Keep track of things
that change.
Chicken numbers, feed bought, tractor hours, mileage, running costs. Record them in your own tables, on your phone or the web, and let ThingzSafe remind you when a reading is due.
See what you can trackHow it worksHow it works
Build a table. Add readings. Look back.
Build your own table
Choose a Site, Area or Thing, name your table and add the columns you need: text, numbers, dates, choices, tick boxes or costs.
Add readings your way
Type a row when you have something to record. Or let ThingzSafe add a dated row every day, month, quarter or year.
Get reminded, then look back
When a reading is due you get a reminder. Sort the table, export it to a spreadsheet, or ask ChatGPT to compare the figures.
Try tracking
Anything you would otherwise keep in a notebook.
Livestock and feed
Monthly chicken or lamb counts next to the feed you bought, so you can compare them month by month.
Machine hours
Keep a running total of tractor, mower or generator hours, with a meter column.
Mileage and running costs
Log a vehicle’s mileage, fuel and repairs in one place, with the currency you use.
Regular checks
A daily, monthly or yearly reading for anything you need to check on a regular schedule, with a reminder when it is due.
Stock and spending
Record what you bought and spent over time against a Site, Area or Thing, including its Parts and Contents.
Anything of your own
Your table, your columns. Add up to 50 columns and name them whatever suits your kind of inventory.
Scheduled readings
Never forget a reading again.
Pick a date column and a schedule, and ThingzSafe adds a dated, empty row when it is due.
Daily
A new row every day.
Monthly
A new row on the first of each month.
Quarterly
1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October.
Yearly
A new row each 1 January.
Open the reminder, type the figures, tick Reading complete and save. If you miss some, ThingzSafe catches up and sets one grouped reminder instead of one for every missed reading.
Columns that understand your figures
The right type for every column.
- Text for notes and observations.
- Number for counts, weights, mileage and hours, with your own units.
- Date picked from a calendar.
- Choice from a list you write yourself.
- Checkbox for yes or no.
- Currency for costs and payments.
Tell ThingzSafe whether a number is a reading (a snapshot, like today’s count), a quantity (added up over time, like feed bought) or a meter (a running total, like hours). Reports then read your figures the right way.
Get more from your records
Take it into a spreadsheet, or just ask.
Export to CSV
Save or share any table for a spreadsheet. Your units appear in the column headings.
Ask ChatGPT
“Compare chicken numbers with feed purchased each month.” ChatGPT shows any change it plans to make and asks first. See ChatGPT and API.
Reporting API
An authorised reporting API provides table definitions and rows for your own tools.
Safe by design
Your records stay in your control.
- Each row syncs separately, so two people editing different rows do not overwrite each other.
- If someone else changed a row first, you are asked how to proceed instead of being overwritten.
- Deleting a table asks you to confirm.
- If you move from Pro to Household, your existing tables stay readable and exportable.
Good to know

- Scheduled rows reach your phone after it syncs
Good questions
Before you start
Do I need Pro?
Yes. Creating and editing tables, and scheduled rows, are included with Pro. On a Household plan you can still read and export tables that already exist.
Can I use it on my computer?
Yes. Tables work on Android and in the web app.
What happens if I stop paying for Pro?
Your tables stay readable and exportable on an active Household plan. If all paid cloud access ends, the normal cloud-access rules apply, and data already downloaded to your Android device stays there.
Can I reuse a table I have already built?
Yes. Start a new table based on another one. The columns are copied into a new, separate table. Readings and reminders are not copied.
Pro: record it, schedule it, look back on it.
Data tables are included with ThingzSafe Pro, alongside Alexa, AI recognition and valuations, loans and sale records.
