Document and share your grow

Features & Capabilities

Bud is a visual diary for growers that consolidates journals, photos, and growth data into one organized place. It helps you track plant health, development, and techniques over time, supporting better yields and potency while keeping records private or shareable with the community.

Public journals can be viewed by anyone, and you can follow grows or other users to stay updated. Privacy matters, so all images are stripped of metadata before storage and sharing, helping you protect sensitive information. Feedback and discussion on strains, techniques, and setups are encouraged to help everyone grow better.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise easy journaling and a strong, helpful community, plus solid documentation and privacy for private diaries. However, repeated login/account problems, data loss, and crashes undermine reliability. Moderation concerns and requests for a block button are common, as are calls for export options and basic social features. Overall, the app is valued for journaling and community, but reliability and safety issues limit its appeal.

Pros

Easy to use and good at tracking plant journals
Strong, welcoming community
Private diary for personal archives
Solid documentation features (phases icons, good photo quality)
Long-standing app with years of active use and ongoing community involvement

Cons

Account/login reliability issues (account creation errors, password reset emails not arriving, being logged out with data loss)
Data loss and save problems (entries not saving, journals wiped, password reset frustrations)
Crashes and errors (crashes on startup, errors when adding photos, save button issues)
Moderation and harassment concerns (toxic users, lack of a block button, slow/moderation response)
Feature gaps/requests (exporting journals, block/reply features, basic social interactions like likes or DMs)

Recent reviews

I recently downloaded and started logging my grows. It kicked me out over the weekend and won’t send the password retrieval email. I cannot make a new account with the same email- so I’m stuck in a catch 22 of sorts. App is clunky beside that. It is what it is, and for free I’ll take it- but could use some major improvements. Hopefully they can get it dialed and it’ll be awesome. Wish I could get back into my old account!
