About Fern Timer: Plant Watering
FernTimer reminds you when each plant needs water, mist, fertilizer or repotting, and the reminders actually arrive.
No subscription: every core feature is free, and Pro is a single $3.99 purchase.
REMINDERS THAT WORK
• One morning summary of everything due, plus an alert per plant with Done and Snooze right in the notification
• Gentle nudges if something is overdue
• Reminders arrive even when the app is closed, and are set up again after a restart or time-zone change
• Reminder health check, plus a battery guide for phones that delay reminders
YOUR PLANTS, YOUR SCHEDULE
• Starting schedules for tropicals, ferns, succulents, herbs and more, all editable
• Water, mist, fertilize and repot, each with its own interval, or switched off
• Watered it yesterday? Mark it "Done on…" any past date and the next date follows
• Winter mode stretches watering intervals for the slower months
• Rooms, notes and a care history for every plant
• Water every plant due in a room with one tap
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Works offline. No account and no sign-up. Your plants stay on your phone.
• Back up to a file and restore it, at no cost
• Android's own backup can copy your garden to your Google account
FREE VERSION
• Holds 15 plants and shows a small ad on the home screen
• A basic home-screen widget with the plants due today
• An optional Sunday summary of the week
• Optional short videos: watch one to add 1 more plant slot (up to 5 extra), or to try every Pro feature for 24 hours. It's always your choice, and there are no ads during those 24 hours.

• Growth photo journal with a before/after view
