GreenThumb gives you one short list each morning: what needs water today, what is coming up, and what you have already done. Tap the drop. Get on with your day. MADE FOR ACTUALLY DOING IT • A daily list split into Needs Water, Coming Up, and Completed • One tap to water. No forms, no confirmation screens • Not today? Snooze a plant and it comes back when you are ready • A daily reminder at a time you choose, plus an app badge so nothing slips EVERY PLANT, PROPERLY KEPT • Set a watering interval per plant, because a fern is not a cactus • Point your camera at a plant and let GreenThumb identify the species • Tag plants the way you actually think about them: Living Room, Low Light, Succulent, Large • Search, filter, and sort your whole collection in a second • Keep health notes over time, so you can see what a plant has been through • Give each plant its own icon and color SEE YOUR RHYTHM • A per-plant chart of how you really water versus how you meant to • Garden health score, on-time rate, and a 14-day activity history • Spot the plant you keep forgetting before it suffers for it TURN IT INTO A HABIT • Earn XP for every watering and climb from Seedling to Horticulturist • Build a daily streak and keep it alive • Thirteen achievements to unlock, from Getting Rooted to Unbroken Canopy GreenThumb is for anyone with more plants than memory.
