"Yellowing leaves? Let's investigate…"

Every plant app tells you the same thing.

"Bright indirect light. Water when the top inch is dry. Repot every 12-18 months."

That's the same advice for your fiddle leaf that lives in a north-facing hallway, and mine that gets four hours of afternoon sun on a west windowsill. It's not personal. It's not contextual. And it's why people kill plants they shouldn't have.

Planterra was built to fix that.

Care that knows where your plant actually lives.

☀️

Sun mapping — the feature no other plant app has

Point your phone through each window once. Planterra captures the compass direction, then tracks the sun's real path across your home every day. It knows when your kitchen window peaks (11:20 AM), how much light your bedroom actually gets in winter, and which of your six spots is best for a Monstera. Then it uses that data to keep every plant in the right place — indoors, and outdoors on your balcony too.

🩺

An AI Plant Doctor that reads your setup

Yellow leaf? Suspicious spot? Chat with the Doctor. Unlike a chatbot, it has your plant's photo history, its assigned window, and its care log. Answers are grounded in your actual plant, not the generic internet.

🌦️

Watering that adapts to weather

Outdoor plant on a balcony? Planterra checks the real forecast. Heat wave means more frequent watering. Heavy rain skips today's reminder. Your reminders track reality, not a rigid calendar.

Discover new plants that would thrive

Point your camera at any spot in your home. Planterra reads the light and suggests plants that would genuinely love it — not just the "top 10 easy houseplants" everyone recommends.

📖

An Atlas of every plant you've ever noticed

Snap plants you spot on walks, hikes, and holidays. Planterra identifies them and saves them with their location, so you build a personal botanical journal over time.

How it works.

01

Add a plant

Take one photo. Planterra identifies the species, sets a care schedule tailored to it, and remembers everything.

02

Map your windows

Walk to each window, point your phone, tap once. Planterra learns your home's light in about a minute per window.

03

Get real advice

Reminders that adapt to your weather. A Doctor that knows your setup. Suggestions grounded in the light you actually have.

Because we kept killing plants.

The "bright indirect light" advice is fine if you're a botanist who knows exactly what your apartment does with light. For the rest of us, it's a coin flip.

We built Planterra because our own plants kept dying in spots we thought were bright enough. The app takes what botanists already know and pairs it with data about YOUR specific home — the same way a plant-savvy friend would, if you had one who lived with you.

Common questions.

Is it free?

Yes — the free tier includes plant identification, 1 tracked plant, 2 Doctor consultations per week, and 1 mapped window. Pro (€5.99/month or €39.99/year, billed via Apple) unlocks unlimited plants, unlimited Doctor consultations, and full window mapping. New users get 7 days of Pro free to try everything.

Do I need to create an account?

No account, no sign-up, no email required. Just install and start. Your plants live on your phone; we don't have a server that stores your data.

What about privacy?

Plant photos are sent to Anthropic (the AI) only for identification and Doctor chats, and are not retained. Your location is sent to a public weather API to fetch conditions. Everything else lives on your device. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Read the full privacy policy.

Does it work outdoors too?

Yes. Mark a plant as living outdoors and Planterra switches to weather-driven care — more frequent watering during heat waves, skipped reminders after heavy rain, plus species-specific advice from the Doctor about seasonal outdoor suitability.

Which iPhones does it support?

iOS 26.5 or later. iPhone only for now — iPad and Apple Watch versions may follow if there's demand.

What if the plant identifier gets it wrong?

You can re-identify from the plant detail screen — take a fresh photo and pick the right species. Your care history stays intact. The AI gives you a confidence score and alternatives too, so wrong guesses are a one-tap fix.

Keep your plants alive.
