## What is Arbor?

Know any plant, keep it alive.

Arbor identifies plants from a photo, builds a watering schedule for each one, and diagnoses problems — using Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. No account, no uploads, no ads.

IDENTIFY ANY PLANT
Point the camera at a leaf or pick a photo. Arbor names the plant, gives the scientific name, how often to water, the light it needs, and what to watch for. Everyone gets 3 free photo identifications; name lookup is always free.

WATERING THAT FITS EACH PLANT
Every plant gets its own schedule. See what needs water today, water everything due with one tap, and keep a care history of waterings, feedings, pruning and repotting. Premium adds watering reminders.

ASK SIRI, SEARCH FROM THE HOME SCREEN
Your plants appear in Spotlight. Say "Water the Monstera in Arbor" or ask "What needs water in Arbor?" — the answer shows up with one-tap Water buttons.

PLANT DOCTOR
Describe what you see — yellow leaves, brown tips, drooping — or add a photo on supported devices. Plant Doctor explains the likely cause, how urgent it is, and what to do, using your plant's real care history. On iOS 27 it uses the on-device model's deep-reasoning mode.

WEATHER-AWARE FOR OUTDOOR PLANTS
Mark a plant as outdoors and Arbor checks local conditions from Apple Weather: freezing, frost tonight, heat, UV, wind and rain — with a plain-language suggestion for each plant.

SHARE YOUR PLANTS
Turn any plant into a clean picture card to send to friends.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
All AI runs on-device with Apple Intelligence. Photos, notes and diagnoses never leave your phone. No tracking.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. Metric or imperial units.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free: up to 5 plants, name lookup, 3 photo identifications, watering schedules, weather alerts.
Premium: unlimited plants, unlimited photo identification, Plant Doctor, watering reminders.

Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence for identification and Plant Doctor; watering schedules and weather alerts work on every iPhone with iOS 26.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-01

What's New in 1.3.0

• New first-run tour, a Care tab that guides you to your first plant, and no more sample plants on a fresh install.
• Plant Doctor thinks harder on iOS 27: diagnoses use the on-device model's deep-reasoning mode and your plant's real care history (recent waterings and feedings).
• "Diagnose with a Photo" now appears only on devices that can analyze photos on-device, and your notes are protected from injected text in every path.
• Your plants show up in Spotlight and Siri. Search a plant's name from the Home Screen, or say "Water the Monstera in Arbor".
• Share any plant as a picture card.
• Try photo identification for free: everyone gets 3 free photo IDs; name lookup is free for all.
• Metric units everywhere: temperatures and wind now follow your Settings choice.
• Fixed: overdue watering reminders could silently never fire; "Rain likely — skip watering" showed at the slightest chance of rain; the Needs Water list disappeared when reminders were off; "needs water" now means the same thing on every screen.
• Arbor now speaks German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese, and AI answers follow your device language.
