Not sure which one it is?
Take a photo as you add it. Plantempo suggests the species, offers a second guess when it's unsure, and sets its watering rhythm. The photo stays on as its portrait.

Water when
the soil says so.
Plantempo reads your local weather, asks you to touch the soil now and then, and learns how fast each plant really dries. One reminder a day, only when it counts.

It reads the sky
So you don't
have to.
And it learns
It expected dry. You found it damp. Now it knows.
When a plant is due, Plantempo asks you to touch the soil first. It shows your reading next to what it expected, and after a few checks each plant waters on its own learned rhythm, not a calendar.
Holding on longer than expected. Noted.
Learned rhythmOn your iPhone
Clever, and it never leaves your phone.
Three things Plantempo does with Apple's own tools, without sending a photo or a note anywhere.
In short
Each plant's journal, told in one paragraph: what it has been through, written by your phone from your own notes.
Ask Siri
“Hey Siri, water the monstera in Plantempo”, and it’s in the journal without opening the app. Ask what needs water today, or find a plant from Search.
Photo identification needs iOS 27 and In short needs iOS 26, both on an iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Siri works on any supported iPhone.
A plant's whole life
From a cutting in a glass to the star of the room.
Cuttings wait on the windowsill, in water or moss, until they root. Plantempo remembers when a plant got fresh soil, counts feeding in waterings, keeps track of which plant each one came from, and every species comes with its own care guide.
Every plant has a story
One square, one small act.

Before and now
Watch it grow.
Pick any two moments from a plant's journal, like the day it arrived or a year ago, and see them side by side or with a slider. Save the pair as one image to share.
Made to stay out of the way
Small, kind, and quietly yours.
No accounts, no feeds, no streak-shaming. Just the few things that help a garden thrive — and nothing that doesn't.
Gentle reminders
One calm nudge when a plant truly needs water — never a pile of red badges.

Private by design
Your garden lives on your device — synced through iCloud on iPhone, backed up to a folder you choose on Android. We never see it.
Questions
Good to know
- Is Plantempo free?
- Yes. There's no subscription, no in-app purchase and no ads. Everything is included from the first day.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There's no Plantempo account. Your garden stays on your device, synced through your own iCloud on iPhone, or backed up to a folder you choose on Android.
- How does it know when to water?
- It combines your local weather (heat, humidity and rain) with what you tell it about the soil, and learns how fast each plant really dries.
- Does it work on Android?
- Yes. Watering, reminders, the journal, cuttings, care guides and widgets all work on Android. Siri and the Apple Intelligence features are for iPhone.
- Can it identify plants?
- On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence and iOS 27, yes: take a photo while adding a plant and it suggests the species. The photo never leaves your phone.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Your garden, reminders and journal are always there. The weather refreshes when you're back online.
