PotPal is the plant buddy that reminds you, keeps you company, and helps you actually keep your plants alive. It works right out of the box, and the core features are free.
Snap a photo and it identifies the species, reads the environment, and sets up a watering schedule automatically — no sign-up, no configuration, and no API key of your own required.
When it's time, it sends one gentle nudge — plants due the same day are combined into a single reminder, never one-per-plant spam. Touched the soil and it's still damp? Tap "Snooze — not dry yet" and you decide, instead of being pushed to overwater.
Every plant gets a living PotPal character that breathes, blinks, and shifts expression with its state — perky, thirsty, droopy, or freshly watered. You can tell how it's doing at a glance.
FEATURES
- Snap to identify: recognizes the species and environment and sets the plant up automatically — built-in AI, free, no configuration
- A watering schedule tailored to species, pot, light, season, and your local weather — not one-size-fits-all
- Reminders that don't spam: one a day, due plants combined
- "Snooze — not dry yet": you feel the soil and decide (almost no app does this)
- A living character that blinks, reacts, and changes mood with watering status
- Plant encyclopedia and a daily care tip
- "Ask it": a care assistant that knows your specific plant
- Growth journal: photo check-ins and automatic milestones
- Care done right: dry-first by default — overwatering is the #1 killer
PRIVACY
Your plant records and growth journal stay on your device. Photo identification and chat are handled by our built-in AI service — photos are used only for that request, not stored, and never used for anything else. Core features are free, with no aggressive paywall.
Snap a photo and meet your first green buddy.

Welcome to 1.2 — your home screen is now a windowsill garden:
· The plant that needs you most steps onto the stage and tells you how it feels; "I watered" / "Still moist" sit right at its feet

· Plant detail pages get a vine timeline and a moisture ring
· Reminders adapt to your home: every "still moist" snooze gently tunes the watering cycle

· A seasonal care heads-up when seasons change
· Fixed: photo viewer occasionally opening black on first tap
