KennelOS Lite · Free forever
A real record keeper, at no cost, for a small program
Lite is the whole KennelOS core — dogs, pedigrees, pairings, litters, puppies, sales and money — sized for a hobby or starting program: up to 6 adult dogs and 2 litters. No trial clock, no card, no account.
What's included
Everything below is in the free download. It isn't a preview of the paid app — it's the same core, running the same way.

The limits, stated plainly
We'd rather you knew exactly where the edges are before you start typing.
6 adult dogs, 2 litters
The dog count is living adult dogs you own or co-own. Puppies don't count until they mature. A dog that has left your program doesn't count. A deceased dog doesn't count — and all of their records stay exactly where they are.
Pairings, puppies, sales, expenses and history events are unlimited in Lite.
What happens when you hit it
Adding a seventh adult dog, or a third litter, stops with a friendly prompt that offers the upgrade — and offers to export your backup on the way. Nothing you already entered is ever locked, hidden or taken away.
The same prompt appears when a puppy you kept grows up into an adult stage while you're at the limit.
What's not in Lite
These live in Pro. They're genuinely absent from the Lite download — not hidden behind a lock.
- A Contacts section (buyers, vets, co-owners, partners)
- Contracts beyond a logged sale
- Stud services, incoming and outgoing
- External and leased dogs
- Reports — litters, placements, health tests, finances
- Invoices, receipts and printable puppy records
- Documents and file storage
- Companion share-out and the Furever hand-off link
- Feeding schedules and the Assistant
Curious what they look like? The live demo has all of it, already populated.
Ready when you are
Lite is a web page. Opening it is the whole install — then it works offline like any other app.
