Plantaroo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Plantaroo is a plant care tracker that learns from you. Instead of rigid timers that drift out of sync the first time life gets busy, Plantaroo anchors every schedule to the moment you actually water — and adjusts each plant's interval based on what it learns. SCHEDULES THAT LEARN • Every plant starts with a species-specific baseline • Each watering refines the interval using your recent history • Watered late? Tell Plantaroo whether the soil was still wet or you were just busy — it learns from the first and ignores the second • Seasonal adjustment slows schedules in winter for plants under natural light BUILT-IN PLANT KNOWLEDGE • 350+ plants and herbs with care profiles built in — works completely offline • Watering interval, moisture preference, feeding cadence, fertilizer type, and water source for each species • Unknown plant? Set up a custom profile in seconds FERTILIZING DONE RIGHT • Feeding rides on your watering count — every Nth watering, the way plants are actually fed • Repotted? Plantaroo automatically pauses fertilizing for two weeks • Distilled water reminders for carnivorous plants EVERYTHING ELSE • To-do view that shows only what needs attention today • Photos, rooms, notes, and per-plant history • On-device watering reminders — private, no server involved • Sign in with Apple or Google; your plants sync securely across devices • Delete your account and all data anytime, right in the app No subscriptions. No ads. Just happier plants.
