Reminders that respect reality
Check off a watering and the next one counts from the day you actually did it — not the day the app wished you had.
Plant care reminders for iPhone
Watering reminders shouldn't cost $36 a year.
Sproutly reminds you to water each plant on its own schedule — and that's it. Pay once. Works offline. No account. Your plants aren't a data product.

Free for 5 plants, forever. One $4.99 unlock for everything — that's the whole price.
Four ninety-nine.
Once.
Planta wants $35.99 every year to remind you to water a pothos. Over three years that's $108 — for a watering timer. Sproutly does the reminding brilliantly for one payment of $4.99, forever. No servers, no subscription to feed.

Nothing to collect
Works in a dead zone.
Silent as a houseplant.
Every feature works with no connection. No account to create, no analytics, no ads. Everything you make lives in a database on your phone and is never uploaded — the only thing Sproutly sends is an anonymous crash report when something breaks, so we can fix it. Airplane mode, basements, off-grid cabins: your reminders arrive anyway, because they never needed the internet.
Watering is just the start.
Every plant gets its own schedule for every kind of care — each with independent reminders that arrive at the hour you choose. Busy days coalesce into one tidy digest instead of seven pings.
- Water
- Fertilize
- Mist
- Prune
- Repot
Winter mode
Plants drink less in the dark months. Watering intervals gently stretch during the winter months you choose, with hemisphere-aware defaults.
A care journal per plant
Every completed task lands in the plant's history, with notes and photos — so you can see exactly when the fiddle leaf was last fed.
Two prices. Neither repeats.

Fair questions
- Is it really $4.99, once, forever?
- Yes. Sproutly is free to download and genuinely works free forever: 5 plants with watering reminders, no expiry, no trial that flips on you. One $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited plants, every care type, the care journal, and winter mode — permanently, future updates included. There is nothing else to buy.
- How is this different from Planta or Vera?
- Those apps bundle plant-ID AI, cloud sync, and "plant doctor" features — servers that cost money every month, which is why they charge a subscription every month. Sproutly is a reminder app that is brilliant at reminding, priced like a tool you buy once. See our honest comparison with Planta.
- Where is my plant data stored?
- In a local database on your phone. There is no account, no cloud, and no analytics — your plants are never uploaded anywhere. The only thing Sproutly ever sends is an anonymous crash report when something breaks, so we can fix it. Deleting the app deletes the data.
- What happens if I miss a watering?
- Nothing bad. Check it off whenever you actually do it, and Sproutly reschedules from that day — the way plant care really works. Busy day? Snooze it, guilt-free. No streaks, no shame.
- Does it work offline?
- Completely. Reminders are scheduled on-device, so Sproutly works in airplane mode, in basements, and in off-grid cabins. It never needs the internet.
- Is there an Android version?
- It’s on the way. The iPhone app ships first.
Try it free.
Grow forever.
The full unlock costs less than two months of a plant-app subscription.
