## What is Auxine?

Auxine is a notebook for your plants. Each plant has its own page, with its species, its room, its photos and the history of its care. The home screen lists the waterings due today and over the coming days. No subscription, no account, no ads.

SPECIES RECOGNITION, OFFLINE

Photograph the plant to get the name of its species. The recognition model, called Iris, is installed with the app. The photo therefore never leaves the phone, and the result arrives without a network. Several suggestions are shown, ranked by probability. Two photos of the same plant improve the result considerably.

DIAGNOSIS FROM A PHOTO

Brown leaves, webbing, soil that stays wet? Photograph the problem to get several possible causes, ranked by probability, with the corrective steps. The base holds more than 200 disorders, pests and diseases. Diagnosis requires a connection.

CARE GUIDE PER SPECIES

Watering frequency in summer and in winter, light, fertiliser, repotting, air humidity, temperature, propagation, common problems, toxicity for pets and children... For a species missing from the catalogue, the guide for its genus or its family applies.

CARE DUE TODAY

The home screen lists the care due today and over the coming days, with the weather for your town. One tap logs a watering. Reminders by notification, at the time of your choice.

HISTORY AND PHOTOS

Every care task, photo and measurement is recorded on the plant's page. Two photos can be compared side by side to see the change. Height is tracked on a curve.

ROOMS, CALENDAR, INVENTORY

Plants are sorted by room or by outdoor spot. Calendar of upcoming care, task list, inventory of pots, soils and fertilisers.

IPHONE AND IPAD

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with the care due today. Shortcuts from a long press on the icon. Reading of an Apple Home temperature or humidity sensor to adjust the advice. Support for Dynamic Type, bold text and increased contrast.

FREE

Every feature is available. No subscription, no limit on plants or photos, no advertising, no compulsory account. A one-off purchase supports development without unlocking anything.

DATA

Plants, photos and history are stored on the phone. Recognition works offline. The Pl@ntNet fallback is optional and can be turned off in the settings. For diagnosis from a photo, the image is analysed at Infomaniak, a Swiss host. No tracking. The account is used only to share a garden between several people.

SOURCES

Scientific and common names from GBIF and Wikidata. Recognition model trained on images under CC0, CC BY and CC BY-SA licences. Weather supplied by Open-Meteo.

Available in French, English, German and Italian.

Download Auxine to know each morning which plants to water.
