I made this app as a simple way to monitor my garden. I wanted to not only be able to take notes and log images, but be able to look back on previous months and years at specific plant care events. For example, I made an entry of when I sowed my cucumber seeds (which was perfect timing), and will be looking back at that entry next year to try and replicate it. Gardening is an ongoing learning process and GrowNotes is designed to make that process easier.

User Reviews

GrowNotes is praised for its simple, calendar-linked journaling, with per-plant entries, notes, and photos that are easy to organize. It shines for year-to-year tracking and scalable features via Pro. AI-enabled care tips appear to help some users but others want to opt out. Reliability concerns have been raised, including data loss incidents and occasional crashes. Overall, it’s a solid, user-friendly garden journal with room to improve stability and AI controls.

Cons

AI features are present with mixed reception; some users want an opt-out option.
Reliability issues noted: past data loss/glitches and occasional crashes.

You’d think it wouldn’t be hard to find a simple way to document your gardening to look back on year after year and see what works and what doesn’t… but everything is geared towards garden planning or plant ID or crazy AI systems. This is exactly what I need… a garden *journal* so next year when I wonder when my hellebores are going to bloom I can look back to this year, and when I’m wondering where the heck my bleeding hearts went, I can remind myself that they go dormant mid summer. Thank you, dev, for creating this lovely, not overcomplicated tool and I look forward to using it for years to come.

This app seems like it has promise, and I like the design, but the basic version is too limited. I would love to upgrade to pro and unlock multi-plant entries (which honestly seems like a pretty baseline feature), but I am so deeply tired of AI being shoved into every single thing, often without any ability to opt out. I don’t want ✨AI growing tips✨ I just want a place to keep track of my own plants, with my own brain & hands. Ditch all the AI and I’d absolutely subscribe.
