Fern Pilot

About this app

Most houseplants die from a watering can, not from neglect. Fern Pilot works out when each of your plants actually needs water — and then gets out of the way.

WATERING THAT FITS YOUR HOME
Tell Fern Pilot what a plant is, which room it lives in, how big its pot is and which window it sits near. It takes the species' own watering rhythm and bends it to your conditions: a small pot in a south window dries out far faster than a big pot in a shaded corner, and the schedule reflects that. Every plant's page spells out the reasoning, so you can always see why a number is what it is.

IT KNOWS ABOUT WINTER
Growth slows from autumn and roots drink far less, which is when most people overwater. Fern Pilot stretches every interval automatically when the resting season starts and tightens them again in spring. If your plants live somewhere that does not follow that pattern, you can override the season in Settings.

ONE TAP TO LOG
The Today screen shows exactly what is due, with a single clear action to water everything at once. Checked the soil and found it still damp? Tap "Still damp" and the next check moves out a couple of days — without pretending the plant was watered. Feeding, repotting, pruning and misting get logged too.

A RECORD WORTH KEEPING
Every care action lands on a month calendar so you can see your habits at a glance, and a weekly chart shows how much you have actually been doing. Record a plant's height and a health score now and then and the growth curve shows how it has done over months. Eight milestones track real progress: plants kept, waterings logged, care streaks, measurements taken and species variety.

THIRTY SPECIES BUILT IN
A searchable care guide ships inside the app — monstera, snake plant, boston fern, pothos, aloe, peace lily, orchid, string of pearls and twenty-two more, grouped into six care families. Each one lists its light and humidity needs, its summer and winter watering rhythm, whether it is toxic to pets, how demanding it is and a short piece of practical advice. Eighteen general care tips rotate on the Today screen.

COMPLETELY OFFLINE
No account. No sign-in. No adverts. No tracking. No notifications and no permission prompts of any kind. Fern Pilot has no network code at all — your garden lives in a database on your phone and nowhere else.
