Principles

Designed like a notebook you never want to lose.

Rootnotes keeps the long story of your plants: the light changes you tried, the soil you loved, the leaf that finally unfurled. It remembers quietly, so your attention can stay with the living things.

Companion, not coach

Guidance without pressure. A steady place to return to whenever you have a moment.

Continuity over reminders

A living timeline that shows what happened, not what you missed.

Simple, observational language

Notes and photos over metrics. Gentle prompts instead of pushy alerts.

Journal

A soft place for noticing

A calm journal where small moments add up. Log care in a tap, add a photo when something changes, and leave notes you will be glad you kept.

Watering, fertilizing, repotting — each logged with a single tap. Add a journal note with photos whenever you notice something worth keeping. No forms. No friction. Just a quiet record that grows.
