Reptiles · Plants · Aquatics · Plus everything else

Welfare as
architecture.

Let ’em know you keep like a pro.First animal or fiftieth, start with the habits pros spent years getting right.

Offline-first record-keeping and pedigree software for reptile, plant, and aquatic collections.

What it holds

The record without the work.

Murphy makes responsible keeping fun.

Feedings and weights. Health and meds. Enrichment and training. Enclosures and water quality. Clutches, pairings and pedigrees.

When the vet asks what she last ate and whether she refused, the answer is right there. Export it to PDF on the spot.

What it gives back

The morning at a glance.

Everything you log comes back as something you can use.

Every feeding, weight, water change and vet note, in one place. No black hole of spreadsheets.

Today shows what is due, worked out from your records and the cadences you set. Dashboards turn months of entries into a trend. Home shows one thing worth doing, and it changes with the day.

How Murphy is different

What no other keeper app does.

Reptiles, feeder colonies, reefs, plants and hatcheries, all on one record model.

Institutional-grade records, research-grade data. Every entry carries who, when and where it came from, and nothing is inferred and written as if you had said it. The same discipline an institution's registrar works under, for your collection of one or one thousand. A record is only worth what it can prove later, to a vet, a buyer, a studbook, or you in five years.

Counts say how sure they are. 400 is counted. ~400 is estimated. The ~ follows the number into every total and report, so a guess never becomes a fact.

Pedigrees say what they rest on. Every ancestor is recorded, asserted or unknown, right on the certificate. Murphy records how well an identity is known and who said so. It never certifies it.

Your animals are your business, not ours. We are curious, like any keeper, but we built Murphy so that we never hold your records. They live on your phone. If you turn Keep It Safe on, only what you direct is sent, field by field, and some things never leave at all: where your animal came from, your private lists. What we never receive, we can never hand over to anyone.

No guessing. Every number is math on records you entered. Murphy was built with AI but does not run on it. Where a value would be a guess, it leaves it blank and says so.

One theory of care that works for all living things.

Murphy breaks the care of living things down to its most basic components, and they hold for anything alive. Every Murphy program grows from that shared origin. From plants to panthers and coral to corrals, every new Murphy program adds new capabilities to this shared narrative of life.

Questions

Before you install.

Is Murphy free?

Yes. The free tier keeps full records for your collection on your device, with no animal or plant limit and no time limit. Paid tiers add syncing across your devices. One subscription covers every Murphy program.

Is Murphy worth it for just one pet?

Yes. Murphy is free with no animal limit, so one chameleon costs the same as two hundred snakes: nothing. Log feedings, weights, sheds and health for a single animal. Breeding and pedigree tools are there when you need them.

Does Murphy need Wi-Fi or a connection?

No. Murphy is offline-first. Records are written to your device and stay readable with no connection, no account and no subscription. Syncing is optional and additive; it is never a precondition for reading your own records.

Does Murphy sync across my phone, tablet and computer?

Yes. Keep It Safe syncs your records across every device you sign in on, and lets two people or two locations share one collection. It is optional: without it, everything still works on one device.

Does Murphy use AI?

Murphy was built with AI assistance. It does not run on AI. There is no model in the product and no inference at runtime. Every number on screen is arithmetic over records you entered and can be traced back to them. Nothing is generated, guessed or predicted.

Who can see my data?

On the free tier, nobody. Your records are on your device and are not transmitted anywhere. If you turn on syncing, they are stored in your own account so your other devices can read them. Murphy does not sell data and does not share it with third parties.

What devices does Murphy run on?

Any modern browser, and it installs to the home screen on iPhone, iPad and Android as an app. There is nothing to download from an app store.

What happens if I switch phones?

Every Murphy program exports a full backup file you can restore onto the new device. If you have syncing turned on, signing in on the new phone brings your records down without a backup file at all.

Can Murphy identify a species or diagnose an illness from a photo?

No, and it will not. Murphy is record-keeping software. It does not identify species, diagnose illness, verify genetics or replace a veterinarian. Where a value would have to be guessed, Murphy abstains and says so.
