Generations is a guided family legacy journal that helps you capture the stories, life lessons, and traditions that define your family — before they fade. Built for the generation caring for aging parents while raising their own children, Generations turns scattered, fleeting memories into a permanent, searchable archive you can pass down for years to come. A DAILY PROMPT, NOT A BLANK PAGE Each day brings one meaningful question — "What was your first job?", "What would you tell your younger self?" — so starting is effortless and you keep coming back. THE LEGACY JOURNAL Every memory lands in a beautiful, chronological timeline. Search by name or keyword and filter by theme or family member. THEMED COLLECTIONS Group stories into Traditions, Lessons, Career, Hardship, and more — the silos that matter to your family. THE FAMILY TAPESTRY See every voice in your family and exactly how complete their story is — theme breadth, key scenes, life eras, and depth — with the gaps to fill next. A VOICE FOR EVERYONE Add profiles for parents, grandparents, and children, and link each memory to the people who lived it.

A nursery tag says "full sun" and means it for everywhere. Gardenory works out what that rating means in YOUR bed, at your latitude, on today's date. FULL SUN, HERE Tell Gardenory which way a bed faces, how big it is, and what stands near it. It computes the light that bed really receives, month by month — and it does not simply add up hours. Four hours of morning light on an east-facing bed carries roughly half the energy of four midday hours on a south-facing one, which is exactly why generic advice recommends tomatoes for beds that cannot ripen them. THE SUN RIBBON Watch the sun travel over your bed in plan view, with the shadow of your fence or maple sweeping across it. Drag through the day, or through the year. IDENTIFY A PLANT, HONESTLY Photograph a plant and Gardenory commits to an answer or tells you plainly that it is not sure. It will happily give you the genus rather than invent a species, it never guesses a variety from a photo — no photograph can separate one tomato cultivar from another — and it shows no accuracy percentage, because a number reads as certainty. It never tells you whether something is safe to eat. FOUR ANSWERS, NOT ONE ZONE Your hardiness zone describes winter cold and nothing else. Gardenory gives you winter minimum, summer heat days, season length and per-bed light as four separate answers, and says out loud what the zone cannot tell you. FROST AS A RANGE Published frost dates are probabilities, not deadlines. You get an even-money date and a safe date about a fortnight apart, and your own logged frosts replace the estimate over time. SOWING WINDOWS THAT SUBTRACT PROPERLY Indoor start including the germination lag most tools leave out, transplant, and a last safe sow date that subtracts days to maturity, the autumn slowdown AND your harvest window from first frost. ONE MESSAGE A DAY Everything due, batched into a single reminder at an hour you choose. Never one alert per plant. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent from a server. YOUR RECORD, EXPORTABLE Every date holds both a plan and what actually happened. Export the whole thing to CSV at any time, on any plan. FREE, ALWAYS Your beds, the sun model, the journal, the calendar, the zone card, frost dates, CSV export and 10 plant identifications a month. GARDENORY PRO (optional subscription) Rotation Guard, succession ladders, days-to-maturity learned from your own harvest dates, a variety leaderboard, the garden-centre fit check, seed-lot germination rates and unlimited identifications. - $3.99 per month or $24.99 per year, each with a 14-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings. Gardenory asks for no location permission and contains no GPS. It offers horticultural information, not professional agricultural or safety advice.
