Botano - Plant Growth Journal

A photo journal for your plants — and the long image it makes is the point. Take a photo of a plant now and then. Months later, those photos stack into one tall image: newest at the top, reading down into the past. A single picture that shows how far it has come. Share it anywhere. WHAT IT DOES Long image The app samples a plant's photos across the whole span and builds one vertical image, with the date in the corner of each. Nothing is cropped. The timeline is the point, and cutting the top off a plant would hide the growth. Grid collage A square grid of up to 16 photos, with the date range along the bottom. Where the long image proves time, the grid shows how many faces one plant has. Plant records Watering, fertilising, repotting, medium changes — each with a date and an optional note. Watering reminders Set an interval per plant or per group. Optional, and deliberately quiet. This is somewhere to record, not an app that nags. Camera and album Shoot inside the app, or import from your gallery. Photos taken here are also saved to your normal photo album, so they are never trapped inside one app. Backup Export everything — records and photos — as a single file, and import it back on a new phone. PRIVACY No account. No sign-in. Your photos and notes never leave your device; they appear in no network request. The app goes online for two things only: loading ads, and verifying a membership purchase. FREE AND MEMBERSHIP Free: track up to 10 plants at a time, with a banner ad. Previewing a long image or a grid is always free and unlimited — saving or sharing one unlocks for 24 hours after a short rewarded video. Membership: one payment, not a subscription. Removes every ad and the 10-plant limit, permanently. NOT ONLY PLANTS A grid after a dinner out. A child, once a year. Anything you want to see change.

Adjust a photo before it goes in. Pick a single photo from your album and a crop screen opens first: drag the corners to set the area, drag the photo to move it, pinch to zoom. Choosing several at once imports them directly, as before. This helps when the shooting distance changed from one photo to the next — lining them up makes the growth easier to read in the tall image.
