First Run

A setup wizard guides you through initial configuration:

  1. Tree count -- Enter the number of trees you plan to tap.
  2. Tracking preferences -- Choose what to track (sap collection, boil sessions, or both).
  3. Weather setup -- Enter your location and choose a weather provider.

Location Entry

The app accepts:

  • GPS coordinates (auto-detected)
  • US zip codes
  • Canadian postal codes
  • City names

Adding Trees

Add trees with species and location. The species dropdown shows reference Brix values for common maple species.

Installing Taps

After adding trees, install one or more taps per tree. Each tap tracks its own installation date, pull date, and collection volumes.
