The honest plant-care app.

PlantWatch started from a simple frustration: plant-care apps were good at getting people into a trial and much worse at being clear about what stayed useful after the trial ended. Basic plant ownership should not require guessing whether watering reminders, journals, or care history are about to disappear behind a paywall.

The beta is built around the daily workflow indoor plant owners actually repeat: identify the plant, understand what it needs, remember what happened last, and catch problems before they become fatal. PlantWatch combines PlantNet species identification, Claude-powered care planning and diagnosis, private photo storage, and practical care guides into one product instead of scattering those jobs across separate tools.

The product philosophy is intentionally direct. Free basics are permanent: collection tracking, journals, schedules, reminders, care guides, and private records should remain available to every user. Pro is for deeper automation and heavier AI usage, and its launch pricing is published up front so users can evaluate the tradeoff before they are asked to pay.

PlantWatch is currently in beta as the web app and native mobile experience move toward store launch. Beta users get access to AI plant identification and health checks while the Pro tier is shaped with real usage data, support requests, and the edge cases that only show up when people track real collections in real homes.
