Plantline: Plant Genealogy

Keep track of where your plants came from, the cuttings you've grown and how they change over time. Up to 10 plant records, free. No account needed.

Plantline is a notebook for your plant collection. Keep the details that are easy to forget: where a plant came from, when you repotted it, or which plant a cutting came from.

Start with a name and fill in the rest when you know it. Your records, photos and growing notes stay together on your iPhone or iPad.

Plant records and family trees Save species, cultivars, sources and who has each plant now. You can leave an unknown acquisition date blank and check the history of changes to a record.

Record cuttings, divisions, seedlings and crosses, then link them to their parent plants. Follow air layers until separation, or record the rootstock and scion used in a graft.

Photos and everyday notes Add dated photos and compare two shots of the same plant. Note repotting, rooting, observations and plants you've passed on to someone else. The calendar holds dated notes and one-time tasks. You can also make a card with a plant's history to share.

A place for what you've learned Keep your own growing notes in the experience notebook. Eight short lessons and a fictional practice garden introduce basic breeding ideas. The garden is a learning simulation, not a prediction of what real plants will produce.

Local records, with export You don't need an account, and the main record-keeping features work offline. Export your records and original photos as a ZIP with JSON and CSV files. Cloud sync and importing exported files are not available in this version.

Reference links and your notes are saved on your device. Websites open outside Plantline in your browser. Opening websites, using Apple Visual Look Up, and making or restoring purchases require internet access. Text recognition for plant labels runs on your device.

Free for up to 10 plant records The free version includes family trees, photos, the calendar, notebook, lessons, practice garden and export. The limit counts records you haven't deleted, including plants you've passed on.

Need more records? Lifetime removes the limit with a one-time in-app purchase. It isn't a subscription.

Plantline keeps the origins and relationships you enter. It doesn't verify a plant's identity or provenance, or diagnose plant health.
