AlpacaKeepAlpacaKeep is organized around a main menu down the side (or along the bottom on your phone). Here is what each part does, so you can find your way around fast.
The main menu
In order, the menu items are:
- Dashboard. Your home screen, a quick look at what needs attention.
- Animals. Your whole herd. Add, view, and edit each animal.
- Events. Log things to a group of animals at once, like a vaccination day.
- Tasks. Your to-do list, including jobs that repeat.
- Breeding. Pregnancies, mating plans, and births.
- Fiber. Fleece lab reports and shearing across the farm.
- Finance. Income and expenses. This only shows for the Owner and Co-Owner.
- Reports. Herd-wide lists you check weekly, like weight loss.
- Marketplace. List your animals for sale and manage buyer inquiries.
- Settings. Your farm setup, team, and data tools.
Good to know. The Finance menu item is hidden from Farmhands and Viewers. Only the Owner and Co-Owner can see money.
What the Dashboard shows
The Dashboard is your at-a-glance screen. It pulls together cards for the things that need you: overdue Tasks, Withdrawals ending soon, Births in watch (dams getting close to term), Weight loss flags, and Documents expiring. There is also a Recent activity card at the bottom. Most cards hide themselves when there is nothing to show, so a quiet Dashboard is a good sign.

On your phone
On a small screen the menu moves to a bar across the bottom. You get quick tabs for Animals, Events, and Tasks, plus a More button that holds everything else. The More button shows a small badge when something needs your attention.
Tip. Each animal has its own profile with six tabs (Overview, Health, Breeding, Fiber, Records, Finance). Those are explained in their own article.
