Before and now.
Compare two photos.
Pick any two moments from a plant's journal — the day it arrived, fresh soil, a year ago — and see them side by side, or one over the other with a slider. Save the comparison as a single image, with its name and the time between them, ready to share.
Take them with you.
Any photo in a plant's gallery can now leave the app: save it to Photos or Files, or share it, from the full-screen view.
Recently deleted.
A plant or a journal entry you delete isn't gone at once. It stays 30 days in Settings › Manage your data › Recently deleted, photos and all, in case you change your mind.
If iCloud says no.
Should iCloud ever refuse to save a plant, Settings tells you which one and since when, instead of keeping quiet. Until it's in iCloud, don't delete the app.
Fixes.
Answering "Almost dry" no longer leaves today's reminder ringing. And what I write in the journal myself, like a welcome or a plant given away, can no longer be deleted by mistake.

Plantempo meets iOS 27.
Not sure which one it is?
Take a photo of the plant as you add it and I'll tell you what I think it is, with its watering rhythm already set. If I'm unsure, I'll offer a second one. You have the last word, and the photo stays on as its portrait. This happens in here: the photo never leaves your phone.
Ask Siri.
"Hey Siri, water the monstera in Plantempo", and it's noted in the journal without opening the app. Ask what needs watering today, or find a plant by its name, its species or where it lives — from Siri, Shortcuts or your phone's search screen.
In short.
Each plant's journal, told in one go: a paragraph about what it's been through, written by your own phone from your notes. When new things happen, you bring it up to date.
Both run on Apple Intelligence, inside your iPhone.
Moss poles, at last in the garden.
Mark the plant that has one and I'll remind you to dampen it. It rides inside the day's watering reminder, on the same line, never a separate one: the garden speaks once and that's it. Not sure whether it's time? Squeeze the moss and tell me how it feels, from dry to soaked.
The soil, first.
Before I call a plant watered, I'll ask you to touch the soil: that's how I learn its real rhythm.
The rhythm, on several at once.
To change how often they're watered, you no longer have to go in plant by plant.
And several fixes.
-
Your garden, now on iPad too.
The app lays itself out for the screen it's on.
The garden is searchable now: search and filters, to find a plant without going through the whole thing.
And several fixes.
-
The whole life of a plant.
Cuttings now have a place on the windowsill: each in its own vessel, in water or moss, until they root and move into a pot. And when a plant leaves the garden — you give it away, or it goes back to the soil — its journal and its photos stay. Adding a plant is four questions and a plate to hang, and every species tells you how to care for it and how to make more of it.
And underneath, a long sweep: less waiting when you add plants, and several tallies that now add up.
-
A garden with a window.
Your plants now sit on a sunlit windowsill, arranged by the day each one arrived — a small room that changes with the sky. Editing a plant and its photos is quicker and steadier. Plantempo also speaks Traditional Chinese now. And everywhere else: faster, calmer, more polished.
-
More plants to meet.
The catalog has grown. Next time you add a plant, there are more names waiting for you to find.

The first version.
