Grovekeeper turns dated photos of your trees and plants into a living record, then hands you the two or three jobs that actually matter this week. No spreadsheets, no guesswork, no forgetting why you netted the figs last autumn.
Free for up to 5 trees, no card. Cultivate from $4.99/month when you grow past it.

Built by a grower for growers. Honest, early, and made for the way home gardens and orchards actually run.
You know which plum cropped well and which one sulked, which corner the frost finds first, when the roses want their hard prune. You meant to get to it, and you would have, if the weekend had not got away from you. The photos are scattered across your camera roll, the jobs are scattered across your memory, and every spring you half start again.
Grovekeeper gives your garden a memory of its own, and turns it into a short, honest list of what to do next.
Grovekeeper reads the weather, your photos and your own notes, then turns all of it into the few jobs worth doing this week. The intelligence is in service of the work, not on show.
It reads your local forecast, temperature, rain and wind, and times jobs to it. A dry window to spray, a calm morning to net, a frost worth beating.
Every photo gets an AI read against fruit and plant playbooks: leaf yellowing, fruit set, the first sign of a pest, before you would have spotted it.
Not a backlog. The week's jobs are ranked by what actually matters now, each with a plain why-now and a window to do it in.
Confirm a finding and it sticks. The longer you use it, the better it knows your patch, your microclimate and your particular plants.
Installs to your phone and keeps working with no signal, so you can log a tree and tick off a job out where the reception runs out.
Tasks follow your local season and hemisphere, so spring lines up whether you garden in Northland or the north of Scotland.
Local forecast data from MetService. Photo and ranking intelligence runs on request, never in the background without you.
01 · Observations
Snap a photo from your phone and tag it to the tree or bed. Grovekeeper files it by date and reads what it sees, leaf yellowing, fruit set, the first sign of a pest, so a passing glance becomes a record you can actually use.

02 · Tasks
Not a hundred-item backlog. Grovekeeper ranks the few jobs worth doing now, each with a plain reason, a suggested day and a window, tagged to the right plants. Tick it off and it remembers you did.

Grovekeeper is not a generic plant database. It builds knowledge of your own patch, one photo and one correction at a time.
Photograph a plant whenever something catches your eye.
It diagnoses the shot against growing playbooks, your local season and the forecast.
Confirm a finding and it becomes a correction that teaches that plant.
Each week it ranks the few jobs worth doing, matched to the weather, with reasons and windows.
Plant-ID apps tell you what something is. Grovekeeper tells you what to do with the trees and plants you already have.
Commercial orchard software is built for spray diaries and compliance. This is built for a Saturday morning with the secateurs.
The longer you use it, the more it knows your garden. That record is yours, and you can take it with you.
Begin free with up to five trees and the whole record, notes and journal. When your patch grows past that, or you want the weather watching, the weekly plan and reminders, one honest price unlocks the lot.

No. It grew out of looking after fruit trees and it is still happiest there, but it works for anything you tend over the seasons, ornamentals, natives, hedges, roses, a whole lifestyle block. It is built around what you have planted, not what sits in a pot on the windowsill.
Not at all. The AI is built in. You photograph plants and tick off the jobs it suggests. If you can use a camera and a checklist, you can use Grovekeeper.
Yes. Tasks follow your hemisphere and local season, so a Northern Hemisphere spring lines up just as a Southern one does. It was made on a NZ lifestyle block, but the growing knowledge travels.
You do. Your photos, notes and plant history are yours, and you can export the whole record whenever you like. The accumulated history is the point, and it never gets locked away.
Grovekeeper installs straight to your home screen and runs like an app, offline-friendly and full screen. Native iOS and Android builds are on the roadmap.
Yes, on the Harvest lifetime plan. It is an optional toggle for the technical grower who would rather run photo diagnosis on their own AI key, with no monthly cap. On Sprout and Cultivate the AI is simply included in the price.
Plant the first photo this weekend. By next season you will wonder how you kept it all in your head.
