Where can I download ApiNote?
ApiNote is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store, and for Android devices on Google Play.

What can I record for each hive?
You can keep inspections, queen records, treatments, feedings, honey harvests, pollen harvests, mite washes, photos, weights, and connected tasks.
Does the AI voice assistant work offline?
No. Voice transcription and analysis require an internet connection. Your proposed records are still shown for review before they are saved.
Can I export my records?
Yes. Choose the datasets you want and export them as CSV files, including hive records, inspections, feedings, harvests, treatments, queens, tasks and finances.
