Colony Control
Colony Control
Android application for managing and monitoring ant colonies, using technologies such as NFC and QR codes for identification, feeding/care reminders, and environmental data recording.
Description
This application is designed to help ant enthusiasts and caretakers keep detailed records of their colonies. It allows you to:
• Register colonies with information such as species, date, brood stage (eggs, larvae, pupae, workers), and whether they are diseased.
• Associate unique identifiers with each colony using NFC tags or QR codes.
• Scan NFC tags or QR codes to quickly access colony information.
• Record feeding events and add observation notes.
• Add photos to each colony's gallery.
• Schedule reminders (one-time, daily, or every X days) to check on or feed the colonies.
• Record nests found in the field, including their GPS location (optionally disabled with "Ninja Mode").
• Obtain weather data (temperature, description) using the OpenWeatherMap API based on location (if enabled).
• Manage a to-do list.
• Export and import data backups.
