The Story

Care & Growth Journal for Bonsai Lovers

If you grow bonsai, you already know the frustration: every plant care app treats your tree like it's any other houseplant. Bonsai isn't a chore — it's a years-long project in slow art. Bonsai is a photo journal and care diary built for people who actually grow them.

What's Inside

🌿

Bonsai Tree Journal

Every bonsai in your collection gets its own beautifully designed profile. Snap a photo when you notice something — new flush, back-budding, a bend that finally took.

📈

Growth Timeline

Watch your bonsai evolve over years. Full-screen immersive mode turns your collection into a slow-motion film of seasons, pruning cycles, and character.

💧

Care Calendar

Watering, pruning, repotting, fertilizing, wiring — all in one gentle, never-nagging calendar. Bonsai watering is its own discipline, never a fixed schedule.

🍃

Species-Aware

Juniper, ficus, jade, pine, elm, azalea, Japanese maple — every species has its own seasonal rhythm. Tag each bonsai and keep notes that travel across years.

🖼️

Collage & Long Image

One-tap collages and long-image summaries of your entire bonsai garden — perfect for Instagram, r/Bonsai, or sending to a friend.

🔒

Privacy First

Everything stays on your device. No cloud account, no data collection. Your bonsai garden stays private unless you share.
