Plant Vault
In development
Your garden, kept properly.
Plant Vault remembers every plant you have, when you last watered it and what's in the shed. It works offline, and your records can live in your own Google Sheet.
Android and iPhone
Not out yet. It's coming to Google Play and the App Store soon. Email me and I'll let you know when it is.
What it does
What it keeps track of for you.
-
Every plant, numbered
Name, variety, where it is, what it cost and when it went in. Fruit trees keep their rootstock and pollination group. Seeds keep their sowing date and days to harvest.
-
Care that turns up
A care guide for 298 common plants sets sensible watering and feeding, and one tap logs the job. A note each morning says what's due.
-
Frost and heat warnings
Weather for your own postcode from MET Norway, with a warning the evening before a frost.
-
Your kit, counted
Pots by size, or by litres worked out from the measurements. Feed by how much is left. Seeds, tools and netting.
-
Your sheet, your Drive
Link a Google Sheet and Plant Vault keeps it in step both ways. It can only see the file it made. Unlink it and everything stays on the phone.
-
Ask, if you want to
Plant Vault AI answers questions about your own plants, names a plant from a photo and works out what's wrong with a leaf. It's a subscription. The rest of the app is free.
What it costs
Plant Vault is free and has no adverts. Only the AI helper costs anything.
- Price
- Free

- Plant Vault AI, a subscription.
- Adverts
- None.
Every plant, the care guide for 298 of them, the reminders, the weather and frost warnings, the kit list and the Google Sheet link are all free, with no account to make.
The symptom checker is free too. A plant that is dying is the worst possible moment to meet a payment screen.
Plant Vault AI is a subscription, because it costs money every time it answers. It reads your own plants to answer questions about them, names a plant from a photo and works out what is wrong with a leaf.
It is the only part that is paid for, and the app is worth having without it.
Privacy and support
Your plants stay on this phone. Nothing leaves it unless you link a Google Sheet or ask the AI helper a question. The full privacy policy says exactly what is kept and what is sent.
