Group management
Organise animals into colonies, shelters, households, or any custom group. Each group has its own profile, optional GPS location, and a combined timeline that shows every entry from the group and all its members in one place.
Full medical history
Record every vet visit with diagnosis, treatment notes, the attending clinic and staff member, and a next-appointment date that automatically shows up in the calendar. Keep a complete, searchable health record for each animal.
Prescription tracking
Attach prescriptions to each medical visit. Define the drug, dose, frequency (every 2 h to every 48 h), and duration. Kinkeep generates individual dose events in the calendar so you never miss a pill.
Interactive calendar
A unified calendar aggregates custom events, upcoming vet appointments, and active prescription schedules across all your groups. Filter by group or by individual member to focus on what matters right now.
Weight & trend tracking
Log weight measurements over time and instantly see whether an animal is gaining, losing, or stable compared to the previous record. Supports kg, g, and lb.
Rich timeline
Every member and group has a chronological timeline of all entries — medical visits, weight logs, notes, photos, and events. Filter by type to find exactly what you need in seconds.
Photo & media attachments
Attach photos and files to any entry or member profile. Document wounds, track physical progress after surgery, or simply keep a photo record of each animal over time.
Multi-user organisations
Multiple volunteers can share the same Kinkeep instance under a single organisation. Each organisation has its own name, logo, registration number, and user list — ideal for NGOs and shelters.
Free & open source
Kinkeep is free forever and open source under the MIT licence. Self-host it with a single podman compose up command, or use the hosted version — no subscription, no ads, no lock-in.
