What is an animal profile and how do I create one?

An animal profile is where you collect all information about the animal, and below we explain how to use that feature.

Animal profiles

An animal profile is the digital home for a single animal you have harvested, whether it is a moose, a deer, a wild boar or any other game. This is where the journey from field to plate begins, and everything you do with the animal in the app is brought together in one place.

What you can do with a profile

Each profile gathers everything related to an animal in one place:

  • Basic info - species, image, harvested by, harvest date, municipality, game handling facility, hunting team

  • Aging - link aging processes to the animal

  • Inventory - link cuts and other inventory items to the animal, each with weight, storage location and expiration date

When you print a label with a QR code, the cut is added to your inventory and linked - together with the animal it comes from - to the QR code. If you scan the QR code later, you are taken directly to the cut and its animal profile, so you always know exactly what is on your plate and where it comes from.

Share what’s on the label

Anyone can scan the QR code on a cut, even those who don’t have the Tendy app - they will be taken to a webpage showing the details of the cut. Perfect for sharing meat with friends, family or customers and giving them the full story behind what they are eating.

You decide what is shared. Each animal profile has its own Sharing settings, divided into four groups that you can control individually:

  • About the animal - harvest date, game handling facility, municipality, harvested by

  • Extra info - serial number, live weight, carcass weight

  • Safety information - processed by, inspected by, lead-free bullet

  • Aging - aging time, temperature

Everything you leave turned off remains private to you and your hunting team.

Free up space when you reach the limit

When you reach the limit for active profiles, you have two ways to free up a slot:

  • Archive (Premium) - the profile and its cuts are moved out of the active list and become read-only, but the history remains available to review. The slot is freed so you can add a new animal.

  • Delete (Free or Premium) - permanently removes the profile from your account.

Archiving is only available on Premium because it allows you to keep the history while freeing up space. On Free, you can delete to make space, or upgrade to Premium to archive instead.

Inventory

The inventory is your digital freezer log. It keeps track of everything you have stored - meat cuts, fish, mushrooms, berries and more - so you always know what is in your freezer or pantry, where it is stored and how long it will last.

What you can do

Each inventory item has its own:

  • Category - game cuts, meat cuts, fish, mushrooms, berries or custom items

  • Weight, storage location and expiration date

  • Printable label with QR code - choose one of our label templates or design your own, print and attach to the package

  • Optional link to an animal profile - for cuts from an animal you have registered

It is when you print a label containing a QR code that the item is added to your inventory and linked to the code. If you scan the QR code later, the item is found and you are taken directly to its details - and for cuts linked to an animal profile, you can access the full traceability history behind it. (Sharing for these is controlled by the animal profile’s sharing settings - see the Animal Profiles guide.)

Storage locations

Storage locations are simply named places where you store your items - for example "Main freezer", "Basement shelf 2" or "Game cooler". Each item belongs to a location. Add as many as you like.

In stock / Consumed

Each item is either In stock or Consumed. Mark something as Consumed when you have eaten or used it up - it remains in your history but is removed from your active list.

Free up space when you reach the limit

Some ways to free up space:

  • Mark as Consumed (Premium) - frees up space and keeps the item in your history

  • Archive (Premium) - moves the item out of the active list but allows you to review it later

  • Delete (Free or Premium) - permanently removes the item

On Free, both in-stock and consumed items count toward your limit until you delete them, so deletion is the only way to free up space. Upgrade to Premium to mark items as Consumed or archive them instead.
