About Groundskeeper: Garden Care
Groundskeeper is the care-first way to keep your whole yard thriving: raised beds, vegetables, houseplants, lawn, trees, and shrubs, all in one place. Instead of another static garden diagram, Groundskeeper is built around a simple daily question: what needs doing today? Your home screen is a Today checklist that surfaces every watering, feeding, mowing, and inspection the moment it's due, so nothing slips. WHAT YOU CAN DO Today checklist. See what's due and overdue at a glance, check it off, or push it a day. Rain likely tomorrow? Groundskeeper flags it so you can skip the watering. Snap to identify. Point your camera at a plant to identify it, check a mystery bug, or diagnose a sick leaf. Groundskeeper turns the answer into a real care plan with scheduled tasks. Care plans that remember for you. Every plant, crop, and yard feature gets a recurring care schedule. Water every 2 days, mow every 5, inspect for pests every 2 weeks, and it all lands on your Today list automatically. Map your beds. Lay out raised beds and what's planted in each zone, with an optional satellite view of your actual property. Track soil pH. Log readings per bed or yard feature and watch them trend over time. Local weather, built in. Set your location once and get local highs, rain outlooks, and watering guidance. Reminders. Optional notifications so due tasks find you. Groundskeeper is free, has no ads, and never sells your data.

What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated August 26, 2026
Add a plant and Groundskeeper now tells you how it is doing, not just what it is. The moment it identifies your plant it also reads its condition from the same photo: healthy, stressed, or needs attention, with specific steps for what to do about it. A plant that turns up unwell files its first health check for you automatically. Health Check stopped asking for a photo you already took. Every photo on file for a plant, its portrait plus every past check, now sits right under the camera. Tap one and it diagnoses from that, no second trip out to the plant.
