The aim of this study was to develop a technological tool in the form of a mobile application that provides functionalities for the easy calculation of reproductive and productive efficiency indices. This tool aims to assist breeders, technicians, and students of agricultural sciences in decision-making for the challenges faced in cattle production systems. The application was developed using the Android Studio development environment and the Dart programming language framework known as Flutter. The application's graphical interface follows Google guidelines in the Material Design documentation. The tool will provide a practical way to calculate recognized indexes of productive efficiency of cow-calf systems and provide information such as goals and management tips to help users achieve better results. The impact of the developed product is its use as an information platform, facilitating decision-making in the area of beef cattle production and as an efficient means of disseminating technologies generated by research institutions and popularizing science. Thus, the application is an accessible and comprehensible tool, providing a means of evaluating the technologies and management practices adopted in beef cattle farms.
