why another app?

most grow journals were not built by growers.

they ask for an account, or push the cloud, or show ads. we did the opposite: everything local, the way a grower actually needs it.

no sign-up wall

open the app, you are in. no account just to log the first watering.

no forced cloud

your data stays on your phone. sync between devices only if you flip on premium.

no ads

a paid app at the cheapest store tier. nobody selling your data, nobody pushing banners.

more than photos

pH, EC, TDS, temperature, RH, feedings, prunes, transplants. all in the feed, all on the charts.

features

everything a grow journal needs.

built by growers, for growers.

crops and plants

organize by room, tent or garden bed. each plant has genetics, stage, its own timeline.

instagram-style feed

every event — water, prune, transplant — lands as a card on the home feed with photo and context.

environment charts

pH, EC, TDS, temperature, humidity. compare variables and see how environment shapes the cycle.

private photos

capture with the camera or import from gallery. images stay in the app sandbox — no external gallery sees them.

local reminders

recurring tasks (water, prune, feed) become push notifications on the phone, with no server in the middle.

sprays and ferts library

add once, reuse across every crop. quantities per plant with decimals.

export reports

generate a backup of the full crop with events, photos and charts — archive or share.

multi-light and outdoor

combine LED + HPS in the same crop, or mark it outdoor and follow the natural cycle.

lunar calendar

moon phases and planting windows right on screen — for the biodynamic crowd.

photos: total privacy

your photos never touch the phone's gallery.

in-app camera + import, protected sandbox, zero uploads. grow photos and videos stay invisible to the system gallery — even if someone picks up the unlocked device.

  • invisible to the system gallery
  • iOS / Android internal encryption
  • nothing leaves the device — 100% local

why GrowerHelper

what most grow journals just don't do.

a side-by-side of where GrowerHelper stands apart from the rest of the market.

truly 100% offline

open, log, chart and export a backup with zero internet. most competitors gate the first open behind a login — you become hostage to a network.

zero account, zero email

on first open the app spins up an anonymous local identifier. we never ask for name, email or phone. your data is not tied to an "account" — it's on your phone.

bluetooth sensors built in

read temperature, humidity and soil straight from Mi Flora, RuuviTag and the rest via BLE. no vendor app, no vendor cloud in between.

no trackers at all

zero trackers, zero pixels, zero heatmaps. we literally cannot tell what screen you opened.

4 languages, hand-written

pt-BR, en, es and nl — every locale written by the team, not run through an auto-translator.

photos only you can see

grow photos and videos live inside the app, protected by the phone's own encryption. the system gallery never sees them.

how you use it

everything on the phone. cloud when you want.

the app is complete on its own. premium is optional, and only makes sense if you want to sync between devices.

how it works

3 03 / 03

start logging
