Questions we keep getting

Is this a native app I have to download from the App Store?

Nope. It's a web app that installs to your phone home screen in one tap. No App Store, no 30% Apple tax, updates instantly. It runs offline just like a regular app.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes. Once installed, every plant, every calendar, every feature works in the garden shed with zero reception.

What regions does it cover?

8 climate regions across New Zealand: Northland, Auckland, Waikato & Bay of Plenty, Wellington & Lower North Island, Nelson & Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago & Southland, and Central Otago. Each has its own planting calendar tuned to local conditions.

My area isn't listed. Will it be added?

More regions are on the way. Sign up for updates and we'll let you know when yours is ready. Your Lifetime licence covers every region we add, forever.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The free version has the core planner and is fully usable today. Try it here.
