Leafolio is a premium plant collection journal built for serious growers, collectors, and plant lovers who want more than a simple watering reminder. Most of Leafolio is yours to use with the app, with optional Leafolio Premium adding advanced breeding records for growers who document crosses, parentage, traits, and harvest timing. Keep your plants, photos, sources, vendors, orders, wishlists, care notes, and records organized in one beautiful place. Whether you grow orchids, Japanese maples, roses, carnivorous plants, hoyas, aroids, rare houseplants, or anything in between, Leafolio helps you preserve the full story behind every plant in your collection. Track where each plant came from, when you acquired it, what it was purchased as, which vendor supplied it, how it has changed over time, and what details matter most to you. For growers who breed plants, Leafolio Premium adds a dedicated place to document crosses, parentage, observed traits, dates, and expected harvest timing — so breeding records stay connected to the plants they came from. With Leafolio, you can: • Catalog your plant collection with names, photos, categories, sources, and notes • Preserve photo history and milestones over time • Save favorite vendors, growers, nurseries, and sellers • Build a wishlist for future plant acquisitions • Track orders from purchase to arrival • Record care observations and plants that need attention • Document breeding records, parentage, crosses, traits, and harvest timing with Leafolio Premium • Keep important plant history together instead of scattered across notes, photos, messages, and spreadsheets Leafolio is designed for collectors who care about where their plants came from, how they grow, what they become, and the details that make each one worth remembering. Your plant collection is a masterpiece. It deserves more than a list. Your breeding work deserves more than scattered notes. Leafolio keeps the full story together.

PediGreeN is an app for managing your plants' pedigrees and cultivation records, one plant at a time. 【What you can record for each plant】 ・Cultivar / plant name, genus, species, cultivar name, common / trade name ・Scientific name, auto-generated from your taxonomy details ・Origin, source, purchase price ・5-star rating, tags, free-form notes ・Multi-photo gallery and a comparison camera to track growth ・12 types of care logs (watering, repotting, fertilizing, and more), with weather and temperature recorded automatically ・Scheduled tasks with reminder notifications 【Weather forecast alerts】 Get notified ahead of weather that affects your plants, based on the forecast. ・Frost or low-temperature forecasts: a prompt to bring outdoor plants inside ・Heavy rain forecasts: a suggestion to review your watering schedule ・Extreme heat: reminders to add shade and protect your plants ・Approaching typhoons and other major storms: a prompt to move outdoor plants to shelter ・Forecasts that go above or below the temperature limits you set Allow location access to get alerts based on the forecast for your area. 【True pedigree tracking】 Just set the mother and father for any plant (for crosses, divisions, and so on) and a pedigree tree is built automatically. Trace back up to 5 generations to see at a glance where a plant came from and what it has produced. 【QR plant labels you can print】 Connect to Brother P-touch printers (such as the PT-P300BT and PT-P700BT) over Bluetooth and print labels with QR codes directly. Choose which items appear on the label (cultivar name, ID code, scientific name, and more) and customize the layout. Scan a label's QR code to jump straight to that plant's record. 【PG-pass: hand off the plant and its history】 When you give, trade, or gift a plant, send its full record (cultivar, photos, pedigree, and care logs) with a single link. The recipient just taps it, and the plant is imported straight into PediGreeN. 【Manage plants in groups】 Organize plants into groups by growing area, source, or pest-control routine, and manage reminders and batch care logs per group. Care records are still saved per plant. 【Your data stays yours】 Records are stored on your device by default. Turn on iCloud sync to keep your own devices up to date. *Only the relevant data is uploaded externally when you use PG-pass. *When you use weather alerts, your location is sent to the weather data provider to retrieve the forecast. 【Pricing】 Manage up to 20 plants and 3 groups for free. Subscribe for $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year to unlock unlimited use. *Subscription plans and pricing may change. 【Terms of Use & Privacy Policy】 Use of this app is subject to the following Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
