## What is AI Plant Guide?

AI Plant Guide suggests the name of a houseplant from your photo, and shows care basics alongside it. The AI runs entirely on your device — photos and results are never sent anywhere.

FROM A PHOTO TO A NAME
- Take a photo or pick one from your album, and the on-device AI suggests candidate names
- Confidence is shown only as two words, "likely" and "candidate" — no percentages
- When it cannot suggest a confident candidate, it shows the search guide instead of a guess

TOXICITY CAUTION
- This guide includes some toxic species
- If a toxic species may be among the candidates, the app switches from the normal candidate view to a caution notice — this is an AI estimate, not a confirmed identification
- When a caution appears, it tells you not to put the plant in your mouth and to avoid touching its sap
- Never use this app to judge whether a plant is edible or safe

CARE BASICS
- Watering and light guidelines are shown for each species
- One-time premium unlocks repotting and feeding guidelines too

A GUIDE WORTH READING
- 179 species, written from scratch in English and Japanese
- Size, season, where to find it, identifying features, ecology, a piece of trivia, and a word from Sakura
- Every page lists its sources
- The guide can be read without taking a single photo

BUILT TO BE TRUSTED
- The AI runs on your device. Photos and results are never sent anywhere
- No account required
- No ads
- Browsing the guide and identifying plants are free, without limits

ONE-TIME PREMIUM
- Not a subscription. A single payment unlocks detailed repotting and feeding guidelines
- Changing phones? "Restore purchase" brings it back
