Flora is a new way to stay off your phone, clear to-do lists, and build positive, life-changing habits. Whenever you want to make progress towards your goals, plant a seed in Flora. As you work hard, the seed will grow into a healthy tree. Let the tree be your coach and grow yourself with it. You will be amazed by how great you can be. FOCUS TREES Have trouble putting down the phone? Flora blocks distracting apps in a pleasant way to help you focus on what’s more important in real life. If you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app while growing a tree, the tree will be killed! But if succeeding, you'll unlock new trees. DOUBLE EFFICIENCY WITH FRIENDS Things get even more interesting when you challenge your friends to plant trees together—you will see who kills a tree (ouch). However, if you successfully stay away from your phones together, each of you will win an additional tree from a random friend. You can also chat and share your progress to motivate each other and keep everyone on track.* * Flora is the original app for multi-user tree planting and delivers the best features that help you and your friends be productive. TO-DO LIST & WIDGET Flora is a to-do list, and more. Simply create a to-do item and set a reminder, then you will never forget a thing. Even better, you can tag your trees with a to-do item to easily track the progress towards each of your life goals. No matter if your goal is daily, weekly, or monthly, Flora will help you follow it through and achieve it. HABIT TRACKER Enjoy a rewarding daily habit routine. If you grow trees regularly, you will earn yourself a beautiful, vibrant garden. Take a look at it and feel proud of yourself! Each tree records your perseverance and a step towards a healthy life. You can also view the daily, weekly, or monthly statistics of your activities in Flora to find opportunities to improve your time-management and planning skills. REAL TREES, REAL IMPACT Why not plant REAL trees while improving yourself? Flora proudly offers the opt-in Price and Care services that let you plant real trees on the earth if you kill or successfully grow a tree in the app. We partner with tree-planting organizations in Africa and East Asia, such as the Trees.org and Eden Reforestation Projects, to plant fast-growing soil rebuilding trees, fruit trees that diversify incomes and nutrition, and trees that can provide forage and fuel-wood. All these trees help make the earth greener and provide long-term financial aid to families who need it most. Sounds good? Download Flora and join our 2,000,000+ productive users now!

Stop filling out endless spreadsheets. Spend that time with your plants instead. ARKUSCH is a dedicated database and tracking system built for the serious plant collector. Whether you’re managing an indoor jungle or a complex outdoor garden, I built ARKUSCH to give you the reliable tools you need to manage your botanical treasures with precision, without the administrative overhead ruining the fun. Available on Mac, iPhone and iPad. With iCloud sync enabled, do the detailed editing on a large screen, then set pins and take photos with your phone out in the garden. KEY FEATURES - Total Data Customization: Every collection is unique. Record what actually matters to you: from lineage and acquisition costs to custom tags, soil pH, light intensity. You define the data; the app adapts to it. - Precision Task Management: Forget generic "water me" notifications. Create fully custom events and tasks with your own instructions (e.g., "Check root health in 3 months," or "Apply systemic treatment"). - Spatial Mapping: Never lose a dormant specimen again. Pinpoint your outdoor plants with GPS coordinates. When GPS isn't precise enough, check which plants are nearby — a lifesaver for finding dormant plants once they vanish in winter and tags fade. - Nothing Gets Lost: Even a plant you've lost stays in your records. Review the "Graveyard" to learn from what happened and improve your care going forward. - Data Portability & Sync (CSV & iCloud): Moving away from spreadsheets is easy with CSV import and export. Plus, with full iCloud sync, your collection is always up to date across all your devices. - Multilingual: Available in English, German, and Ukrainian. WHY ARKUSCH? Most plant apps are built for casual hobbyists. ARKUSCH is for serious collectors who want professional-grade data tracking, but would rather spend their time in the garden than in front of a laptop. - No Clutter: Focused entirely on data, history, and inventory. - High-Speed Workflow: Optimized for rapid, efficient logging right alongside your daily plant care routine. - True Ownership: Your data belongs to you—structured, secure, and fully under your control. Take full control of your collection. Download ARKUSCH today and build the professional database your plants deserve.
