Sproutable is the personal sprouting companion that helps you grow fresh sprouts at home — from seed to harvest in just a few days. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced grower, Sproutable guides you through every step: soaking, rinsing, draining, and harvesting. BEGINNER-FRIENDLY START Never grown sprouts before? 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. STATISTICS & GROW HISTORY Learn from every grow. Detailed analytics across three tabs. Track success rates, yield ratios, seasonal trends, and personal records. Activity heatmap, learning curve analysis, failure breakdown, and method comparison (jar, sieve, tray). BATCH RINSING Growing multiple batches? Rinse them all at once with a single tap. SMART NOTIFICATIONS - Rinse reminders at your chosen times - Harvest alerts when sprouts are ready - Soaking complete notifications - Blackout period end reminders - Overdue care alerts - Daily check-in prompt All batched intelligently — one notification per time slot, not one per plant.
