A garden app where everything has a source
A planner for beds, plantings and care. One thing sets it apart: nothing it tells you is invented — behind every claim there is an open register or a calculation from a published formula, and the app always says which one.
What it does
- Beds of any shape — trace them with a finger, they snap to the plot grid.
- Several crops in one bed, seedlings, perennials, fruit trees.
- Crop rotation: it warns you when a crop returns to a bed too soon.
- A log of watering, weeding, feeding and treatments — and reminders drawn from it.
- Sun and shade from trees and buildings: how many hours of light a particular bed gets.
- Weather for your plot: rain, frost, growing degree days, heat.
Where the data comes from
The catalogue of crops, varieties and pests is assembled by crawlers from open sources. It is free and will stay that way: this is open data, and selling it would be a strange thing to do.

The free version is a whole application, not a demo: one garden, beds and plantings with no cap on how many, the entire catalogue, reminders, the log, and an export of your own data. What the subscription adds →
Works without a connection
Everything except syncing between devices is computed on the phone. There may be no signal out on the plot — the app knows that.
