Reminders that adapt
Set a watering rhythm per plant: every few days, or a fixed weekday. Verdiary tracks what is due and rolls it forward when you mark it done.
🌿 Free · open-core · self-hostable 
Keep every plant thriving.
Verdiary is your plant diary. Track your collection, get watering reminders that adapt to each plant, and watch them grow. The tracker is free, and always will be.
No credit card. Your data stays yours.
Everything your plants need, in one calm place
Reminders, a real calendar, a photo journal, plant ID. The things other trackers put behind a paywall, free in Verdiary.
Your whole schedule, at a glance
A month calendar, a task list, and a care timeline that lays every plant on its own lane across the days. A view no other tracker ships.
Watch them grow
Keep a dated photo journal for each plant and look back on months of progress. Your photos, stripped of location data on upload.
Know what you’re growing
Identify a plant from a photo and auto-fill its species and basic care, so a new arrival is logged in seconds.
Organized your way
Group plants into rooms, record pot size, soil, light needs and toxicity, and find anything in a tap.
Share the care
Invite your partner into your household, or hand a plant-sitter time-limited access while you’re away.
A care timeline nothing else has
Most trackers stop at a “today” list. Verdiary lays every plant on its own lane across the days ahead, colour-coded by task, so a glance tells you the week, not just today.
Free, open, and yours
The tracker is open-core and built to run on your own server with nothing but Postgres. No lock-in and no data mining. Export or self-host whenever you like.
🔒 Your data, your server 🧩 One container + Postgres 🌍 Privacy-first by design 🆓 Tracker is free
Coming soon · human-powered
Stuck on a plant? Ask a real human.
Soon you'll be able to send a photo and a question and hear back from an experienced plant grower, right inside Verdiary. A real person every time, never an AI and never a chatbot. Optional and pay-as-you-go, for the moments a second pair of (human) eyes is worth it.
The tracking stays free. Your collection, reminders, calendar and journal are free forever, hosted or self-hosted. A human expert is the one thing you can choose to pay for, and only when you want it.
