Evening transcription from a dirty notebook
Cownt records a procedure in three clicks, cow number, limb, ICAR code. No transcribing, no lost data, no late-night Excel work after a full day in the barn.
A modern mobile application for professional dairy cattle hoof trimmers. ICAR-compliant, one-click PDF reports, works offline.


Cownt was built by two brothers, a hoof trimmer who works in the crush every day and a developer who turned that hands-on knowledge into software. Not a generic livestock management system, but a highly specialized tool that answers the real problems of daily trimmer work.
Cownt records a procedure in three clicks, cow number, limb, ICAR code. No transcribing, no lost data, no late-night Excel work after a full day in the barn.
Full treatment history in your pocket. One-click PDF report, whether for a farmer asking why 048 is limping again, or for a vet during a compliance inspection.
Three crews, one large farm, three sets of notes. Cloud Sync synchronizes data across devices and merges results from the whole team, even from different companies, into one cohesive PDF for the farmer.
Pie charts and radar charts show which limbs have the most recurring problems. Hard data for conversations with the farmer, management errors visible at a glance, treatment progress tracked over months.
The same workflow on two independent native apps. Below, an iPad and an Android tablet in turn — real captures from both.

iPad · iPadOS
You are holding the grinder and the cow is in the crush. Putting the tool down and reaching for the tablet costs more than the entry itself. Cownt listens and writes it down for you.
Said out loud
cow number 1 2 3 4 5, left front, wrap, block, dermatitis
Written down
The whole sentence accepted at once. A single “undo” reverses all of it.
Speech recognition runs entirely offline, on the tablet. The recording goes nowhere and is never stored.
Polish, English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. The command language is independent of the app and report languages.
Ear tag, leg and several treatments in one utterance. A twelve-digit number is checked against its checksum, so a misheard cow is rejected rather than saved.
The feature is marked experimental and we treat it that way. The model (~50 MB) is downloaded once, on demand. In a loud barn the voice pauses itself, because in noise recognition returns confident and wrong words. After every accepted command the app says what it wrote down.
See every commandEvery feature grew from a real problem faced by a trimmer working in the crush, because one of Cownt's creators is one.
The cow number from the keypad or a Bluetooth ear-tag scanner, then the leg, then a code from a ready list. Leg Mode moves to the next hoof by itself, and a duplicate ear tag is caught before you save the wrong cow.
After the visit you get a document with the treated animals, ICAR diagnoses, hoof photos and a cost summary — VAT, currency, discount, separate rates for tie-stall and free-stall barns, and your own billing positions. Both signatures go on the glass with a finger.
Several crews on one farm? Cloud Sync keeps devices in step and merges the crews' results into one report for the farmer. Every change on a cow stays in the log, so it is clear who corrected what.
Sign in at portal.cownt.app from a computer: a herd health score from 0 to 100, lameness trends, high-risk cows and reports merged across sessions. You give the farmer the same view free of charge, with nothing for them to install.
No coverage in the barn does not stop the work: Cownt records locally and you upload when you choose. The subscription runs offline for up to two weeks, so poor signal never locks you out mid-day.
Three code catalogues to choose from: a basic one with sixteen, a full ICAR-aligned one with twenty-three, or one you build yourself from scratch. Plus a twenty-four-zone claw selector, medial and lateral sides, and mobility scoring on the AHDB or Sprecher scale.
And also
App language, report language and voice-command language are set independently. Changing one leaves the others alone.

A Polish trimmer takes a contract in Germany. He works in the Polish interface because it is faster for him, and leaves the German farm a report in German. No translating, no retyping.
Work in the language you think in. At the crush that is simply faster.
The farmer gets the document in their own language, even if you do not speak it.
Speak your own language; the recognition runs on the device. No internet needed.
Every app and report language
The marked languages also support voice control.
Below is a sample PDF report generated by Cownt after a hoof trimming session. A professional document, ready to send to the farmer with one click.
The report language is independent of the app language. Work in your own language and hand a German farm a German report. Fourteen languages to choose from.
The ear-tag keypad, the limb selector and the full grid of 23 ICAR codes all fit on one screen. No scrolling, no switching tabs, no losing your rhythm at the crush.

Check a cow's history before you drive in, re-send a report from the yard, sync when you pick up signal on the road. The same tab layout, fitted to a narrow screen.




Cownt runs on Android 8.0 and newer, and on iOS and iPadOS 18 — on the Apple side an iPad 9th generation is enough. The layout adapts to width, not to platform. Two separate native apps, Android and iOS, one set of data. This is not a web page wrapped in an app.
Cownt works on any device with Android 8.0 or newer, and on iOS and iPadOS 18. Our testers find 10–12 inch tablets most comfortable, large enough to work in the crush, compact enough to fit in a holder.
The same entries you make at the crush add up to a picture of your own business: who calls regularly, whose cows take you longest, and how much you actually worked this season.
Illustrative figures. The layout shows what you will see in the app from your own data.
Cownt lists on its own the clients you have not visited in more than six months. A typical trimming cycle is four to six months, so that list is not trivia — it is a call sheet.
Pace computed from real worked time, not from the span of the day, and kept per client. You see where the barn, the crew or the crush eat hours nobody pays for.
How many cows have passed through your hands since day one, and which month held the most. A small thing — but in a conversation about rates, nothing beats your own number.
It is a separate PDF, about your business — eleven sections, no customer copy and no signatures. You do not send it to the farmer; you read it yourself.
See what the reports holdYou enter the farmer's e-mail once, in the farm settings. From then on they sign in at portal.cownt.app and see their herd's whole health history — with nothing to install and no subscription of their own.
For you that is an argument in the conversation: you give the farmer a view no notebook can.
One number from 0 to 100, next to the prevalence of each lesion and a list of high-risk cows.
Whether the herd is better or worse than at the previous visit — over 30 days, 90 days or 12 months.
Every treatment, every ICAR diagnosis and every photo, cow by cow — including when several crews serve the farm.
Pay monthly or save with an annual plan. Less than a phone subscription, in return you get a professional work tool and several hours a week free from paperwork.
After the trial you choose monthly or annual, without losing any data from your trial days.
There's no sales department and no call centre here — we answer the phone and the e-mail ourselves. And if you need more time to try Cownt out properly, write to us too. We'll extend the trial.
