Offline-first · Garden module
Plan your garden. Feed your family, year-round.
MyAcres is a portable, offline-first app for running the homestead — a tool you grow over time, starting with the garden. It records and visualizes what you plant so you can be strategic about timing, space, and harvest.

What it's for
The record-keeping and visibility to grow food on purpose.
A garden is easy to start and hard to keep track of. When did you plant that bed? What's ready in three weeks? Where are the gaps that leave you without fresh produce?
MyAcres holds the plan — your crops, your spaces, your plantings — and turns it into a picture of the season, so timing and harvest become something you can see and steer, not just remember.
How it works
Four steps, and a file that's yours at the end.
- 01
Open it
No sign-up, no install. The app opens to an empty homestead, ready to use on your own machine.
- 02
Build your crop library
Add the produce you grow, with your own timing and spacing. This is where your gardening knowledge lives.
- 03
Lay out your spaces
Draw and arrange your beds on the grid, then record plantings — a crop, in a space, on a date.
- 04
Save your file
Everything writes to a single .homestead file you own. Back it up, move it between devices, reopen it anytime.
The Garden module
Five views over one plan.
A visual, derived overview of the season: a garden timeline, what's coming up next, a harvest-coverage strip, and summary stats. Read-only — it reflects your data, it doesn't prescribe.
An interactive dot-grid canvas. Draw, arrange, and copy your growing spaces, see plantings as crop-colored density dots, and scrub a date across the season to watch beds fill and empty.
Your crop library. Build produce-type profiles with the timing, spacing, light, and season details you actually use — the knowledge you bring to the garden, in one place.
The list of your growing areas — beds, rows, containers, plots. Define them once and reuse them everywhere you plan and plant.
A crop in a space on a date. MyAcres projects the schedule forward — germination, transplant, maturity, harvest — and checks how well it fits the space.
How it's built
A tool, not an oracle
MyAcres records and visualizes what you enter. It won't tell you when to plant or bundle a generic calendar — you bring the knowledge, it gives you the clarity.
Your data, one file
No database and no account. Your whole homestead lives in a portable .homestead file that you own, control, and can back up however you like.
Offline-first
Open a URL and it just works — on your machine, with no server required. Install it as an app and it runs without a connection.
Open it and start your season.
It's ready the moment you click — nothing to sign up for.
