About this app

What Sprout does

Sprout is the calm, on-device notebook for the houseplant keeper and the small-yard gardener. It is not a subscription. It is not a referral funnel. It is not a social network. It is a place to log what you have, remember when to water it, scan the nursery tag, and figure out what's wrong when the leaves start to do something strange. What ships in v1: — Garden register: every plant gets a card — name, species (from a built-in library of ~80 common species), location (kitchen window, back yard, balcony), date acquired, light preference, watering rhythm, and a photo. — Nursery-tag scanner: snap the plastic tag that comes from the nursery. On-device Vision OCR pulls out the species, watering instructions, and light requirements so you don't have to type. — Care schedule: set a watering cadence per plant (every 3 days, weekly, biweekly). Sprout schedules local notifications so you actually remember the rosemary. — Photo growth log: drop one photo per week into a plant's timeline. Watch it grow back from a brush-trim. Watch when the spider mites took it. — Symptom diagnostic tree: yellowing leaves, brown spots, wilt, leggy growth, pest damage. Sprout walks you through ~30 likely causes (overwatering, underwatering, low light, root-bound, spider mites, fungus gnats, fertilizer burn, hard-water salts) and gives a calm fix for each — all from a bundled knowledge base, no AI black box. — Species library: a built-in reference for ~80 common houseplants and small-yard species. Origin, ideal light, watering frequency, toxicity to pets, fertilization rhythm, common problems. — Garden journal: free-form notes by date so you remember what you tried. — Privacy by default: no account, no analytics, no cloud, no third-party SDK. Plant photos, OCR text, notes — all stay on this device. — Completely free: no IAPs, no subscription, no "Pro," no unlock. Sprout is for the person who keeps killing the basil and wants to figure out why, and for the person whose grandmother's ficus has survived three apartments and deserves a proper log.
