Every joy, remembered for life!

Log each beetle, watch it grow

Add a beetle with its beetle ID and species, then just keep logging. Log a food change, pupation or eclosion, and the beetle’s stage, hatching date and eclosion date all update automatically.

• Easy registration

  Pick species, sex, generation and more from lists. Choose a stage when you add a beetle and its first log is created automatically. You can also start its records from a wild collection or a purchase.

• Logs

  Record weight, head width, container, food and notes by date. Pick a log type such as condition check, food change, hatching, pupation, eclosion, first feeding or harvest.

• Larva growth chart

  Logged larva weights are charted against days since hatching. See at a glance where the weight shot up.

• Photos

  Keep photos of each beetle: how it grew, and how it looked when it eclosed, all with its records.

• Locality, bloodline and generation

  Locality, bloodline, parent ♂ and parent ♀, and generation (WD, F1, CBF1 and more) for every beetle. Choose parents from the adults you’ve added and trace the bloodline back.

• Saved to the cloud

  Your records are saved to the cloud. When you change phones, log in with the same account and carry on where you left off.

Find the beetle you need, right away

Even as your collection grows, search by beetle ID, filter and sort to list just the beetles you want to see. To split them up by shelf or room, use Groups.

• Search by beetle ID

  Type a beetle ID into the My beetles search field to find it right away. The QR button in the search field scans a beetle label’s QR code to open that beetle.

• Filter

  Filter by species, stage, sex or listing. You can also choose “Only beetles with a food change due soon or now”, and whether to include deceased and transferred beetles.

• Sort

  Sort them the way you want: “Food change due (soonest first)”, “Larva weight (heaviest first)”, “Adult length (largest first)”, “Eclosion date (newest first)” and more.

• Groups

  Organize your beetles into groups that match where you actually keep them, like a breeding room, a shelf or a greenhouse.

Never miss a food change or harvest

Set a food change interval for each species, and beetles nearing their due date show “Food change in X days”, while beetles past it show “Food change needed”. The Schedule calendar shows your food changes and harvests month by month.

• Food change alerts

  Set the days until a food change for each of L1, L2 and L3. When you add a beetle, its species gets an interval automatically, which you can change in “Food change alert settings”.

• Schedule calendar

  Food change due dates and target harvest dates on a monthly calendar. Tap an entry to open that beetle or breeding memo.

• Notifications

  Notifications arrive in the iPhone and Android apps at the time you set (once a day at most). Choose “Start reminders” and “Notification time” in “Reminder settings”.

Bloodlines and offspring, all in a breeding memo

Make a breeding memo for each pair (or mated female) and keep everything from the laying set and harvest to registering the next generation in one place. Enter the laying set date and the days until harvest, and you’ll get a reminder as the harvest approaches.

• Harvest log

  Record how many eggs and larvae you harvested on the day. You can also note whether you continued the laying set with the same female or ended it.

• Register offspring

  Register harvested eggs and larvae as beetles all at once, just by entering how many. They inherit the parents’ info, and beetle IDs are assigned automatically as “prefix-harvest date-number”.

• Offspring bloodline and generation

  Set the next generation’s bloodline name, generation and description in the memo ahead of time.

Connect with fellow breeders

Beetles you make public appear in “Community beetles”. See how other breeders’ beetles are growing and where their bloodlines come from, and follow the breeders who catch your eye to check on them all in “Following”.

• Likes

  Like the beetles you love. You’ll get a notification when one of your beetles gets a like or someone follows you.

• Profile

  The beetles you keep are counted by species and shown in charts for adults and larvae. Your public beetles and your Raise & Battle Game card are on the same page, and you can share it with a link.

• Follow

  Follow the breeders who catch your eye, and visit their profiles anytime from your “Following” and “Followers” lists.

• My QR

  When you meet breeders at an event or elsewhere, show each other your QR codes with “Add friend” and follow on the spot.

You can report inappropriate accounts from the menu on their profile.

A Raise & Battle Game that starts with an egg

On KKLOG’s “Game” tab, raise a virtual, game-only beetle from an egg, then take on the forest guardians with Rock, Scissors, Paper. You can also battle friends who follow you back, and the beetles you raise appear in the length rankings for each species.

• 
  Egg
• 
  Larva
• 
  Pupa
• 
  Adult

The beetles in the game are virtual and exist only in the game. No real beetles are made to fight.

See how it’s doing without opening the app

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets on iPhone and iPad, and Apple Watch, show how your Raise & Battle Game beetle is doing at a glance. On Apple Watch, you can give care right there, too.

Widgets and Apple Watch work with the iPhone and iPad app. The Apple Watch app needs KKLOG on your iPhone.
