GardenBinder: Garden Journal

Plant tracker, planner & map

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

GardenBinder is the one place your whole garden lives: every plant, bed, photo, care task, seed packet, and season, kept together and carried forward year after year. Most gardening apps identify a plant or remind you to water a houseplant. GardenBinder is for the garden outside your door — the beds you built, the hydrangeas you planted three springs ago, the tomatoes that finally came in — and for everything you'd otherwise scatter across notes, photos, and memory. REMEMBER EVERYTHING • A profile for every plant: variety, where it lives, when it went in, how it's doing • Areas and beds that match your actual yard, so every plant has a place • A photo journal that files each harvest, bloom, project, and observation to its plant and bed • Growth and bloom tracking that becomes a history you never had to write SEE YOUR WHOLE PROPERTY • Draw your yard to scale: house, patio, paths, beds, trees • Tap any bed to open its plants, soil, and history • Pin journal moments where they happened KNOW WHAT TO DO • A care schedule that knows the season and shifts with the forecast • Today's weather translated into plain advice: water before the heat, hold off on spraying, frost is 40 days out • Overdue, due, and coming up, with one-tap done, right from the Home screen PLAN THE SEASON • A seed library with a sowing calendar counted back from your frost date • Chill, start indoors, direct sow, and harvest windows on one timeline • Sowings tracked from tray to bed, with germination rate and cost per seedling LOOK BACK • Memories: this week in years past, back on its anniversary • Then & Now comparisons of the same bed, years apart • Season recaps written from your own entries CAPTURE FASTER • Point the camera at a plant and let identification draft the profile; you review, then save • Photograph seed packets and receipts to fill in records (Premium) KEEP THE PRACTICAL RECORDS TOO • Supplies: what's in the shed, what's running low, where it's stored • Purchases: receipts, vendors, budgets, and what the season cost • Water: irrigation zones, rain barrels, gauge readings, and history against rainfall • Soil tests, amendments, mulch, and lawn care YOURS • Free to start: your first garden — 15 plants, 100 photos, beds and journal entries without limit, this season's story • Export everything as a complete backup, any time • Delete your account and all of its data in one step • No ads. No trackers. Already keep your garden somewhere else? Bring it in from a spreadsheet, a pasted plant list, or screenshots of another app, and review every plant before it's saved. Some features are part of GardenBinder Premium, an optional auto-renewing subscription (yearly or monthly). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Care reminders now arrive as push notifications on iPhone. • Search (the magnifier) works again. • The first-garden walkthrough stays visible until you finish it. • Journal entries written offline are kept until you're back online, not silently lost. • Photos the app can't read (such as some HEIC files) now show a notice instead of vanishing. • Importing a spreadsheet now checks that the file really is one. • Your subscription stays safe if you delete and recreate your account.
