ChloroFile is a grow journal that keeps the whole record of a plant, from the day it breaks soil to the jar it ends up in. Most plant apps are a notes field with a leaf icon. This one is built around how a grow actually runs: the things you check daily are one tap away, and the things you only care about at harvest stay out of the way until then. THE WHOLE LIFE OF A PLANT Track each plant through germination, seedling, vegetative, flowering, harvest and curing. ChloroFile keeps the date of every stage change, so the timeline builds itself and you can see exactly how long that phenotype spent in veg without trying to remember. Log what you measure: temperature, humidity, pH, EC, water, height, and notes in your own words. Add photos to any entry and watch a plant fill out week by week. A REFERENCE THAT COMES WITH THE APP 12,667 varieties from 333 breeders and seed banks, on the device, with no account and no connection required. Pick one when you add a plant and it fills in type, seed type, flowering time, potency and lineage where they are known. Many records also carry parent varieties, grow traits, reported effects, and for 593 of them, cannabinoid results from publicly published lab samples, kept clearly apart from what the breeder claims. Browse by type, by autoflowering, by flowering time, or by breeder, and search the whole catalog by name. ENVIRONMENTS AND VPD Describe your tents and rooms once, with their equipment, and attach plants to them. Readings then belong to a space rather than floating loose. VPD is calculated from leaf temperature rather than air temperature, with an offset you set to match your lights, so the numbers line up with the target ranges you find published rather than being quietly wrong under LED. HARVEST AND YIELD Record wet and dry weight and keep them attached to the plant that produced them, alongside the stage lengths it took to get there. Over a few runs that becomes the only honest answer to whether a change actually helped. IT WORKS OFFLINE, AND IT IS YOURS Every feature works with no account and no connection. Nothing leaves the device unless you sign in, and photos never leave at all. Sign in with Apple if you want a backup and want your plants in step across devices. Signing out leaves your grows where they are. Deleting your account removes what was synced and the copies on the device, and it says so plainly before you do it. Export everything as CSV whenever you like: a row for every plant with its stage lengths and yield, and a row for every log. Free, always, and it never needs an account. FREE AND PRO Free covers a single tent properly: 4 active plants, 10 recent archives, 1 environment, and temperature charts. ChloroFile Pro removes the caps: unlimited plants, your whole history rather than the last 10, unlimited environments, and every metric charted rather than temperature alone. All 12,667 varieties are on both plans, with unlimited logs, photos and reminders. Nothing about the reference data is behind the subscription. Pro is $3.99 per month or $24.99 per year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings. ChloroFile is a record-keeping tool for growers cultivating legally where they live. It does not sell, supply or source anything, and it is not a substitute for knowing the law where you are.

ChloroFile is a grow journal designed to track every stage of a plant's life, from breaking soil to harvest. It allows users to log detailed metrics, add photos, and access a comprehensive database of plant varieties. ### Does ChloroFile work offline? Yes, every feature of ChloroFile works without an account or internet connection. Your data and photos remain on your device unless you choose to sync them. ### How does ChloroFile handle plant varieties? ChloroFile includes 12,667 varieties from 333 breeders, accessible offline. When you add a plant, it can automatically fill in details like type, flowering time, and potency. ### What kind of data can I log with ChloroFile? You can log temperature, humidity, pH, EC, water, height, and custom notes. You can also add photos to any entry to visually track plant growth. ### What are the differences between the free and Pro versions of ChloroFile? The free version is limited to one tent, 4 active plants, 10 recent archives, and temperature charts. ChloroFile Pro removes these caps, offering unlimited plants, full history, unlimited environments, and all metrics charted. ### Can I export my data from ChloroFile? Yes, you can export all your data as CSV files at any time. This includes rows for each plant's stage lengths and yield, and rows for every log entry. ### How is VPD calculated in ChloroFile? VPD is calculated using leaf temperature with a user-set offset to match your lights. This ensures the numbers align with published target ranges, especially under LED lighting. ### Is ChloroFile suitable for beginners? Yes, while it offers advanced features, its intuitive design focuses on making daily checks easily accessible. The extensive reference database also aids users in identifying and understanding different plant varieties. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.5 — 2026-09-07 Fixed: tapping a variety in Will it finish did nothing. The list was drawing correctly and the rows simply would not open. Worse, pressing Back afterwards opened the variety you had tapped instead of going back, so the one screen that tells you what finishes where was both unusable and confusing about it. Both halves are gone. Thirty-two more varieties, all from The Plug Seedbank, all with flowering times on file, so they appear in Will it finish and the grow planner rather than sitting in the list as names. 12,578 varieties now, from 334 breeders. Also in this version, and worth saying plainly rather than leaving to a policy update: the iPhone app now reports a short list of measurement events, so we can tell which adverts led to someone installing it. It reports counts, such as that a plant was added, and never what you wrote. No plant names, no readings, no notes, no photos. It does not use your device's advertising identifier, so nothing here follows you into another app and no tracking prompt appears. The privacy policy at chlorofile.app/privacy names every event in full. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-03 Pair a Govee H5075 and stop typing temperature and humidity. Choose a sensor once, under Environments, and every log you write after that arrives with temperature and humidity already in it, and VPD worked out from them. Change either one if you disagree. They are a starting point, not a verdict. It reads what the sensor broadcasts over Bluetooth, so there is no account, no hub, no API key and nothing to sign into. That also means it works in a tent with no signal, which is where most tents are. It fills in the log you are writing rather than recording on its own in the background, so the reading is the one the sensor is showing while you are standing there. One thing worth knowing before you go looking for yours. A Govee sensor holds one Bluetooth connection at a time, and while the Govee app has it the sensor stops broadcasting entirely, so nothing else can read it. Closing that app is not enough, because iOS keeps the connection open. Open Settings, then Bluetooth, find the sensor and tap Forget This Device. Pairing then happens in ChloroFile, under Environments, and not in the Govee app. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-30 Two planning screens, at the top of Strains. Will it finish outdoors? Pick where you grow and see which varieties beat the freeze before the season ends, each with a sow date, a harvest date and the days of margin it leaves you. 41 regions across five continents, and every frost date is measured at a named weather station rather than estimated: NOAA's published normals in the United States, and the national services' own records elsewhere. The screen exists to carry one fact that catches growers out. A photoperiod plant in the ground does not flower when you decide. It flowers once the day is down to about fourteen hours, and that date comes from where the plant is standing. On the Lake Superior shore that lands in mid-August, which leaves 58 days before the killing freeze. What your latitude really decides is how much season is left after that. Grow planner. Choose a variety, a sow date and a veg length, and the whole run is drawn across your frost window: germination, veg, flowering, then dry and cure. It models a tent or a greenhouse, where you decide when the lights change, so the same plant in the ground is drawn as a second track beside it. Those two can be a month apart, and seeing both is the point. A season ends at the killing freeze, not at the first frost. A mature plant takes a light touch of frost and carries on, so treating the first frost as a wall makes northern growing look impossible when it is not. The stations record the killing freeze nine to seventeen days later, and that is the date these screens plan to. A handful of maritime regions record no killing freeze in most years; they fall back to the first frost and say so. Frost dates are 50%-probability averages. A sheltered, south-facing spot buys you a week or two and a low frost pocket costs you the same, so the margin is a planning number rather than a promise. Also new since 1.1, which is the last version that reached the store. Your reminders now travel with your account. Sign in on a new phone and your watering and feeding schedules come back with your plants, alarms and all. Forgot your password? There is a way back now. Tap Forgot password on the sign-in screen and a link arrives by email. Your finished grows are unlimited, on both plans. The free plan used to open the ten most recent and lock the rest, and finishing a plant could be refused because the archive was full. Neither happens now: every run you have ever recorded stays open, however many there are, and finishing a plant is never blocked. Pick a variety while you are adding a plant, rather than adding it first and going back for it. Choosing one still fills in type, seed type, flowering time and lineage, and if you have not typed a name the variety becomes it. Potency data corrected. 560 varieties recorded a single THC figure where the catalogue actually gives a range, so a variety listed as 21-25% showed a flat 21%. Those now read as the ranges they are, and 6,796 varieties gained an indica/sativa split they were missing. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-27 Two planning screens, at the top of Strains. Will it finish outdoors? Pick where you grow and see which varieties beat the freeze before the season ends, each with a sow date, a harvest date and the days of margin it leaves you. 41 regions across five continents, and every frost date is measured at a named weather station rather than estimated: NOAA's published normals in the United States, and the national services' own records elsewhere.

The catalogue no longer lists the same seed twice.Those are gone, and so are 23 more the catalogue had already marked as duplicates and the app was showing anyway. 12,546 varieties now rather than 12,667. Nothing was lost: those rows were plants you already had, listed a second time. ### 1.1 — 2026-08-27 No release notes. ## More apps by Chad DeMenge - [Yearly Birdie Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yearly-birdie-tracker/id6760086165) All apps by Chad DeMenge: https://appshunter.io/developer/1882558795 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
