If watering plants was fun, we’d remember. But it’s not and our spouses have gotten on our case about it. Well, it’s time to show who’s boss.

To defeat this forgetful habit, we spiced up the watering task with gamification: watering streaks, naming your plants like babies, plant-selfies, and time-lapse videos to watch your plants grow baby grow.

Never forget to water your plants again with our Happy Plant features

- Manage your plants with unique water schedules.
- Take a plant selfie each time you water your plant to create a time-lapse video of your plant growth over time.
- Receive water reminders.
- Track your plant with water streaks to make sure no plant is left to dry.
- Customize your plants (your babies) by giving each a name and taking plant selfies.

- Snooze your water alarm to be reminded in the near future.

Video Plants Growing:

Each time you water your plants, you can take a photo. In doing so, you’re actually assembling epic time-lapse video of your plant growth over time. It’s a fun video to watch as your green baby becomes a thriving green plant.

More Than An Alarm Clock:

Happy Plant is more than an alarm clock. It’s a good habit builder. We believe that seeing progress over time creates positive associations in your brain that help you remember better. Are we clever scientists? Not at all! But we’re finally watering our plants and our spouses aren’t yelling at us for being dumb. What more proof do we need?

Plant Care Turned Into Fun Experiences:

Having a fun water schedule not only helps to keep your plant hydrated, but it will help to prevent overwatering as well. With all our daily responsibilities, it’s easy to forget if you did something or not.

Tracking your plant watering will help guide you into becoming a good gardener. Each day when it’s time to water a plant, you’ll receive a notification. When you water your plant, you add to your water streak. Challenge yourself to see how long you can keep your water streak going.

When your plant is in the green zone, your baby is hydrated and happy.

When your plant is in the red zone, your baby is thirsty and in the danger zone.

Enjoy Healthy Plants!

Don’t be that forgetful dude ever again. Happy Plant is like the household wingman that will remind you to take care of your plants. It’s that’s simple.

“Now my wife asks me to buy new plants. Never would’ve imagined.” - the surprised cat
“ You just saved my marriage…and yeah, my plants too” - the lucky cat
“Watering my plants reminds me to shower” - the strange cat
“My plants love me. I love my plants…and the rest of the family” - the mushy cat

### 1/5 — Camera won’t open

*2026-05-19, version 3.9.7*

Can’t add any plants

### 4/5 — Good - needs some improvements !

*2026-04-16, version 3.9.7*

Hi, the app is good to remind to water my numerous plants. 

I identified two improvements that it could be really beneficiary, to be more user-friendly :
- in the plant section, there is a need for a place to write the water quantity (cL or L). And it could be great if the quantity could automatically show on the « water me » button. 
I wrote this data in the comments but I have to open each plant file to see the quantity needed and then go back to click on water me. For each plant it is a lot. 

- in the plant’s pictures, it would be great if we could slide from one picture to another and zoom to really monitor the evolution of the plant. It is not practical to have to quit a picture and then click on another picture one to spot differences. Sliding and zooming would be great features 

Thanks 🙌🏻🙏🏻

### 5/5 — You need this app

*2026-02-11, version 3.9.7*

This app has been the key to having nice plants. It has maybe even turned me into a plant a holic! It helps remind you to water and logs the progress of growth!

### 3/5 — Plant babies

*2025-11-29, version 3.9.6*

The app is great for reminding me to water my plants but the app is glitching.  If I take a pic of plant #1 the pic ends up going to several other plants.  The feature on the app to send a review does not work.  I will cancel but I have to wait for the company to respond to my email asking to cancel.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-10-18, version 3.9.6*

This app has helped me keep my plants alive. But recently it has been logging my pictures under the wrong plant. I’ve reached out twice to hear nothing back. Used to be 5 stars. Now another app I paid for that doesn’t function correctly. Buyer beware.

### 2/5 — De nombreux bugs depuis 1 semaine

*2025-09-16, version 3.9.6*

Tout était parfait jusqu’à maintenant, mais depuis une semaine mes photos de plantes se mélangent, une fois prises. Heureusement que les noms sont explicites sinon je ne pourrais plus rien suivre.

### 5/5 — Does the job well

*2025-09-11, version 3.9.6*

Very helpful in keeping up to date with watering all my plants where I can check if it needs to be watered or wait a day or two instead of checking every plant every day ☺️ and with reminders especially if I forget one day or have to post pone the watering a day or two !

### 2/5 — Inflexible

*2025-04-14, version 3.9.5*

No watering before schedule.
Can’t deactivate Camera even in pro version.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2025-03-20, version 3.9.5*

I’m glad that it is a one time fee. It works just like I want it to.

### 2/5 — Great app but terrible UX

*2024-08-15, version 3.9.4*

I wish you could toggle animations and skip the photos. I don’t care about stuff like this. I need this app to be a reminder checklist to water my plants and nothing else. I wish you could also long press on the icons of the plants to enlarge them to id them better and sort them by room.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.9.7 — 2026-02-11

Happy Planters, we've got updates!
Your plant selfies had been left in the wild. Until now, there's been no way to manage, add, or delete photos. Well, that changes today.

Photo management is here — delete, export, and import your plant pics. Finally, you're the boss of your own plant photo library. Spring cleaning just got real.

Bug fixes — we squashed some pesky bugs that were bugging out (pun totally intended). Things should run smoother than a freshly watered fern.

We know it's not the flashiest update, but sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Like watering on time. Or not losing that perfect "new leaf" photo.
As always, your feedback is our fertilizer. Keep them coming!

And if Happy Plant is helping your green crew thrive, please support us with an App Store review. Your kind words give us more energy than photosynthesis on a sunny day.

Sunshine to your day!!

Happy Planters, we’ve got updates!

The plants spoke. They asked, “Why do people get to look all sexy with new clothes, and we just get water and sun?” We agreed, and so we’re pimping up the look and feel, starting with a few design revamps to the plant details screen, with more to come.

What’s Cooking in this Update:
* Brand new plant details screen - a new look with lots to improve. So let us know what you want.
* Smoother navigation - like a Michael Jackson moonwalk.
* Notification bug fixes - so you know, no green baby left behind.

As always, your feedback is our fertilizer, so keep those suggestions coming!

And if Happy Plant is helping you keep your green friends thriving, we’d love a review! Your kind words give us more energy than a solar lightbulb.
