## What is PlantLens?

Every plant around you has a story — and some carry risks you cannot see. PlantLens helps you identify any plant from a single photo, check whether it is toxic to pets or children, and learn exactly how to care for it, all before a curious hand or paw gets too close.

WHY PLANT LOVERS USE PLANTLENS

Identify any plant in seconds.
Aim at a leaf or flower and PlantLens names the species with a confidence indicator, then opens a field-guide profile: common and scientific names, family and classification, appearance, habitat, distribution, and "did you know" facts. From the monstera on your windowsill to a wildflower on the trail, you finally know what you're looking at.

Know what's safe — for pets and kids.
Many common houseplants and garden plants are toxic to cats, dogs, or children if chewed. Every identified plant carries a plain-language safety flag, so you can decide where a plant belongs before it ends up within reach of a curious paw or hand. When confidence is low, PlantLens says so instead of guessing.

Spot trouble before it spreads.
Yellowing leaves, spots, wilt, pests — PlantLens helps you recognize common signs of plant stress and disease and points you toward what to check next, so a struggling plant has a better chance of bouncing back.

Care that fits the plant.
Each profile includes practical care notes — light, water, and handling guidance written for real homes and gardens, not lab conditions — so you can stop guessing how often to water and start keeping plants alive.

Build a herbarium that's all yours.
Save every plant you identify into a personal collection on your device. Track the species and families you've found, watch your herbarium grow, and earn badges as you discover new plants and complete new families.

Learn as you go.
PlantLens includes free in-app guides any plant lover can read: how plant identification confidence works, how to tell dangerous look-alikes apart (for example, hemlock versus wild carrot), the beauty of color forms and variegation, and how to handle and store plants without harming them.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Capture or pick a photo — frame a clear leaf or flower in good light.
2. PlantLens identifies the likely species and shows a confidence indicator; confirm it or adjust by hand.
3. Open the field-guide profile to read traits, habitat, safety, and care.
4. Save it to your collection and keep exploring.

PRIVACY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
Your plant collection, history, and preferences are stored on your device. There are no accounts and no third-party trackers or advertising SDKs. When online recognition is enabled, the photo you scan is sent securely to our recognition service to look up the plant, is not retained after processing, and is never used for advertising or tracking. See the in-app Privacy Policy for full details.

A NOTE ON SAFETY
PlantLens is an educational identification tool, not a medical, veterinary, or foraging authority. Plant toxicity information is for general awareness only and can vary by part, dose, and individual. Never rely on the app to decide whether a plant is safe to eat or safe around a specific pet or person. If ingestion is suspected, contact a doctor, vet, or poison-control center immediately.

SUBSCRIPTION
PlantLens Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Plans are offered weekly and annually (for example, $12.99 per week or $89.99 per year; promotional pricing may be available). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price and period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Prices may vary by region.

Terms of Use (https://plantlens.app/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://plantlens.app/privacy) are also available inside the app.
