Second Leaf AI

Most plant apps stop at naming your plant. Second Leaf AI tells you what's wrong with it, calmly and honestly, with a plan you can follow. And now it plans your whole garden too. DIAGNOSE FIRST Photograph a struggling leaf, tick what you see and add a detail if you like. You get a measured read: the likely cause, how sure we are, what else it could be, and a short plan of what to do. A week later we check back, so you can see whether it worked. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GROWING Identify a plant from one photo. Every match shows how confident it is, with reference photos to compare against. Tap one to enlarge it, with its source and license. THE GARDEN DESIGNER, NEW IN 2.0 Plan raised beds, balconies, windowsills, vegetable rows, desks, vertical walls, towers and orchards, plus your pond, coop and shed. Pick from 30 vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit trees, or make your own, and every plant is placed for sun, water and good neighbors. - Why here: see why each plant sits where it does. - Watering: a plan for every bed, with the forecast for outdoor spaces. - Your whole yard: drag every space into place on one map. - Share a plan as an image, or print a guide with a planting list. CARE THAT FITS YOUR DAY Today brings your tasks, check-ins and a seasonal tip together. When several plants need water, start a watering round and follow it from your Lock Screen. Widgets keep your garden on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. TUNED TO YOUR CLIMATE Care advice and seasonal tips follow your climate zone (USDA, RHS or Köppen-Geiger) and your hemisphere. MADE FOR IPAD AND IPHONE DUO Turn iPad sideways, or open iPhone Duo, and screens become two pages: Today beside the calendar, your plants beside each plant, a diagnosis beside your photo. Fold iPhone Duo halfway on a table and a raised bed's plants stand up off the plan. HONEST ABOUT AI Every result shows its confidence and what else it could be. AI can make mistakes, and we say so on every read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your plants, notes and photos are stored on your phone. A photo is sent for analysis only when you ask for a diagnosis or an ID, and it's re-encoded first, which removes its location data. Your location is used on your phone and by Apple's own services, never by our servers or our AI partners. An optional daily backup goes to your own iCloud Drive. PLANS Free: keep track of up to 4 plants. No AI. Lite, $1.99 a month: 15 diagnoses and 10 IDs a month, up to 20 plants and 1 garden space. Pro, $4.99 a month or $11.99 every 3 months: 60 diagnoses and 30 IDs a month, unlimited plants and garden spaces. Both Pro plans start with a 3-day free trial, once per Apple ID. During the trial, Lite's AI limits apply; plants and garden spaces are unlimited. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings. Privacy Policy: https://timebrane.com/apps/secondleafai/privacyPolicy Terms of Use: https://timebrane.com/apps/secondleafai/terms&Conditions
