns you in time.

Can you create recurring sessions?

Yes: weekly, twice-monthly or monthly until a given date. When editing, you choose whether to apply the change to this session or to the whole series.

Can sessions appear in my calendar?

Yes, sessions export to the iOS Calendar, and the “Today” widget shows what's scheduled.

What's in the horse profile?

The passport, identification photos, health history and contacts: vet, farrier, dentist, osteopath.
