Know when to plant, wherever you garden. Dibble works out your local frost, heat and rain and builds a planting calendar for every crop, with a reminder when each task is due. No account, no forced trial, no plant limit on the free calendar, and your garden stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. Say where your garden is: use your location, search for your town or enter a postal code. Dibble works out when to start seeds indoors, direct sow, transplant and harvest each crop. PERSONALIZED PLANTING CALENDAR • Your local climate, your frost dates and a per-crop calendar in seconds • 78 crops: vegetables, herbs, flowers, berries and fruit trees, from tomatoes and garlic to dahlias and strawberries • Start-indoors, sow, transplant and harvest windows for your location • With Premium, the calendar adapts when this year's frost runs early or late, and shows you the evidence • Plans from your garden's exact location rather than a broad zone • Where frost only comes some years, Dibble says so and gives you a safe date for tender plants. Where it never freezes, it finds your cool or dry season instead SEASONAL REMINDERS • "Start tomatoes indoors now," "time to transplant," "time to harvest" • Mark a task done straight from the notification • One free frost warning a season, the evening before AT A GLANCE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with today's tasks, tickable without opening the app • Today's tasks on your Apple Watch • Find any crop or planting from iPhone search GARDEN JOURNAL • Note what you planted and how it is doing • Garden Wrapped, a recap of everything you grew this season ASK DIBBLE Quick planting answers in all eight app languages, worked out on your device from your own garden and its climate. GROW DEEPER (Premium) Try it first: choose a photo and Dibble suggests the most likely plant, pest or disease, as a best guess. Three a season are free. • Adaptive calendar: your dates start from the 30-year average and shift with this year's actual weather • Bed planner: one crop per square, with a neighbor check that flags clashes • Succession planting and crop rotation • Varieties and labels • Harvest and yield tracking, plus a seed inventory that reads packet photos • Perennials and fruit trees followed across years • Houseplant care, with watering, feeding and repotting reminders • Multiple gardens • Photos on journal entries • Live frost and rain alerts for your garden, with a frost Live Activity when you open Dibble on a frost night • Find the likely plant disease or pest from a photo you choose, with organic treatment steps, entirely on your device • Identify plants from a photo you choose, entirely on your device IN THE OFF SEASON Dibble switches to planning mode: a countdown to your next planting season, one tap to plan your best crops again, and a list of seeds to order. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, German, Arabic and Traditional Chinese, and available in many more countries. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Dibble is local-first: everything lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud. No account, no ad-tracking, no servers holding your data. Plant, pest and disease identification run entirely on-device, so your photos are never uploaded. Export a JSON backup (no photos) or a CSV of your plantings whenever you like, and restore a backup as a new garden on any device. Free includes the full personalized calendar, reminders, the complete crop library, journal notes, widgets, the Apple Watch app and one frost warning a season. Premium adds everything in the list above, as a monthly plan, a yearly plan with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Planting dates are estimates based on your garden's climate and typical local frost dates. Results vary by microclimate and weather, so always verify with your local cooperative extension before planting.
