BonsaiGlobe

Every tree and every pot in one place: a dated photo journal, a timeline of the work, and one daily reminder when something is due. Synced privately through iCloud.

BonsaiGlobe is a record book for your bonsai collection. Every tree and every pot in one place, with the work you did, the day you did it, and the photographs to show it.

It is built for the collector who wants to know exactly what was done to which tree, and when. No social network, no advice, no account.

EVERY TREE, PROPERLY RECORDED Your own ID, common and botanical name, origin (seed, cutting, air layering, graft or yamadori), how and when you acquired it, tags and notes. A new tree is offered the next number in your scheme. Pick from a catalogue of more than 200 species and cultivars, or type your own.

A TIMELINE OF THE WORK Repotting, pruning, wiring, woodwork, fertilizing and defoliation, each with its own details: soil mix for a repotting, fertilizer for a feeding. Photos sit on the entry itself, so the before and after are next to the note.

WATCH THEM CHANGE A dated photo journal for every tree and pot, with captions. Pick any photo as the portrait and pinch to zoom into the bark.

A DAILY HEADS-UP One-off or recurring reminders per tree, optionally only during your growing season. One notification a day lists everything due. Mark it done or snooze it straight from the notification, and the care entry is logged for you.

FED THE WHOLE BENCH? Log one entry to many trees at once. Filter by tag, select all, save.

POTS DESERVE RECORDS TOO Maker, origin, shape, finish, material, colour and measurements, and the tree planted in each. A good pot outlives the tree in it.

WIDGETS, SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT A Tree of the Day widget for the Home Screen and a Reminders widget for the Home and Lock Screen. Ask Siri what is due, log a feeding, or mark the day done. Every tree is findable in Spotlight.

THE COLLECTION IN NUMBERS How many trees and pots, what was done this year, the tree that has been with you longest, and what is due.

WHEN A TREE CHANGES HANDS Hand a tree or pot over to another BonsaiGlobe user as a single file, photos and care journal included. Send it by AirDrop, Messages or Mail. They open it and it joins their collection under their own ID.
