Ortaia is your personal garden planner for growing your own food. It builds a planting schedule around your local climate and walks you from seed to harvest — so you never miss the right moment to sow, transplant, water, or pick. Most of gardening is timing. Ortaia keeps the timing, so you can keep your hands in the soil. HOW IT WORKS • Tell us where you garden and what you'd like to grow • Ortaia builds a week-by-week plan around your local frost dates and daylight • When it's time to start seeds, transplant, water, or harvest, a task appears — tick it off and carry on WHAT YOU CAN DO • See your whole season on one timeline — when to sow, when to harvest, crop by crop • Plan every bed: enter its size, pick your crops, and Ortaia works out how many plants fit and how to space them — or auto-plan the bed in a tap • Choose from hundreds of varieties, from cherry tomatoes to beetroot — each with its own growing spot and season length • Growing guides for vegetables, herbs, and fruits: spacing, sowing depth, and step-by-step help on every task • Companion planting suggestions, so crops that help each other grow side by side • Your local weather, rainfall, soil temperature and moisture — at a glance • Outdoor and greenhouse modes, with suggestions that suit your climate. Ortaia won't nudge you to grow something that can't thrive where you are • Share your garden with family or friends • Available in English, German, Danish, and Italian ORTAIA PLUS Ortaia is free to use. Plus adds three things: • Personalised watering guidance — which of your crops need water, with alerts that name them • Precise planting timing — sow and transplant tasks unlock only when the soil and frost are right • Unlimited garden sections (free includes up to 5) Plus Monthly, Plus Yearly (auto-renewing), or Plus Lifetime (one-time). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Auto-renewing plans renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

Ortaia brought instructions. ### 1.0.5. — 2026-08-04 NEW • Choose your variety — hundreds to pick from, each with its own growing spot, season length, and timing • Adding a crop after its season has closed? Ortaia offers to plan it for next year — or record it as already growing • Missed a sowing? Mark it "Not this year" — the crop returns next season • The garden overview now shows each crop's state at a glance: sown, planted, or done for the year IMPROVED • More accurate sowing and harvest dates throughout your plan • Weather icons now show mixed days more honestly • Many small fixes for a smoother season ### 1.0.4. — 2026-06-24 This update puts your garden's real conditions front and centre, and sharpens the timing Ortaia is built around. WEATHER & SOIL - A new Weather & Soil view brings together your local forecast, rainfall, and soil temperature and moisture — the conditions that actually shape how your garden grows. - Garden-aware watering guidance: see which of your crops may need a drink based on your local conditions, so you water when it counts. BETTER TIMING - Planting tasks now wait for the right moment — Ortaia holds back direct-sowing or transplanting when the soil is still too cold (or too warm) for a crop to get going, with a clear note on why. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Smoother planning, clearer screens, and the usual round of fixes. Thank you for growing with us — we're a small, independent project, and it means a lot. ### 1.0.2. — 2026-04-26 What's new Smarter auto-planning — crops that need open ground stay outside, while warmth-loving varieties find their own way into the greenhouse. The plan updates the instant you mark a task done. Completed tasks now show which section they belong to. Cleaner Android layout and crisper icons. Easier to discover how to rename a section and set its size. ### 1.0.1. — 2026-04-22 Fresh visuals: We've added beautiful new product pictures to make your planning experience even better. Landscape fix: We fixed a bug where the screen would unexpectedly shift or rotate when holding your phone horizontally. Snappier updates: Your crop status now refreshes instantly right after you check off a task. Smarter schedules: We’ve fine-tuned the planting windows for several crops to perfectly match gardening best practices. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
