Ivy

Everything Ivy does

Ivy does a lot. This page lists all of it, grouped by the job it does for you. Every item is in the app today.

Know your plants

Identify from a photo.
One photo gives you species candidates with how sure Ivy is. Pick one or type your own.
Add in bulk.
Photograph a shelf's worth of plants. For each one Ivy identifies the species, estimates pot size, drainage, soil type and health, and proposes a care schedule. Expand to adjust, then save them all.
Import from CSV.
Upload a spreadsheet, map the columns, review, import.
A nickname and a profile.
Species, room, pot, soil, light, water needs, tags, and a nickname Ivy can suggest.
Species notes.
Ivy writes a care profile per species (watering range, light, humidity, common trouble) and keeps it for every plant of that kind.

Care, scheduled by reasoning

A starting interval from the species.
Then adjusted for your pot and drainage, your soil, your room's light and temperature, and the season. The result stays inside the species' range.
Weather every morning.
Local forecast from Open-Meteo for your location. Balcony plants skip after rain and come forward in heat; indoor plants ignore the rain.
Learning from you.
When you water on time, the gaps you keep become the schedule. Late waterings are ignored on purpose: they say when you remembered, not what the plant needed.
Suggestions with reasons.
Ivy never changes an interval silently. It proposes, shows why, and you accept, dismiss, or say never for that plant.
Hydro, too.
Refill, flush, top up, replace water, clean the vessel, add nutrients.

The daily list

Today, in one list.
Water, fertilize, mist, rotate, prune, repot and the hydro tasks, with what is overdue first.
Done, snooze or skip.
Snooze to tomorrow or any date. Skip moves the task along without counting.
Fertilizing counts as watering.
Because liquid feed is water. Ivy logs both.
Next action per plant.
On a plant's page, the one thing it needs next with a "do it now" button.
Calendar sync.
Subscribe in Apple or Google Calendar; each day's tasks show up as an event at the time you choose.

Ask Ivy

A conversation that knows your collection.
Every plant, every room, your water profile, and what you tried last time.
Text, voice or photo.
Dictate on the way out of the door. Send a photo of the leaf.
Bulk actions in plain language.
"Mark everything in the hall as watered", "move the shelf to the bedroom", "water the balcony less often". Ivy shows the exact plants in a preview; you confirm.
Threads.
One per plant for the long conversations, and a general one for the whole collection.

Keep them healthy

Scan a room.
Photograph plants in a batch. Ivy reports what it sees on each one and offers the next step: prune, fertilize, repot. Accept, and it goes on today's list.
Diagnose one plant.
A photo plus its history: when it was last watered, repotted, moved.
Repot assistant.
When a plant is due for a bigger pot, Ivy works out the soil mix from your inventory (perlite, potting mix, coco coir and the rest) and the pot size to move to, and tells you how.
Inventory.
Your soils, amendments and fertilizers, recognized from a photo of the bag.
Water profile.
Tap, filtered, rain; hard or soft. Ivy uses it in answers and schedules.

Away from home

Travel mode.
Enter your dates. Ivy prepares a plan per plant, flags the ones that need real attention, and suggests self-watering setups where they help.
Caretaker link.
One link for the person who drops by. No account, no app: they open it, see the plan, tick what they did, and Ivy logs it for you.

Out in the world

Hunt.
Snap what you spot on a walk. Ivy identifies it, keeps the location, and adds it to a discovery log. Share a hunt report.
Radar.
Species worth looking for next, based on what you already keep.

What needs attention now, in one screen.
Trends.
Charts of care activity, hydration, and how your intervals are drifting.
History.

A story per plant.
Photos over time, repottings, health reports.
