Propagation Journal

Finally, an app that understands propagation. Most plant apps track watering and fertilizing. But when you snip a cutting and drop it in water, hoping for roots — there's nothing built for that. Until now. Propagation Journal is the dedicated tracker for your cuttings, from the moment you snip to the day you pot up a fully rooted plant. — TRACK EVERY CUTTING Add a new propagation in under 30 seconds. Log the parent plant, choose your method, and snap a photo. Your home screen shows every active cutting at a glance — with day counts, status, and what's due next. — PHOTO TIMELINE Watch your roots grow. Each cutting gets a visual timeline of progress photos so you can see exactly how far you've come. It's the most satisfying scroll on your phone. — ONE-TAP LOGGING Water change? First roots? Ready to pot? Log it with one tap. Entry types designed specifically for propagation — no typing paragraphs into a notes app. — SMART REMINDERS Set reminders for water changes, root checks, or anything custom. Never open a jar of murky water again because you forgot it existed for three weeks. — ALL METHODS SUPPORTED Water, soil, sphagnum moss, perlite, LECA, air layering, division — whatever technique you use, we've got you covered. — FREE TO START Track up to 5 active cuttings for free — with full access to reminders, timelines, and logging. Archived cuttings don't count against your limit. — NO SUBSCRIPTION One purchase. Unlimited cuttings. Forever. Unlike apps charging yearly fees, we believe you shouldn't rent access to your own plants. Upgrade when you're ready — or don't. The free tier is genuinely useful. — ALSO INCLUDES - Offline-first — works without internet - 8 lifecycle stages for detailed tracking - iCloud sync across all your devices - Export your data as CSV — Built by a plant person, for plant people. No bloat. No ads. No subscriptions. Just your cuttings, your photos, and your roots. Privacy Policy: https://propagationjournal.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://propagationjournal.app/terms
