The Veggie Garden Planner provides you with clearly arranged information that you need to quickly compose your vegetable garden patch. Before purchase we provide a free download so you can see for yourself what value the app provides. Choose vegetables that harmonise well together. You will find information regarding good/bad neighbor plants for each vegetable. For your chosen garden composition you get tabular overviews to quickly determine sowing/harvest times, and which interactions exist between vegetables. As a purchasable bonus feature, you can visually arrange your vegetable patch with our Patch Plan Editor - with vital information regarding planting distance & good/bad neighbors at your fingertips. You will also be warned of problematic crop rotations, e.g. if you place two plants with strong soil depletion at two consecutive seasons! Note regarding the climate zone: The seedtimes and harvesttimes are adjusted to hardiness zones USDA 7-8 (e.g. Atlanta, Seattle or Central Europe). Please adapt accordingly.

Living with CFS or ME means navigating a body that doesn't follow the same rules. Energy is unpredictable, symptoms shift day to day, and keeping track of it all can feel like another drain on what little you have. ElliesNote is a symptom and energy tracker built specifically for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's designed to ask as little of you as possible — because on the days when logging feels like too much, that's when it matters most. LOG YOUR DAY Rate your energy on a simple 1–5 scale and tap the symptoms you're experiencing: fatigue, brain fog, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, dizziness, nausea, or sleep disturbance. Add a note if you want. Log multiple times a day. Morning and evening reminders help you stay consistent without having to think about it. CRASH DAYS On hard days, tap "I'm Crashing Today." It's tracked separately from your regular entries and shows up clearly across your history — no need to force it into a log note. INSIGHTS The Insights screen shows how your energy and symptoms trend over 7, 14, or 30 days. Useful for spotting patterns, understanding your limits, and sharing data with a doctor or specialist. APPLE HEALTH Connect to Apple Health and ElliesNote automatically pulls in your sleep duration, resting heart rate, HRV, and step count. See how they correlate with your energy without entering a thing manually. YOUR HISTORY Browse your logs month by month. See which days you logged, which you missed, and which were crash days — all in one place. ELLIESNOTE PREMIUM Unlock the full picture: • Personalised energy insights • 14-day and 30-day trend charts • Apple Health sync (sleep, HRV, resting HR, steps) • Full calendar history, month by month • 30-day missed-day tracking Try Premium free for 7 days, then choose monthly or annual billing. Cancel anytime in App Store settings. Built with care for the CFS/ME community.
