A plant diary that keeps every change in context
Keep photos, notes, and care activity attached to the plant they belong to. Each dated entry adds to one private household record instead of disappearing into a camera roll or chat.

One record per plant
Give the history a useful home.
A plant profile keeps its identity, place, setup, journal, care notes, and completed work together. The details are records you enter—not professionally verified botanical facts.
- Identity
- Nickname and optional species
- Place
- Room and measured or preferred light
- Background
- Acquisition date and planting type
- Growing setup
- Pot and soil category
- Your note
- A user-entered toxicity field
A dated photo-and-note timeline
Add the observation you have—not a form you do not need.
A journal entry may be a note, a photo, or both. Verdiary shows entries newest first, and the most recent journal photo becomes the plant’s cover image.
Photo
Add a visual update without having to write a caption.
Both
Keep the picture and its context in one entry.
The diary does not currently align photos, measure growth, generate comparisons, or make time-lapse videos.
Care beside the journal
Remember what changed—and what you did.
Reminder completions become care history for the plant. You can also log an ad-hoc action without creating a schedule, then read those actions alongside the diary.

Find the plant before you lose the thought.
Photo-forward cards make the collection easy to scan. Search by name or species, sort by added date or name, and filter or group plants by room.
Photo privacy and retention
The private diary stays inside its household boundary.
Plant photos are delivered through authenticated, household-scoped endpoints. They do not become Neighbourhood posts automatically.
An allowed community projection can be published only after an explicit sharing step; the underlying household plant record remains separate.
Understand household accessLocation metadata removed
Server-side re-encoding strips EXIF data, including embedded GPS coordinates.
Household-scoped delivery
An authenticated request must belong to the active household.
Deletion removes the file
Deleting a photo entry or its plant also removes the stored photo bytes.
Plant diary FAQ
What the diary does today.
Direct answers about entries, access, photos, and the current product boundary.
Can a journal entry be photo-only or note-only?
Yes. An entry may contain a photo, a note, or both. That makes it useful for a quick visual update as well as a longer dated observation.
Can I delete a journal entry?
Yes. You can delete an entry. When an entry with a photo is deleted, Verdiary also removes that photo from storage.
Are photo locations removed?
Yes. Uploaded photos are decoded and re-encoded on the server, which removes embedded EXIF data including GPS location metadata.
Can people in my household see the diary?
Yes. Plant records belong to the active household, so its authorized members can see them. They are not public Neighbourhood posts unless someone explicitly shares an allowed projection.
Does Verdiary make time-lapse videos?
Not currently. The diary is a newest-first timeline of dated entries; it does not align photos, measure growth, or generate comparison reels or time-lapse videos.
