Care.

Five kinds of reminder, a calendar that shows the month at a glance, and watering that accounts for your pot, your light, and the weather outside.

Reminders that fit the plant

Reminders that fit the plant

Water, fertilize, repot, prune, and mist. Water and feed reminders start from what the species needs, and one tap adopts the recommended schedule for any plant. Or pick 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days yourself. Set quiet hours so nothing buzzes at midnight, and let it run. Notifications are local to your phone, so they work with no signal at all.

  • Five kinds of reminder, set per plant
  • Starts from the species, or 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days
  • Quiet hours so the phone stays quiet
  • Local notifications, so they work offline
The whole month at a glance

The whole month at a glance

The care calendar lays out what is due, what slipped, and what is coming, as a month grid with an agenda underneath. Tap a day to see what it holds. It is the difference between a list of tasks and actually knowing how your week looks.

  • Month grid with an agenda view
  • Overdue surfaced rather than buried
  • Tap any day for what it holds
  • Logged care shown against what was scheduled
Watering that reads the forecast
Pl. IV · Smart watering
Free and Premium

Watering that reads the forecast

Save a plant and you get a rough watering estimate for a typical pot. Premium tunes it to yours: pot size and material, the soil, and the light in the room it lives in. Terracotta dries faster than glazed, a bright spot drinks more than a shady corner, and a hot dry windy week moves the whole schedule earlier.

  • A baseline estimate on any plant you save
  • Tuned to pot size, material, soil, and light
  • Adjusts to heat, rain, wind, and dry spells
  • Forecast data from Google Maps Platform
Before the weather turns
Pl. V · Weather and care

Before the weather turns

A hard frost is coming and you would rather know tonight than tomorrow. Frost and heat alerts give you the overnight low or the daytime high before it lands, so you can bring the tender ones in or give the thirsty ones an early drink. Free accounts see a dated heads-up that rough weather is on the way, and Premium is what turns it into an alert you actually receive.

  • Frost and heat alerts ahead of the weather
  • The overnight low or daytime high, before it lands
  • A free dated teaser, with the alert itself on Premium
  • Seasonal adjustments through the year
Go away without coming home to a mess
Pl. VI · Vacation mode

Go away without coming home to a mess

Vacation mode pauses every reminder for the dates you are away, then re-anchors your care to the day you get back, so nothing returns already overdue. It quiets the frost and heat alerts and the streak warnings too. Set it per device before you leave.

  • Pauses all reminders for a date range
  • Re-anchors care to your return day
  • Quiets weather and streak alerts too
  • A growth journal for notes and progress photos
