A step-by-step wizard sets up your first grow in minutes — pick a variety, choose your method (jar, sprouter, or sieve), and Sproutable builds your soak and rinse schedule automatically. NEVER MISS A RINSE The number one reason sprouts fail? Forgotten rinses. Sproutable sends you smart push notifications at exactly the right time, so your sprouts always get the care they need. 70+ SPROUT VARIETIES, ONE TAP AWAY Choose from a built-in database of 70+ sprout varieties across 15 botanical families — from classic alfalfa and mung bean to broccoli, radish, lentil, fenugreek, quinoa, spelt, and more. Each variety comes with recommended soak time, rinse frequency, days to harvest, difficulty level, and growing tips. BUILT-IN KNOWLEDGE BASE Learn as you grow. Browse the sprout encyclopedia, follow clear guides to every growth phase, see which equipment you need, and find the easiest varieties to start with. Everything you need to succeed, right in the app. SMART GROW TRACKING Track multiple cultivations at once, grouped by phase — soaking, blackout, growing, and harvest. Today's Plan shows exactly what needs attention right now: what to rinse, what's soaking, and what's ready to harvest. Log every rinse with a single tap. PHOTO JOURNAL & TIMELAPSE Document your sprouts' journey with photos. Turn your collection into a timelapse video showing the full transformation from dry seed to vibrant sprouts.
