Orchistry, for the greenhouse without a signal
An offline iPhone and iPad collection manager for orchid growers, with plant records, culture data, imports, show paperwork, and NFC or QR tags.
Field notes
The app is designed around collection maintenance rather than generic houseplant reminders: records can be imported from an existing spreadsheet, photographs can be batch-matched by filename, and taxonomy runs from alliance to genus to individual plant. It also connects bench work to show administration, exporting AOS entry and ribbon forms from plant records. The page says data stays on the device or in the user’s iCloud, with full collection backup and Excel export available.
