Overview of the app
Apiarist — Beekeeper Assistant is a free iPhone application created by Oleg Soloviev to help hobbyists and professional beekeepers manage their apiaries and hives. The tool is built to record and organize inspections, harvests, and general hive records without limits on the number of entries.
Offline use and data storage
One of the app’s strengths is full offline functionality: it does not rely on an internet connection and keeps all records locally on the device. That makes it practical for fieldwork in remote apiaries or places with little to no mobile coverage.
Core tools and capabilities
- Task scheduling and reminders to keep routine hive work on track
- Photo capture and storage for visual records of hives, inspections, and apiary sites
- Simple accounting to log income and expenses from beekeeping activities
- Export and import options to move or back up data between devices or share with collaborators
- Unlimited tracking of apiaries, individual hives, inspections, and honey harvests
- Dashboard views with charts and flexible settings for customizing the app to your workflow
Data organization and customization
The app includes a selection of terminology dictionaries and adjustable preferences so you can tailor labels, units, and displayed fields to your regional practices. Visual charts on the dashboard help you monitor trends over time.

Other options
If you want to compare alternatives, BalanceMe — Health & Self Care (free) is sometimes suggested as another lifestyle app, though it focuses on personal wellness rather than apiary management.
