About

Harvest Assistant

Features
Read full description

Run your orchard from one place. Harvest Helper turns maps, trees, crops, weather, observations and recommendations into work your team can actually complete. MAP THE LAND Draw orchard boundaries and sub-zones directly on the map. Add individual trees, dense plantings and managed crops including wheat fields and Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. Import, export, rename and organize zones without losing existing data. BUILD A LIVING INVENTORY Track every tree’s location, species, planting date, notes, care history and seasonal stage. Inventory can start unclassified and become more precise over time. On supported devices, LiDAR inventory measures trunk geometry and preserves confirmed tree outlines for AR. TURN INSIGHT INTO WORK Create, schedule, assign and complete orchard tasks. Target an entire zone, a sub-zone or a hand-picked group of trees. Completing watering, treatment, fertilizing, pruning or inspection work automatically updates the relevant care history. PLAN WITH CONTEXT Harvest Helper combines species, variety, observed growth stage, local climate, recent conditions and forecast weather to surface timely planting, watering, care and harvest guidance. Optional practice overlays add another planning perspective. UNDERSTAND THE WEATHER Review up to 100 days of historical conditions and 10 forecast days. Compare rain, sunshine, temperature, precipitation and daily highs and lows in metric or imperial units, with weather data provided by Apple Weather. WORK IN THE FIELD Use AR inside a mapped zone to find saved trees and review LiDAR-scanned trunk outlines. Filter the map by recent watering, pesticide, fertilizer, pruning and inspection activity. Widgets and Live Activities keep upcoming work and alerts visible. COLLABORATE SECURELY Sync through iCloud, share orchards with other iCloud users, and support view-only or editable access. Shared zones, trees, crops, observations and work stay connected across devices. AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH Switch language inside Harvest Helper while keeping units independently configurable. Agricultural guidance is informational and should be adapted to local conditions, product labels and qualified professional advice.
