Shed turns schedules, completed care, weights, and animal records into one calm household dashboard—so today’s care gets done, everyone’s work is credited, and tomorrow’s questions have answers.
Shed is organized around individual animals and terrestrial habitats, with enough structure to show patterns over time.
Feeding, misting, water, supplements, salads, and recurring maintenance in one current list, with a one-day carryover so nothing slips.
Every keeper signs in with their own name and private code. Completed care is credited to the person who did it—handy for shared homes and allowance day.
Gram-based weight history and a full profile for each animal: morph, sex, enclosure, equipment, notes, and every recorded event.
Build daily, weekly, every-N-day, monthly, and one-time routines per animal—right from the app, no config files.
Track weighed feeder inventory and let Shed forecast upcoming meals from growth trends, so you order the right sizes in time.
Ordinary tables, stable identifiers, ISO dates, JSON and CSV exports, in-app restore, and dated SQLite backups. Your data is never trapped.
Shed runs as a Docker container on any always-on machine on your home network—an old PC, a NAS, a home server, or a Raspberry Pi.
The installer builds Shed, turns on sign-in, and saves a one-time setup token in shed/.env. Open http://your-server:3000, enter that token, and create your Head Keeper account. Re-run the same command any time to update without touching your database or settings.
Want enclosure monitoring too? Choose Haven in the Haven installer to set up Shed + Bask and automatically connect their combined room dashboard.
A simple interface on top of a structured, append-only care history.
Your daily, weekly, monthly, and every-N-day routines become a clear set of tasks for the right animals.
Whether it is you or one of the kids, everyone signs in on their own phone and every device sees the same completed state—credited by name.
Weights, feedings, husbandry changes, and health notes can be reviewed—and corrected without erasing the record—instead of reconstructed from memory.
No. Shed is fully self-hosted and runs on your own network. Nothing about your animals or household leaves your machine, and there are no accounts to sign up for or fees to pay.
Yes. The first person to set up Shed becomes the Head Keeper and manages animals, care plans, exports, and household access. Additional Keepers get their own private codes and can record care from their phones without changing schedules or deleting history.
No. Portability is a core requirement: stable identifiers, ordinary relational data, ISO timestamps, and open JSON and CSV exports. You can restore a backup in-app, and the installer keeps dated SQLite snapshots.
Any always-on machine on your home network that runs Docker—an old laptop, a NAS, a home server, or a Raspberry Pi. Shed is lightweight and stores everything in a single SQLite database.
Haven is the combined Bask + Shed installation and room dashboard. It is not another database: Bask and Shed stay independent while one read-only display brings climate status and today’s care together.
No. Shed is a planning and recordkeeping tool, not veterinary advice or a universal care guide. Species targets and schedules should always come from appropriate, trusted sources.
