Your plants deserve better than scattered notes and a camera roll full of unlabeled photos. Cheerful Plants is a personal journal for your plant collection — your photos, your care history, your reminders. Everything about your plants, in one place, instead of in your head. WHAT USERS ARE SAYING "I have been using this app for 3 or 4 years. There are endless options so you can track as much or as little as you want! I track fertilizing, repotting, blooms, diseases, and the progress through photos! My favorite app!" "I never have to worry about forgetting to water my plants." "My poor ADHD brain has had a slightly difficult time keeping track of the minutiae for every plant. A few months ago, I dreamed up an app that would help. THIS is the app!" "This isn't an ID or Diagnostic app! It's a Helper app: To help keep track of your succulents. I've tried a few other apps that try to 'do it all,' but they all fell short for me. I think this one is the best." YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER APP TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO This isn't a plant ID tool or an AI care advisor. You already know your plants. You just need a better place to put everything you're tracking in your head. Set your own watering reminders. Record care the way you actually do it. Look back when something goes wrong and figure out why. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF YOUR COLLECTION - Custom Reminders — Set watering intervals for each plant. Color-coded badges show what's due, what's coming up, and what's fine. Snooze when you're busy. Disable for dormant plants. - One-Tap Quick Water — Mark plants as watered in a single tap. Undo if you tapped too fast. - Full Care Tracking — Log watering, fertilizing, pruning, repotting, pest treatments, and custom tasks. See your complete history for every plant. - Photo Journal — Capture progress over time and build a visual record you'll actually want to look back at. - Flexible Organization — Group by location, tags, or plant type. Create arrangements so you can care for plants together. - Family Sharing — Share your collection with a sync key so family or roommates know exactly what to do when you're away. - Memory Garden — A place for plants that are no longer with you. Keep their history instead of deleting it. FREE FOR UP TO 5 PLANTS — ALL FEATURES INCLUDED No locked features. No trial period. Start with 5 plants and see if it works for you. If your collection is bigger than that, upgrade to Premium for unlimited plants at $2.99/month or $29.99/year. Made by Cassidy Tuttle of Succulents and Sunshine, helping plant lovers since 2013.
