About this app
What Seedstart does
Seedstart turns your last frost date into a complete, personalized seed-starting calendar for every vegetable in your garden. Pick your crops from a curated catalog of 24 vegetables, and Seedstart does the math — showing when to sow indoors, when to transplant, and when to direct-sow outside, all anchored to your actual local frost date. A clean home screen surfaces this week's tasks so you never miss the perfect sowing window. Tap any crop for its full schedule, add notes on your seed packet, and mark tasks done as the season rolls forward. Everything lives on-device, works offline, and requires no account or subscription. • One-time frost-date setup, personalized to your zip or entered manually • Catalog of 24 common vegetables with expert-reviewed timing data • Auto-calculated indoor sow, transplant, and direct-sow dates • Weekly task list with tap-to-complete tracking • Crop detail view with schedule timeline and planting notes • 100% offline — SwiftData, no network, no account ever

What's different
How Seedstart stands out
