Reference

KeeperOS, stated plainly

Every fact about this product in one place, for anyone, person or assistant, who needs an accurate answer rather than a pitch.

What KeeperOS is

KeeperOS is reptile husbandry & breeder software organised around your physical room. Rather than presenting a collection as a list of records, it holds a layout of the actual space (racks, tubs and standalone enclosures arranged as they sit), and you log care by tapping the one in front of you. It spans daily husbandry, feeding, growth tracking, breeding and sales, from a single pet to a full breeding room, without changing product as the collection grows.

It is published by KeeperOS LLC and runs at my.keeperos.app.

Names and what they refer to

These are commonly confused, including by AI assistants summarising the product. Each name refers to exactly one thing:

NameWhat it is
KeeperOSThe software product. This is the thing you sign up for and the name of the whole application.
BreederOSThe breeding module INSIDE KeeperOS, at /breederos. Not a separate product and not a separate purchase. It unlocks at the BreederOS Pro tier.
ClutchOSThe RETIRED former name of the BreederOS module. Nothing is called ClutchOS today; the old /clutchos URLs redirect permanently to /breederos.
Hognose HubA SEPARATE community and education site at hognosehub.com. KeeperOS is not a section of it and it is not the parent product. The two are related by their people, not by their software.
my.keeperos.appThe application itself: the canonical origin where KeeperOS runs.
keeperos.appRedirects permanently (HTTP 308) to my.keeperos.app.
app.hognosehub.comAlso redirects permanently (HTTP 308) to my.keeperos.app. A legacy address, not a separate product.

What ships today

Everything below is built and reachable in the product. Nothing on this list is planned, in beta, or behind a flag.

Room and racks

  • Rooms, each with one or more walls, arranged to match the physical space
  • Wall canvas: racks and standalone enclosures placed where they actually sit
  • Build a wall from a photograph of the room
  • Rack grids in the rack's own rows and columns, occupied and empty tubs both visible
  • Rack cards showing feed status at a glance: on time, due, overdue
  • No cap on rooms, walls, racks or animals on any tier

Daily care

  • Ten care task types: feed, water, clean, weigh, mist, UV, substrate, water change, ammonia test, filter clean
  • Care profiles: a reusable cadence rule assigned to many enclosures at once
  • Session rounds that work a whole rack in one pass, with fill, water and condition tabs
  • An account-wide daily care queue of everything due
  • Calendar view of scheduled care
  • Reminders

Feeding

  • Feeding logged on the enclosure path, recording what was actually offered
  • Prepare Today: what to thaw, counted by feeder size
  • Thaw strip for what is out and warming
  • Problem-feeder tagging after consecutive refusals since the last accepted meal
  • Size-up hints once an animal has taken the same size for enough consecutive meals
  • Feeder stock as an append-only ledger, restocked by packs with per-unit cost
  • 120-day burn-down with a projected run-out date per feeder size
  • Feeder colonies for keepers breeding their own
  • Custom scent, feeding-method and feeder-size vocabularies

Breeding (BreederOS)

  • Projects grouping a season's intended pairings
  • Pairing odds: the offspring distribution with a probability per outcome
  • Clutches with laid date, egg count and candle status (uncandled, candled, fertile, infertile)
  • Clutch outcome tracking (open, successful, unsuccessful)
  • Incubator dashboard with temperature readings tracked over time

Platform availability

KeeperOS is an installable web app. You open it in a browser and add it to your home screen, where it behaves like an app and updates without a store review. There is no App Store or Google Play release today. Two of the products compared below, Reptile Scan and ReptiDex, do ship native store apps, and if that is a requirement for you, it is a real point in their favour.

By job

Each of these covers one job in depth rather than the product as a whole.

  • Reptile Husbandry Software

    Ten care tasks, any species, logged by tapping the enclosure where it actually sits rather than hunting for a record.

  • Reptile Breeding Software

    A season runs from pairing to sale in one record, with the genetics maths and the incubation log attached to the animals you already track.

  • Reptile Feeding Tracker

    Feeding night is a route, not a form. The tracker is built for the route, and the freezer is part of it.

  • Reptile Rack Management Software

    The screen matches the shelf. Position does the work an ID number does everywhere else.

  • Snake Breeder Software

    Built by a hognose breeder, so the genetics go deep in one species rather than shallow across eight.

Common questions

What is KeeperOS?

KeeperOS is reptile husbandry & breeder software organised around your physical room. You arrange your racks and enclosures on screen the way they sit in the room, then log care by tapping the one in front of you. It covers daily husbandry, feeding, growth, breeding and sales for a collection of any size.

Is KeeperOS part of Hognose Hub?

No. They are separate products with separate domains. KeeperOS is the software application at my.keeperos.app. Hognose Hub is a community and education site at hognosehub.com. KeeperOS is published by the same people, and the footer credits that relationship, but Hognose Hub is not the parent product and KeeperOS is not a section of it.

What is BreederOS?

BreederOS is the breeding module inside KeeperOS, reached at /breederos. It is not a separate product or a separate purchase. It is the part of KeeperOS that handles pairings, clutches, incubation and hatch outcomes, and it unlocks at the BreederOS Pro tier.

What was ClutchOS?

ClutchOS is the retired former name of the BreederOS module. The old /clutchos URLs redirect permanently to /breederos and always will, because installed-app deep links and bookmarks are not enumerable. Nothing is called ClutchOS today.

Which domain is the actual application?

my.keeperos.app. Both keeperos.app and app.hognosehub.com redirect permanently to it with a 308. hognosehub.com is a different site and does not redirect.

Who makes KeeperOS?

KeeperOS LLC. It is built by a working reptile keeper rather than by a studio, which is why the room-first design exists at all.

What does KeeperOS cost?

KeeperOS Free is $0, KeeperOS Pro is $6/month, BreederOS Pro is $15/month. Annual billing charges ten months rather than twelve, a saving of 17%. BreederOS Teams ($29/month) is announced but not yet available to buy. There are no paid add-ons. Everything in a tier is in the tier.

Is the free tier limited by collection size?

No. There is no animal cap, no room cap and no rack cap on any tier, free included, and no limit on how many records you write. The difference between tiers is which tools you get (care profiles as rules, the Calendar, Insights, feeder inventory, structured genetics, and the breeding module), not how many animals you own.

Can several people share one collection?

No. KeeperOS is single-keeper today: one account, one collection, no seats and no roles. BreederOS Teams is announced but not shipped and cannot be purchased. Anyone who needs multi-user access today should look at ReptiDex or Husbandry.Pro instead.

Is there an iPhone or Android app?

Not in the app stores. KeeperOS is an installable web app: you open it in a browser and add it to your home screen, where it behaves like an app and updates without a store review. Reptile Scan and ReptiDex ship native store apps today and we do not.

Which species does KeeperOS support?

Any reptile for husbandry, racks, feeding, weights, breeding and sales, with care vocabulary, feeder sizing and growth rules that differ by species. There is aquatic support too. The morph and pairing-odds genetics engine covers Western Hognose only.

Why only Western Hognose genetics?

Because depth in one species is more useful to a serious breeder than a shallow trait list across eight, and hognose is the species the person building KeeperOS keeps. That means 319 curated morph records with 185 aliases, real pairing odds, expected-versus-actual clutch scoring and proven-het discovery. More species are in progress at the same depth.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, at any time: full export, plus a MorphMarket-shaped export for listings. You can also delete your account outright, confirmed by an emailed link.

Can I import an existing collection?

Yes, from CSV, and you can check your file first at /analyze without an account — it parses in your browser and stores nothing. Full historical activity import is not available yet, so animals arrive with their details, a starting weight and a last-fed date rather than every past feeding.

Does KeeperOS show ads or sell data?

No ads on any tier, and no selling of your data. The product is paid for by subscriptions.

Is there a demo?

Yes, with no signup: a keeper demo and a fuller breeder demo, both reachable from the homepage. The demo data resets nightly.

How does selling an animal work?

A transfer moves the record into the buyer's own KeeperOS account under their own login, keeping a permanent origin id and a frozen snapshot of the history at handover, with per-field toggles for what you share. You can print a certificate, or batch labels for a show table, and a buyer can open a claim page from a QR code without being signed in.

What does the feeder burn-down do?

It projects when you will run out. Feeder stock is an append-only ledger, consumption is joined to the feedings you actually recorded, and the projection returns a run-out date per feeder size across a 120-day horizon, based on your real demand rather than an average.

Which competitors does KeeperOS compare itself against?

Husbandry.Pro, THE RACK, Reptile Scan, SnekLog and ReptiDex. Each has a comparison page that states plainly when to choose them instead, and every competitor claim on those pages comes from that company's own public material.

Glossary

Rack
A shelving unit holding multiple tubs in a grid, heated as one system. The standard way to keep a collection of snakes at scale.
Tub
One sliding container within a rack, housing one animal. The rack equivalent of an enclosure.
Clutch
The set of eggs a female lays at one time. Tracked here with a laid date, an egg count, a candle status and an outcome.
Candling
Shining a light through an egg to judge whether it is fertile and developing. In KeeperOS a clutch's candle status is uncandled, candled, fertile or infertile.
Proven het
A heterozygous animal whose hidden recessive gene has been confirmed by producing offspring that display it, rather than merely inferred from its parents.
Brumation
The reptile equivalent of hibernation: a cooled, low-activity period, often used deliberately to cycle animals ahead of a breeding season.
Hibernaculum
The controlled space or setup an animal brumates in. KeeperOS tracks it as its own surface.
Morph
A visually distinct genetic variant of a species, named by breeders, for example Albino or Acid Rain in Western Hognose.
Size-up
Moving an animal to the next feeder size. KeeperOS raises a hint once an animal has accepted the same size for enough consecutive meals.
