OneRack
RoostScan by OneRack is an AI-powered chicken identifier app that instantly detects chicken breeds from a photo, giving farmers, poultry enthusiasts, and agritech users a fast, privacy-first solution
What is OneRack?
RoostScan is a mobile app that uses artificial intelligence to identify chicken breeds from photographs. You take a photo of a chicken, and the app analyses the image to recognise the breed. The tool is designed for farmers managing flocks, smallholders keeping backyard chickens, and people working in agricultural technology who need quick, accurate breed identification in the field. The app prioritises privacy by processing images locally on your device rather than sending them to distant servers. This means your photos stay on your phone. It works on both iOS and Android, making it accessible whether you use an Apple or Android device. The freemium pricing model lets you try the core identification feature at no cost. This makes it a practical option for hobbyists and professionals alike who want to test whether the tool suits their needs before committing to a paid plan.
