Garden apps that respect your privacy
Three iPhone apps built by a hobbyist gardener who also happens to write code. No accounts, no cloud lock-in, no tracking — your garden data lives on your device, full stop.
A class-aware pocket reference for rose growers — because a rambler and a floribunda don't prune on the same calendar. 30+ named cultivars, a per-plant journal, and pruning, feeding & deadheading reminders tuned to your climate zone.
Plan raised beds square-foot by square-foot. Drop plants from an 87-plant catalog with companion notes, set your frost dates so the app tells you exactly when to sow, and log every harvest by weight or count.
A calm, offline reference and journal for orchid growers. Browse 12 genera and 34 species, then get genus-aware watering, feeding and reblooming reminders — because a Phalaenopsis, a Cattleya and a Dendrobium don't follow the same care calendar.
Your garden data never leaves your device.
Most "free" garden apps pay for themselves by harvesting your data. These don't. There's no backend to phone home to — the apps couldn't read your data even if we wanted to. You buy once (or download free), and that's the whole transaction.
- No account or signup — open the app and start
- No analytics, crash reporters, or tracking SDKs
- No advertising and no data resale
- iCloud sync (where offered) goes to your iCloud, not ours
- One-time purchase — no subscription, ever
Built by a gardener who codes.
I'm Gorik — a hobbyist gardener and indie developer. I killed enough roses to build a class-aware rose-care app, and over-planted enough beds to build a square-foot planner. These started as tools I needed myself, which is why they're private by default and free of the subscription nonsense.
If something's missing or broken, I actually read the feedback. Both apps are part of GFC Software Studio, where I document what I build in public.
