Grow like you’ve done it for years.

Grovekeeper watches your weather and your plants, then tells you the few jobs worth doing this week while the window is open, like a dry Saturday to prune or a frost worth beating. No more meaning to, and missing it.

The Grovekeeper app showing this week's plan: a dry, still Saturday, three jobs handled and one that needs you, plus a copper spray flagged for Peach #7 before bud swell.

Prune the feijoa hedge, it’s the last dry day for nine.

You’re not a professional grower.

You love your patch, but the timing gets away from you. There was a dry week that would have been perfect for spraying, and you clocked it a fortnight too late. The plums wanted pruning before the sap rose. The frost caught the lemons while you meant to cover them. A grower who had done it for years would have been on all of it.

Grovekeeper keeps that watch for you. It reads your weather and your plants, and puts the right job in front of you while there is still time to do it.

It catches the window before it passes.

You get on with your life. Grovekeeper keeps an eye on the forecast and your plants, and speaks up when there is a job worth doing and the weather to do it in.

Watches the forecast
It follows your local weather through the week and finds the window, like a dry Saturday to spray or a frost worth beating.
Ranks your week
The two or three jobs that matter come ranked, each with a plain why-now and the day to do it. You did not build the list. It did.
Nudges you in time
A reminder lands the moment the weather lines up, and it drops the job onto your calendar, so you really do not forget.
Sharpens as you grow
Put it right when it is wrong and the correction sticks, so the longer you grow with it, the better it knows your patch.

Photo diagnosis runs when you take a shot, never behind your back.

And when something looks off, show it.

Photograph anything you are unsure about. Grovekeeper reads it against real fruit and plant playbooks, tells you what it sees and what to do, then folds any job it finds into your week.

Mandarin leaves with yellowing between the veins, worst on the older leaves.

Mandarin #7

Grovekeeper’s read

The yellowing between the veins on the older leaves is classic magnesium deficiency, common in citrus after a wet winter. A dose of Epsom salts now, then a proper citrus feed as the soil warms, will green it back up.

Feed with Epsom salts this week

Apple #3

Grovekeeper’s read

Good fruit set, but the clusters are crowded. Thinning to one fruit per cluster over the next week or two gives you bigger apples and takes the strain off the branches.

Thin the clusters in the next fortnight

New peach leaves puckered and reddened with the first signs of leaf curl.

Peach 'Golden Queen'

Grovekeeper’s read

The puckered, reddened new leaves are the first sign of leaf curl. It is too late to spray this flush, so strip the worst leaves now and mark a copper spray for leaf fall and again at bud swell.

Strip affected leaves, schedule a copper spray

Organic, no-spray, or anything goes.

Tell Grovekeeper how you like to garden and it holds the line. The weekly plan only ever suggests jobs that fit your approach, so an organic patch never gets told to reach for a synthetic, and a no-spray garden only ever hears about pruning, traps and a sharp eye. Change it any time.

Set it in seconds when you sign up, or from Settings whenever your approach changes.

Organic

Only organic-approved inputs: copper, sulphur, oils and biologicals. Never a synthetic in the plan.

No-spray

No sprays at all. Just pruning, sanitation, netting, traps and a watchful eye.

Low-spray / IPM

Spray only when it's truly warranted, and only the softest thing that does the job.

Conventional

Open to whatever works, and Grovekeeper still leads with the least-toxic option.

Not a plant-ID app. Not a spreadsheet.

It knows the when, not just the what
A plant-ID app can tell you that is a dandelion. Grovekeeper tells you to spray the peaches this week, before the wet sets the leaf curl in.
Built for your Saturday, not a packhouse
Orchard software is made for spray diaries and audits. Grovekeeper is made for a morning with the secateurs and a cup of tea going cold.
It decides, a diary just remembers
A notebook only holds what you put in it. Grovekeeper works out what matters this week for you, and keeps the record too.

The things people ask

Is it just for fruit trees?

No. It grew out of looking after fruit trees and it is still happiest there, but it works for anything you tend over the seasons, ornamentals, natives, hedges, roses, a whole lifestyle block. It is built around what you have planted, not what sits in a pot on the windowsill.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. The AI is built in. You photograph plants and tick off the jobs it suggests. If you can use a camera and a checklist, you can use Grovekeeper.

Will it work outside New Zealand?

Yes. Tasks follow your hemisphere and local season, so a Northern Hemisphere spring lines up just as a Southern one does. It was made on a NZ lifestyle block, but the growing knowledge travels.

Who owns my data?

You do. Your photos, notes and plant history are yours, and you can export the whole record whenever you like. The accumulated history is the point, and it never gets locked away.

Is there a phone app?

Grovekeeper installs straight to your home screen and runs like an app, offline-friendly and full screen. Native iOS and Android builds are on the roadmap.
