About

PotPal

Features
Read full description

PotPal is a gentler way to care for houseplants. Add a plant with a photo, learn what it may need, and keep watering decisions grounded in its rhythm and your observations. MEET A PLANT WITH A PHOTO Take a picture to start a plant profile. Keep its name, notes, light, location, and care history together. WATER WITH BETTER CONTEXT PotPal combines the plantโ€™s profile with season, light, pot, location, temperature, humidity, and your last observation to suggest a care window. Feel the soil before you waterโ€”your observation comes first. REMINDERS THAT DO NOT NAG Get a gentle reminder when a plant may need attention, not a rigid schedule that ignores real conditions. WATCH IT GROW Record watering, notes, and changes over time. A simple report turns small acts of care into a growth story. PotPal offers observations and suggestions, not plant disease diagnosis or guaranteed outcomes. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
