Beginner Seasoned

Launching on Kickstarter · October 2027

Be a founding grower.

plant's iOS app launches on Kickstarter in October 2027. Back it on day one to lock your rate for life, and carry the badge that says you were growing with us before the app existed.

We'll send the campaign link 30 minutes before it goes public. No spam, just the launch.

What you're backing

A growing companion that tells you what to do, the day it needs doing.

plant is a zone-aware app for backyard food growers. It knows your frost dates, watches your local weather, and turns the whole confusing calendar into one clear answer: what to do today. Free to start, with Plant Pro for growers who want more.

The build plan

What we'll grow together.

$25,000 puts the app in the world, and we expect to clear it on day one. Everything above it is the roadmap we grow into together. Each milestone is a real piece we're confident we can ship.

    The iOS app ships

    The core plant app in the App Store: a zone-aware calendar, your daily to-do list, plant tracker, frost alerts, harvest journal, and community. We expect to fund it on day one.

    The planting calculator

    Enter your bed size; plant uses each crop's spacing to tell you what fits and how many, dropping crops out as your space fills. Dead-simple, mobile-first.

The founding promise

Back plant now, and your Plant Pro rate is locked for life.

Plant Pro is $35 a year at launch. Back it on Kickstarter and that stays your price for as long as you're a member: no increases, no matter what we add. The web library stays free either way.

Your founding rate locks Plant Pro, including its AI advisor at a generous daily allowance, for life. Future premium tiers with heavier AI are optional and separate, and founding members get first access when they arrive.
