Read full descriptionHide full description
BonsaiLog is a bonsai care app that helps you organize each tree's work history and plans, one pot at a time. As your collection grows, it can be hard to remember when you last watered a tree, when you repotted it, or when to take the wire off. It's a care journal for keeping those everyday tasks on your phone. What You Can Do with BonsaiLog - Record per tree: Keep photos, basic details, work history, and plans together for each individual bonsai tree. - Log work quickly: Record watering, pruning, wiring, wire removal, repotting, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and more. - Plan what's next: Add upcoming tasks like watering, repotting, fertilizing, or wire removal. - Set repeating plans: Create recurring plans such as "water every week" or "fertilize every three weeks." - See it on a calendar: View this month's plans and records together at a glance. - Log several trees at once: Record the same task across multiple bonsai in a single step. - Add photos and notes: Capture not just what you did, but how the tree looked and what you noticed that day. - Search and tag: Find past records quickly. - Keep your data with you: Records are saved on your device, and the app works offline, with no account required. Who It's For - People whose collection has grown faster than their notes - Anyone who wants to keep records of watering, pruning, repotting, and fertilizing - Anyone tired of managing a paper notebook or a spreadsheet - People who like to revisit photos and work history tree by tree - People who want to see what's coming up on a calendar - Anyone who prefers to keep records on their device rather than in the cloud What BonsaiLog Cares About - No pressure, no judgment: BonsaiLog won't decide how your tree is doing for you. You look, you consider, you act, and the app simply keeps a record of the care you gave. - Easy to keep using: Built so everyday care takes as few taps as possible. - Easy to revisit: History and plans stay separate, organized tree by tree. Pro Features With Pro, you can use photos, tags, custom species and styles, and recurring plans more freely. Pro also supports exporting to CSV and PDF, and removes ads. Privacy Your records, photos, and plans are stored on your device. Some network communication may occur for things like in-app purchases, ad delivery, and store features. For details, please see the privacy policy in the app or on this store listing. However many pots you keep, tend them one at a time, at your own pace. BonsaiLog is a journal for quietly keeping a record of your days with bonsai.

Quote the job, order the right materials, invoice the client, and know exactly what you made. PourPlan runs the whole job, from the first tape measure reading to the final payment. ESTIMATE IN SECONDS Pick a job type, enter your dimensions, done: ⢠Slabs and patios ⢠Fence post holes ⢠Strip footings ⢠Round columns and piers ⢠Steps Work in feet and inches or metres and centimetres. Switch at any time and your sizes convert with you. MATERIALS, NOT GUESSWORK Buying premix? PourPlan counts the bags, rounds up honestly, and shows what a different bag size would cost you. Mixing from scratch? Set your own ratio or pick a standard grade, and get cement, sand, aggregate and water broken out separately. Formwork, gravel base, sheeting and anything else you add go into one shopping list with prices, so you know the material cost before you commit to a number. Add a waste allowance so you are not driving back to the yard mid-pour. SHOW YOUR WORK Every result opens up. Dry volume, the ratio split, weight, bag count, and how each figure was reached. Check the arithmetic by hand if you want to. It is all there. RUN THE BUSINESS ⢠Save jobs as projects, with photos and several shapes per job ⢠Keep clients and their details in one place ⢠Turn any estimate into an invoice in one tap ⢠Add labour, markup, tax, discounts and deposits ⢠Share or print a clean PDF straight from your phone ⢠Record payments and see what is still owed KNOW YOUR MARGIN The Money tab shows what you charged, what it cost, and what you keep, per job and across the week, month or year. Tax is left out of profit, because it was never yours. Outstanding balances are always one tap away. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK No account. No sign-up. No internet required. Everything stays on your phone, so it works in a basement, a trench, or a site with no signal. Your client list never leaves your device. Available in English, Spanish and Russian. PourPlan estimates materials and helps you price work. It is not structural, engineering, or tax advice. Always check against local building code and your own records.
