Question 1

Does Gatepost work without cell service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The mobile app is built offline-first. Your schedule, client profiles, and horse records are available with zero signal — in the barn aisle, in the indoor, anywhere. Changes sync automatically when you're back online.

Question 2

Can it handle a barn with horses owned by different clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Barns are first-class in Gatepost: horses belong to their owners but live at a barn, so one stop can cover several clients' horses — each invoiced to the right owner.

Question 3

What does a farrier app need to do?

Accepted Answer

Four things, in the order a shoeing day happens: know which horses are due, put the day's barns in a sensible driving order, keep each horse's history and photos in your pocket, and get you invoiced and paid before you leave the driveway. Gatepost does all four in one app — plus reminder texts, mileage, and inventory — instead of a calendar, a maps app, a notes app, and an invoicing app stitched together.

Question 4

Is Gatepost a free farrier app?

Accepted Answer

No — Gatepost is a flat $79/month for your whole business, with unlimited horses, clients, and invoices and no per-seat or per-appointment fees. Free farrier apps are usually funded by selling you something else; Gatepost is funded by farriers who use it, which is why the roadmap follows what working farriers ask for.

Question 5

How do shoeing cycles work?

Accepted Answer

Each horse gets its own visit interval (6 weeks by default, adjustable per horse) and Gatepost tells you who's due. One-time overrides handle the horse that needs to be seen early without changing its cycle.

Question 6

How does early access work?

Accepted Answer

Submit a request with your name and email. We review applications and reach out when your spot is ready. Beta participants get full access to all features and can provide feedback that shapes the final product.

Question 7

What devices does it work on?

Accepted Answer

Gatepost is available as a web app (any browser), a native iPhone app, and a native iPad app. All three stay in sync with your account.

Question 8

Does it work on Android?

Accepted Answer

Not yet — iOS and web first, Android is on the roadmap.

Question 9

I have multiple people on my team. Can we all use one account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gatepost supports multi-user teams. The account owner is an admin and can invite staff. Each team member has their own schedule, clients, and invoices. $79/month covers teams of up to 5 — no per-seat fees. Need a bigger team? Contact us.

Question 10

Is there a per-appointment fee?

Accepted Answer

No. Flat $79/month — unlimited clients, horses, appointments, invoices, and users. That's it.

Question 11

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel from the billing settings in your account. No cancellation fees, no minimum commitment.
