Release Notes

Every update to Farmers Arcane, newest first. Most of it starts with something one of you sent me.

Latest · Version 1.7.0 · October 11, 2026

Treatments, photos, and a tidier flock

This one is mostly you. Nearly everything below started as a note sent through the "Report a bug" button — thank you for every one of them. Here's what changed.

New

  • A page for every treatment

    Tap any treatment — from the Health tab or a bird's profile — to see the whole course, add notes as it goes, record how it turned out, and mark it complete. Finishing early restarts the withdrawal period from that day, and a whole-flock treatment closes for every bird at once.

  • Active treatments on your dashboard

    Each flock card now shows who is being treated, with what, and which day of the course you are on.

  • Photos on history events

    Add a photo when you log an event — first egg, a new roost, a bumblefoot check — and tap it later to see it full size.

  • Brooder heat guide

    If a flock has chicks under eight weeks old, its dashboard card suggests a brooder temperature for their age and lets you know when the heat can usually come off.

  • Coop space check

    Add your coop and run square footage in Settings → Shelter, and your dashboard will quietly flag a flock that's getting tight. Nothing shows until you enter a size.

  • Better notes in the Apothecary

    Long instructions are easier to read: start a line with "- " for a bullet or "1. " for a step, and wrap words in **double asterisks** for bold. Medications also have a spot for the manufacturer's website.

Improved

  • Flock counts that add up

    Birds you've marked deceased, rehomed, sold, or culled no longer count toward a flock's total. They're still there under "Show archived birds" whenever you want them.

  • Bird and laying totals on every flock

    The top of each flock page now shows how many birds are in it and how many are laying.

  • Accurate integration counts

    A bird that's archived or sitting in the recycle bin no longer counts toward "birds integrating."

  • Easier on the eyes in dark mode

    A cream version of the logo for dark backgrounds, and a clearer highlight on whichever field you are typing in.

  • Delete account moved to the bottom of Settings

    It's still there when you need it, just no longer the first thing you see.

Fixed

  • "Send it" was hidden on iPhone

    The bottom menu could cover the button on the "Report a bug" form. It now opens above everything.

Behind the scenes

  • Tighter photo security

    Every photo upload is checked before it is stored, and each account can only ever reach its own photos.

Something you wish Farmers Arcane did? Use “Report a bug or request a feature” at the bottom of any page in the app — I read every one.
