About BonsaiLog: Bonsai Care Log
BonsaiLog is a calm, offline companion for your bonsai bench — built the way hobbyists actually want: no subscription, no account, and no cloud. Everything lives on your device, and your data is always yours to export. NEW IN 1.6 — CARE HEALTH • Every tree gets a Care Health score from 0 to 100, right on its card. • Tap a tree to see exactly why: an overdue watering, a schedule that is missing, a journal that has gone quiet, a growth timeline that needs a photo — every point is explained, with what to do next. • Your whole bench gets an average, so one glance tells you whether the collection is thriving or something needs attention. • Care Health scores your routine, not the tree — it is worked out entirely on-device from your own log. WHY BONSAILOG • One-time purchase — never a monthly fee for the basics. • 100% offline — works in airplane mode, on the balcony, in the greenhouse. • Private by design — no account, no analytics, nothing collected. CARE, SCHEDULED • Per-tree reminders for watering, fertilizing, repotting, pruning, wiring and more. • Recurring intervals or one-off dates, with a daily "Today" view of everything due — overdue first. • Quick-log buttons — tap Watered / Fed / Pruned and your schedule updates itself. • Complete or snooze a task from the notification without opening the app. • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget shows what needs care today. • Ask Siri to log a watering, or check what's due — hands still wet. SEASON-AWARE, NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL • A tree that drinks daily in July barely drinks at all in January. BonsaiLog suggests intervals that move with the season. • Set your hemisphere once — northern, southern, or tropical — and the whole app follows it. • Worked out on-device from the calendar. No weather service, no location tracking, no network. A JOURNAL THAT REMEMBERS • Every care action is recorded in a per-tree journal. • A photo growth timeline lets you watch a tree develop over months and years. • Pinch-to-zoom any photo full screen, and compare any two moments side by side — with the time between them. • Search and sort your collection: by what needs care first, name, species, or newest. KNOW YOUR SPECIES • A built-in, offline care reference for 36 common bonsai species — light, watering, repotting, pruning, wiring and difficulty. • Attach a species to a tree for sensible suggested reminder intervals. • General horticultural guidance — adjust for your climate and your tree. YOUR DATA IS YOURS (always free) • One-tap backup and restore of your entire collection in a single file. • Export a tree's full journal as text — a keepsake you can keep forever. • No lock-in: back up, move on, come back anytime. BONSAILOG PRO (optional, one-time — not a subscription) • Unlimited trees (free keeps up to 3). • The full 36-species care reference. • Polished PDF journal export. Backup, export, care reminders, Care Health, the widget and Siri support are free forever and never locked behind Pro. Species information is general guidance compiled from public horticultural knowledge, not a guarantee.

What’s new
Version 1.6 · Updated September 11, 2026
Care Health — know at a glance which tree needs you. • CARE HEALTH — Every tree now has a 0–100 Care Health score on its card, and your bench gets an average. Open a tree and the score explains itself: an overdue watering, a missing schedule, a journal that has gone quiet, a timeline that needs a photo — every point listed, with what to do about it. Worked out on-device from your own log; nothing leaves your phone. • A clearer upgrade screen that says plainly what Pro is: one payment, not a subscription, no account. • A shorter welcome: four screens and you're on a bench with two sample trees. • Fixed a photo that could draw over the details underneath it on the tree Overview and growth timeline. As always: 100% offline, no account, no subscription — and backup, export, reminders, the widget and Siri stay free forever.
