LeafCue helps you remember when to check each plantβwithout pretending to know whether it needs water. Create a profile for every plant, optionally adding its species, room, photo, and notes. Set your own check rhythm for watering, fertilizing, or custom care. When a check is due, LeafCue gathers it in Today so you can observe the plant and soil before recording what actually happened: watered, still moist, skipped for now, or another kind of care. Choose the next check date yourself, review care history, and keep a private timeline of growth photos. Search by plant, species, or room, archive plants without losing their history, and export a local data summary that excludes photos. LeafCue is designed for private, offline use on your iPhone. There is no account, cloud sync, advertising, subscription, plant diagnosis, or automatic watering advice. Optional local reminders tell you when plants are ready to checkβyou always make the care decision.
