About this app

Every hive, every inspection, remembered.

In season, every colony has to be opened every seven to ten days — and what you saw matters most at the NEXT visit. That is exactly when a scribbled note has gone missing. Combly is a proper beekeeping logbook that works entirely on your phone, so nothing is lost between visits.

GUIDED INSPECTIONS
Record queen seen, eggs, capped brood, brood pattern, temperament, population, honey and pollen stores, space, and swarm, supersedure and emergency cells — using large tap targets you can drive while wearing gloves.

NEVER MISS A COLONY
Each colony carries its own inspection interval. The Today list shows which hives are due, which are overdue, when a treatment course ends, and the day a withdrawal period clears so supers can safely go back on.

VARROA, TREATMENTS AND WITHDRAWAL PERIODS
Log alcohol wash, sugar roll, CO2 or 24-hour drop counts, normalised to mites per 100 bees and flagged against the treatment threshold. Record each treatment's product, dose and dates, and let Combly track the withdrawal period for you.

QUEENS, HARVESTS AND FEEDING
Keep each queen's origin, install date and international marking colour, with the full supersede and requeen history. Weigh every honey pull, count frames, and watch running season totals per colony.

INSIGHTS AND CHARTS
See inspections per week, honey by colony, varroa trend against the action threshold, and colony strength over the season — all computed on your device, with a per-colony drill-down.

STREAKS, GOALS AND BADGES
A weekly inspection streak, season harvest and inspection targets, and thirteen unlockable badges to keep the rhythm going all summer.

ORGANISE AND FIND ANYTHING
Multiple apiaries, tags, favourites, full-text search across colonies and notes, filters by status, and sorting by what needs attention first. Archive dead-outs without losing their history, and undo any delete.

YOUR RECORDS, YOURS TO KEEP
Export a full JSON backup you can restore, or a per-inspection CSV that opens straight in a spreadsheet — useful for association and inspection records. Restore merges by record, so re-importing never duplicates.

MAKE IT YOURS
Light, dark or automatic theme, five accent colours and a compact layout.

100% OFFLINE, PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising and no third-party SDKs. Out-apiaries rarely have signal, so everything is stored on your device — field notes in an AES-256 encrypted box. The only permission Combly requests is internet access, used solely to show the privacy policy inside the app.

Combly is a logbook, not an advisor: it records what you observed and reminds you when a colony is due. For notifiable diseases and treatment guidance, follow your national bee inspectorate and local association.
