About

Your Garden Journal

Features
Read full description

Your Garden Journal helps you remember what you planted and when to care for it. Add a plant from a built-in catalog of nearly 2,000 varieties, record where you planted it on your property, and the app builds a care schedule for you β€” then reminds you at the right time of year. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Add plants from a bundled catalog of ~1,972 varieties β€” search works fully offline, no account or internet needed. β€’ Record category, planted date, placement on your property, and notes. β€’ See care facts for each plant: watering, sunlight, hardiness, harvest timing, and common pests. β€’ Get a pruning and harvest schedule built automatically from regional rules. β€’ Receive local reminders ("Time to prune your Rose Apple") in the right months β€” mark them done or postpone by a week or a month right from the notification. β€’ Attach photos to your plants to track their progress. TIMED TO WHERE YOU LIVE Pruning timing uses regional extension rules by plant group and location β€” for example, apricots are summer-pruned in New Zealand but dormant-pruned in central Russia. Harvest months automatically flip for the Southern Hemisphere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no data leaves your phone. Location is used only to set planting locations and tailor care timing to your hemisphere. Plant data is from the open Plant Variety Database (CC BY 4.0); attribution is shown in Settings.
