Know its name? Add it manually.

Tap + in My Plants to search by common name, scientific name, or alias. Pick a care entry to start with its defaults. If your plant is outside the catalogue, give it a name and choose your own watering, feeding, and repotting intervals. You can also choose Add manually after an uncertain identification.

Care intervals are starting points. Check your plant and soil, then adjust the schedule for its conditions.

Private by design

Your plant photos stay on your phone.

GreenThumb ships its identification engine inside the app — a compact vision model that matches your photo against a reference library of common houseplants, right on the device. Airplane mode on a windowsill in a dead zone? Still works.

The free app uses Google AdMob for ads. See our privacy policy for ad data use and privacy choices.

0

photos uploaded

Identification runs entirely on your phone's chip.

0

accounts required

Open the app, point at a plant. That's onboarding.

0

subscriptions

Free with ads, or $3.99 once to remove them. Forever.

Identification can be uncertain: we show a confidence score and alternative matches so you can compare them. If none looks right, add your plant manually and choose its care schedule. We think “probably this, possibly that” beats a confident wrong answer — and so does your plant.

What to expect

Simple terms. Everyday plant care.

All care features are included in the free app. The only purchase removes ads.

Free with ads. $3.99 once to remove ads; no subscription.
Plant identification
Likely matches for common houseplants, processed on your phone without uploading the photo.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Can I add a plant without identifying it?

Yes. Tap + in My Plants and search the care catalogue by common name, scientific name, or alias. Choose an entry for its default care intervals, or give an unsupported plant a name and set your own watering, feeding, and repotting schedule. Add manually is also available after an uncertain identification.

Is it actually free?

Yes. The free version has everything: unlimited identification, all care reminders, growth logs. It shows a banner in My Plants and occasional ads after identification. A one-time $3.99 purchase removes ads forever. There is no subscription and no other paywall.

Are my photos uploaded for identification?

No. The identification model runs entirely on your device. GreenThumb stores photos locally and does not upload them to a server. Your device's separate backup settings may include app data; see the privacy policy for details.

How accurate is the identification?

GreenThumb is designed for common houseplants, and matches can be wrong. It shows confidence and alternative candidates so you can compare them. Photo quality, lighting, and similar-looking species affect results; verify the match before relying on its care schedule.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email, no login. Install it and point it at a plant. Your plants and reminders live on your device.

Does it work offline?

Identification, care schedules, growth logs, and reminders work offline. Ads, ad privacy choices, and store purchases or restores need an internet connection.

Where can I get it?

GreenThumb is available on Google Play. The iOS release is coming soon.
