A garden-walk tool that photographs plants, requests identifications and care information, and saves the resulting walk for later review or sharing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

PlantScan stores walks in a local device library and can also produce HTML copies with timestamped filenames. Its workflow includes PlantNet confidence results, manual species overrides, a choice flow for uncertain matches, and social share cards containing a plant photo. The setup also distinguishes settings backups from full walk photos, which remain local, and offers an optional cloud token for syncing across devices.
