What’s new
Version 1.8.1 · Updated October 5, 2026
Filter by garden area: if you have more than one garden area, a new row at the top of the Plants list lets you view all plants, a single area, or plants with no area. Variety on plant cards: each card now shows the plant's variety (or its type, if no variety is set) in place of the location text, and search now matches varieties too. Safer area deletion: deleting a garden area now moves its plants to "No Area" and tells you how many plants are affected before you confirm. Fix: long category labels in the filter chips are now shortened instead of being cut off.
