## What is Plantkit?

Plantkit is the focused plant-care app for iPhone. Snap a photo of any houseplant — fiddle leaf fig, monstera, pothos, snake plant, calathea — and Plantkit identifies the species on-device (it works offline), builds a watering and care calendar tuned to your local season, and tells you why leaves turn yellow or brown when they do.

WORKS OFFLINE, ON-DEVICE BY DEFAULT
Identification runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple Vision — no signal needed in the greenhouse, garden centre, or basement. Your photos never leave the device. We have no servers, so there is no upload path even if we wanted one.

PAY ONCE — OR STAY FREE
No subscription required to be useful, and no surprise yearly charge. Unlock everything forever with a one-time Lifetime purchase, take the low-cost annual, or stay free.

TRACK YOUR PROPAGATIONS
Rooting a cutting? Log it by medium (water, soil, sphagnum, perlite, LECA), add a photo each week, and get reminders to check for roots and pot up. Watch height and leaf count grow on a simple chart.

ON-DEVICE LEARNING
Every time you confirm a plant ID, Plantkit remembers it on your device using Apple's Vision feature print. The model gets noticeably better at recognising your plants with use. Nothing leaves your device.

• No accounts, no analytics, no tracking SDKs
• CloudKit sync (Pro+) is opt-in and uses your private database
