Node. vs VLH

Node. is an observation archive app for preserving plant growth through photos. Save observation photos, care logs, and notes on your device, then revisit each plant’s changes through timelines and comparison views. Node. supports fixed-point shooting with a previous-photo overlay, photo comparison, timelapse generation, Quick Log, custom care buttons, and local watering reminders. With the Plus Pack, you can use tags, search, iCloud Backup, and plant transfer export. Plant data can be exported as a .nodeplant file and passed to another device running Node. via AirDrop or the share sheet. A Local First plant record app you can start using without creating an account. Down to the memories you grew.
