Botano - Plant Growth Journal

A photo journal for your plants — and the long image it makes
is the point.

Take a photo of a plant now and then. Months later, those photos stack
into one tall image: newest at the top, reading down into the past.
A single picture that shows how far it has come. Share it anywhere.


WHAT IT DOES

Long image
The app samples a plant's photos across the whole span and builds one
vertical image, with the date in the corner of each. Nothing is cropped.
The timeline is the point, and cutting the top off a plant would hide
the growth.

Grid collage
A square grid of up to 16 photos, with the date range along the bottom.
Where the long image proves time, the grid shows how many faces one
plant has.

Plant records
Watering, fertilising, repotting, medium changes — each with a date and
an optional note.

Watering reminders
Set an interval per plant or per group. Optional, and deliberately
quiet. This is somewhere to record, not an app that nags.

Camera and album
Shoot inside the app, or import from your gallery. Photos taken here
are also saved to your normal photo album, so they are never trapped
inside one app.

Backup
Export everything — records and photos — as a single file, and import
it back on a new phone.


PRIVACY

No account. No sign-in. Your photos and notes never leave your device;
they appear in no network request. The app goes online for two things
only: loading ads, and verifying a membership purchase.


FREE AND MEMBERSHIP

Free: track up to 10 plants at a time, with a banner ad. Previewing a
long image or a grid is always free and unlimited — saving or sharing
one unlocks for 24 hours after a short rewarded video.

Membership: one payment, not a subscription. Removes every ad and the
10-plant limit, permanently.


NOT ONLY PLANTS

A grid after a dinner out. A child, once a year. Anything you want to
see change.
