## What is PlantPal?

PlantPal identifies plants from a photo, writes down the right care, reminds you to water and checks from a photo whether your plant is doing well.

IDENTIFY A PLANT
• Take a photo of a leaf or flower, or pick one from your library
• Up to five matches with a probability, the best one highlighted
• One tap and the plant is in your collection with its photo

CARE AT A GLANCE
• Watering interval, light, temperature, fertilizing and toxicity for cats, dogs and people
• Compact tiles for a quick overview, details with a tap
• Refresh the care tips at any time

WATERING PLAN WITH REMINDERS
• “Watered now” resets the plan, so you always see which plant is next
• If you like, a notification reminds you of the next watering

HEALTH CHECK
• One photo is enough: PlantPal judges whether diseases, pests or care mistakes are involved
• Finding, cause and confidence in a clear table, plus concrete measures
• Every check stays with the plant with date and time, so you can see how it develops
• The saved photo of the plant is enough, no need to take a new one

YOUR COLLECTION
• All plants with photo, watering status and your own notes
• Synced to your other devices through your private iCloud
• English and German

PRIVACY
No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking. For identification, care tips and the health check, the photo or plant name is sent through a server in Austria to Anthropic (Claude). Photos are not stored. Your collection stays on your device and in your iCloud. All data on the server can be deleted in the app.

Note: Identification, care tips and the health check are estimates by an AI and no substitute for expert advice. With toxic plants and children or pets at home, ask a vet or a poison control centre if in doubt.

Base price: Free.

**Subscriptions**
