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 Right Home helps you decide between the homes you have actually walked through. Put what matters to you in order, and the app turns that order into weights. After each viewing, rate the home against your own criteria and say how it felt. The Right Home rules out any home that breaks one of your must-haves or deal-breakers, scores the rest, and tells you which home is ahead, by how much, and what would have to change for a different one to win. RATE A HOME RIGHT AFTER THE VIEWING Record what you noticed and how the place felt while you still remember it, criterion by criterion. YOUR PRIORITIES, IN YOUR ORDER Rank your criteria and the weights come from that ranking. Set must-haves, deal-breakers and a price ceiling you will not go past. THE FANLIGHT AND THE VERDICT See every home at a glance: which one leads, by how many points, and the one change that would flip the result. HEAD AND HEART How a home measured and how it felt stay two separate numbers, so you can see when a place you love is winning on feeling alone. SIDE BY SIDE Compare two homes criterion by criterion. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Everything you enter stays on your phone. An optional free account syncs your search to another device and restores a purchase. THE FULL SEARCH (optional in-app purchase) - As many homes as you see, not three - Every home side by side, not two - Partner Mode: you each rate separately, and neither sees the other's numbers until both are in - Ten years out: every home re-scored for the household you will be - What you keep giving up: what you actually compromise on, against what you said mattered - Second-visit changes, criterion by criterion - The two-days-later re-rate, from memory, before you look at your own numbers - Your decision brief, written in plain English from the app's own figures (needs a free account) - Export the decision sheet Choose the Search Pass (six months, does not renew) or Full Search (buy once, keeps working). Payment is taken once from your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Nothing renews and there is no trial period. The free version includes three homes with the whole method behind them. The Right Home is a decision aid for organizing your own impressions. It gives no financial, mortgage, legal or structural advice, makes no valuation, and is not a substitute for a home inspection.
