## What is Plant Scanner?

Plant Scanner names the plant in front of you, builds a care plan around your home and helps when a leaf struggles. Recognition runs on your iPhone or iPad, even offline, and your photo stays with you.

IDENTIFY FROM ONE PHOTO, OR A WALK AROUND IT
• Recognizes 2,213 houseplants, garden plants, trees and wildflowers on your device
• Beyond them, a wider model knows 100,983 species, also offline, and shows the accuracy we measured for each group
• See what it saw: a map marks the parts of your photo that counted most
• Hold the shutter and walk around a plant: the app reads the clearest views of leaves, flowers and stem together
• Says how sure it is, and when it isn't, lists the few plants it could be or names the genus
• Flags weeds and plants that can trigger allergies
• Correct a wrong match and, if you agree, help recognition improve, without sharing the photo

CARE THAT FITS YOUR HOME
• Watering, fertilizing and repotting dates from the plant, its pot, its spot and the season, each explaining itself
• How much to pour, in milliliters or cups, worked out from the pot
• Daily light for each spot from one light reading, winter included
• A care round to water everything in one go, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• A plant without its own guide borrows care from a close relative, marked as such

HEALTH CHECK THAT STARTS WITH A PHOTO
• Take a photo and the app suggests what it sees, such as white powder, webbing or brown spots, for you to confirm
• Weighs 78 problems, from root rot to rose black spot and blight, against your plant's pot, spot, season and care log
• Steps for today and the weeks ahead; check again later and compare the photos
• Share a health report or a sitter guide as a PDF

PLANT ADVISOR
• Ask about any plant from its page, a health result or Today. Answers know your garden, your light and your pets, and can log care or change a schedule when you tap Apply
• Written on your device by Apple Intelligence where available

A FIELD GUIDE TO 2,249 PLANTS
• Light, water, humidity, temperature, size and pet safety for every plant
• Plant Finder suggests plants for your light, your space and your pets
• Nurseries near you, on a map

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Identification, evidence maps and health checks run on your device; a photo is sent only when you choose
• Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
• A page lists every server the app has contacted, how often and when
• Locked backup encrypts photos on your device, so our server can't open them

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
• An Apple Watch app with today's care and complications for your watch face
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Siri and Shortcuts
• An optional account backs up your garden; delete it in the app at any time

PLANT SCANNER PLUS
Your first scan comes before anything else. To keep using the app after it, choose Plant Scanner Plus, which includes everything above and:
• As many plants and health checks as you need, and a full growth journal
• Your own care tasks, forecast-aware care and frost warnings for outdoor plants
• Plant Advisor without limits, a second opinion on health checks and up to 300 photo searches a month, automatic when your device isn't sure if you allow it

If you installed Plant Scanner before version 1.1.1, you keep your free plan.

Plus is a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase; prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm, or when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage them in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-28

• 100,983 species known on your device: beyond the library, a wider model names plants offline, without sending the photo, and shows the accuracy we measured for each group on photos it had never seen
• Garden favorites: 2,249 plant guides, now with the flowers, shrubs, vegetables and houseplants people grow most, from tulips and dahlias to camellias and peppers, recognized on your device
• See what it saw: a map over your photo marks the parts that counted most in an identification, a look-alike comparison or a health result
• Health check for the garden: 78 problems now, from rose black spot and tomato blight to blossom end rot and vine weevil, each only for the plants that can get it
• Second look with Plus: when your iPhone or iPad isn't sure, the photo can go to Pl@ntNet or Kindwise without a tap, if you allow it. It's off until you turn it on
• Care for more plants: a plant without a guide of its own borrows care from a related library plant, and says so
• Measure a pot with the camera, and the water amount fits it
• App lock: open Plant Scanner with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
• What has left this iPhone: one page lists every server the app contacts, how often and when, never the content
• Locked backup: photos are encrypted on your device before they are backed up, so our server can't open them
• Help improve recognition, if you agree: a correction you make is shared as the scan's fingerprint, never the photo, with nothing that identifies you
• Share a health report or a sitter guide as a PDF, made on your device
• Nurseries nearby: find plant nurseries near you on a map

### 1.3 — 2026-10-26

• Scan your own plant first: setup is shorter and ends with your plant named and its care plan ready
• Walk-around scan: hold the shutter and move around the plant for a surer answer
• 31,782 species checked on your device when the library has no close match, even with no connection
• When it isn't sure, the result lists the few plants it could be, or says it can't tell
• How much to water each time, in milliliters or cups, for each plant's pot
• Daily light for every spot, from one light reading and the way the window faces, with the winter drop
• Frost and heat warnings for plants outside
• Ask Plant Advisor from any plant, health result or Today, and let it log care or change a schedule when you tap Apply

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-23

• 1,195 plants named on your device, up from 141: houseplants, garden plants, trees and wildflowers. When the species isn't clear, you get the genus.
• The health check starts with a photo and suggests what it sees for you to confirm. It now weighs about 40 problems and compares photos when you check again.

• Apple Watch: today's care with one tap, and complications for your watch face
