Percy is like having a friend in the garden who you can talk to. Percy remembers everything you share: the plantings, the harvests, and all the moments you want to hold onto. And turns it all into a gorgeous living record of your season. (Your friends should start doing that). WHAT PERCY DOES: LISTENS Hold to talk, like a walkie-talkie. No forms to fill in or plant variety dropdowns to configure. Just talk about your garden, share a photo if you like, and Percy figures out the rest. The dahlias you planted. The hummingbird that visited. The questionable bug that needed ID to be allowed admission. Percy understands what you say, captures and organizes all of it for you. REMEMBERS Every note becomes part of your garden’s story in The Nest. It’s like having a coffee table book about your garden that writes a new page every time you share something. Share photos along with your notes and you can revisit memories of the garden and see your plants grow from seed to harvest. At the end of the season Percy gives you a complete picture of your garden that no gardener has ever had before. ORGANIZES Instead of tracking your garden on grids and Gantt charts, Percy organizes everything for you in The Nest. All the plants you’re growing. All the photos you share. Just say “I just planted the tomatoes” or “The tomatoes are ripening.” or “The squirrels ate the tomatoes FML.” Percy logs it in its own section and remembers it for you (even if you’d rather not). ANSWERS Percy answers your questions like a garden advisor. Ask something you’d normally ask Google or post to an internet forum and get an answer based on your actual garden, not a stranger's. Percy knows your zone, your frost dates and everything you’ve grown and logged. Ask why your tomatoes are struggling and Percy knows. IDENTIFIES Share a photo of the things you see and Percy can identify them. Ask it if this plant is a weed. If this bug is a friend or a foe. Percy will give you an answer that’s actually useful. (Not its latin name, geographic distribution and wikipedia entry). It says what it means for you and your garden. Anything you ID, you can ask Percy to remember. So if you see a plant and can’t remember if it’s one you planted on purpose (not that we’ve ever done that) Percy can let you know, and remember it for when you forget again next year (which we will). KINDA GEEKS OUT Percy keeps an eye on the weather and records the conditions every time you share a note. It can track the temperature, humidity, hours of daylight of your location, if there’s a chance of frost on Thursday. By next season, you’ll have something no spreadsheet has ever had: a weather-correlated history of your garden. THE COMPLETE STORY OF YOUR SEASON At the end of the season, Percy will create your Migration Report. A beautiful year-in-review keepsake of everything that happened in your garden. Your most-mentioned plants. Your seasonal timeline. The challenges, the victories, the varieties worth growing again and the ones we shall never speak of again. Your garden’s story, assembled automatically from a season of moments you narrated while standing in the sunshine. Your first Migration Report will be part of your free season. It will become your planning document for next year, except you didn’t have to write any of it. Starting in year two, it will include side-by-side comparisons with last season: what improved, what patterns emerged, what you learned. That’s when it gets really fun. PERFECT FOR YOU IF… You've finished a season and couldn't remember half of what happened You'd rather be in the garden than managing an app about it You want to understand your garden, not just log it PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your garden is yours. Percy doesn't sell your data. Ever. FREE TO USE Percy is completely free to try out for the 2026 growing season. No credit cards, no in app purchases to use it. In January you can decide if Percy has earned a place in your garden. ## Key features - Voice-activated logging - Photo sharing and plant identification - Personalized garden advice - Seasonal garden history tracking - Weather condition recording - End-of-season garden report ## Recent user reviews (9 of 9) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/percy-garden-journal/id6762551296/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-06-06* This app has become my best friend to ask questions about my garden & show off my progress! I love how it uses information I’ve shared about my garden before to help answer my questions. This app really personalizes the whole experience & is very user-friendly! I love it!! ### 5/5 — Confirmation *2026-05-24* Percy confirmed what my landscaper thought was the problem with my trees - late frost caused brown leaves. I noted the date on Percy so I can follow up if the tree doesn’t make a comeback. Great not to have to rely on my memory! ### 5/5 — Memory! *2026-05-17* It’s so hard to remember when I planted any given bush or tree! Percy is perfect for that task. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2026-05-09* What an incredible concept. Today is gardening day and Percy will be my companion as I plant and determine what’s next for my garden. ### 5/5 — Beautiful & Fun! *2026-05-04* I'm absolutely loving this gardening app! It's so beautifully designed and easy to use, which is a huge plus since I'm pretty hopeless with tech. My favorite thing is that I can just press and chat with it while I'm out in the garden with dirty hands, it remembers the essentials and reminds me when to plant everything. I'm already so excited to see how my garden progresses this year, and I can't wait for next season when it helps me plan based on what worked and what didn't this time around. ### 5/5 — It really helps! *2026-05-01* This is my first growing season with the Percy app and I must say, it really seems intuitive. I’ve had some early Spring problems with new growth on young trees and bushes and the answers seem spot on. It took a minute to get used to holding the button like a walkie talkie, but actually seems cool and does prevent recording what you don’t mean to. As the season progresses, I think Percy will give me a better handle on what I’ve done and most importantly, what Has…and Hasn’t worked. Keeping track of where , when and how I’ve used garden chemical is also a bonus for this gardener. ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2026-05-01* Percy first took some background information on my garden and then was ready to offer advice. I asked a specific question regarding growing clematis in a heavily deer and wooded area and Percy came right up with the answer. ### 5/5 — Poor crepe Myrtle’s! *2026-05-01* There was a quick freeze that caused my crepe Myrtle trees’ new leaves to brown. This is what I learned from Percy. And to have hope! Thanks Percy. ### 5/5 — Percy is Awesome! *2026-05-01* If you enjoy gardening and want it to improve year after year then Percy is a must have. It combines a journal as a reference from one year to the next. It is your personal garden “Coach” giving you advise and answering your questions along the way. I can’t wait to see how my garden evolves with Percy by my side! ## Frequently asked questions about Percy ### Does Percy have ads? Yes, Percy contains advertisements.
