How it works

Open it in your browser. Run your whole operation.

Roan is a browser app, so there is nothing to download and no App Store wait. Sign in on your phone, tablet, or computer and your barn is right there - records, due dates, rides, and your people, all in one calm place.

The workflow

Four steps, one evening.

No manuals and no setup fees. If you can text, you can run your barn on Roan.

1

Open Roan in your browser

Go to the Roan app on any device and create your free account. Everything runs in the browser, so your phone, tablet, and computer all see the same barn.

2

Add your animals

Give each horse, cow, sheep, goat, or dog its own profile - photo, breed, birthday, and whatever else matters to you.

3

Log as you go

Record health, farrier visits, training sessions, and rides in seconds, right from the barn aisle or the trailhead - even offline.

4

Stay ahead

See what's due before it's overdue, follow your friends, and watch a whole season of work add up on each animal's record.

Put Roan on your phone

Install it from your browser in a few taps.

Add Roan to your Home Screen for a full-screen shortcut and an offline-ready app shell. It looks and feels like an app because it is one - it just skips the store.

iPhone or iPad

Use Safari for the smoothest install.

  1. Open Roan in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button.
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.

Android

Use Chrome and follow its install prompt.

  1. Open Roan in Chrome.
  2. Tap the browser menu.
  3. Choose Install app or Add to Home screen.

About the native app

A native app is in progress. Today Roan ships as a browser app you can install to your Home Screen, and a native App Store version is in development. It will be announced once device testing is complete - you don't have to wait for it to start using Roan.

Day to day

What you'll actually use.

Roan covers the whole routine, from the feed room to the far pasture.

Animal profiles & health

One clean profile per animal holds health records, vaccines, deworming, meds, and weight - so you spend less time hunting for records and more time with your animals.

Care schedules & due dates

Farrier cycles, vet visits, and vaccines all carry due dates, so you know what's coming before it's overdue - not after.

Trails & GPS

Tap start and ride. Roan tracks the route by GPS, keeps working where there's no signal, and saves miles and time straight to the horse.

Training & rides

Log a session in seconds, add notes, and watch the hours stack up across a season - the daily grind turned into a record you can see.

Community & news

Follow the friends you ride with, share wins, message, and read horse, ranch, and rodeo news alongside your feed.

AI barn helper

Ask a question and get quick, horse-savvy answers without leaving the app. AI can be wrong, so treat it as a starting point, never a diagnosis. Daily limits depend on your plan.

Works where you work

Offline in the backcountry, synced at the barn.

Roan is built for places with bad signal. Log rides and care notes offline and they sync when you're back in range. Signed in, your records live with your Roan account, so a cracked phone doesn't mean a lost season - the work you put in stays yours.

  • Offline logging & GPS
  • Syncs to your account
  • Phone, tablet, computer
  • Free to start, no card
