Everything Plot Trak does, in detail.

Built over two years on a real UK allotment, then hardened until it was good enough for everyone else’s. Nothing on this page is a plan or a promise. It is all in the app.

Every decorative model, included with Pro. Have a look before you decide.

Planning

Build the garden you actually have

Place, draw, resize, rotate, colour and delete in 3D or on the flat plan, with the same tools in both. The 3D view is where the work happens and the plan is there when you want a bird’s eye check.

The flat plan

Over 380 objects, more being addedBeds, sheds, greenhouses, fences, walls, ponds, seating and more, counting every style of each.

Free drawn shapesPaths, gravel, boundaries and ponds drawn with a finger, closing themselves as you go.

Laid, never stretchedPaving, decking and lawn repeat unit by unit, so a brick stays 10 cm from a 1 m wall to an 8 m one.

Survey photo underlayPosition a photo of your real plot underneath and trace the shape of what is already there.

Direct manipulationGrab handles appear beside the object, not on top of it, so your thumb never hides what it is moving.

Exact plot sizesSet real dimensions in metres, so the plan and the ground agree.

Several plotsGarden, allotment and greenhouse held separately and switched in a tap.

Undo everythingFull undo and redo, grid snap, fit to screen and per object styles and colours.

Growing

697 crops and 122 problems

A UK canon catalogue with cited photographs and a sowing calendar on every entry, wired into plantings, succession and harvest history so the record builds itself as you garden.

Crop entries and pest entries

UK sowing calendarSow, plant out and harvest windows for this country, month by month.

Companion planting warningsSome crops grow better side by side and some hold each other back. Plot Trak tells you which is which as you plant and warns you again if you move a crop into a bed it will not get on with.

Companion lines in 3DSee good and bad neighbours drawn between plants in the model.

Succession and seasonsPlan the follow on crop before the first one is out of the ground.

Harvest logRecord what you picked and when and compare this year against last.

Seedlings and seed tinStart indoors, track what is on the windowsill, plant out from either view.

Pests and problems122 entries, with treatments limited to what is approved for amateur use in the UK.

Pet safetySafe, use caution, unsafe, inconclusive or not assessed, each with crop specific reasoning.

Seed tin

Start from the packets you already own

A sowing decision should begin with what is in the drawer, not with a wish list. The seed tin holds your packets, the seedlings screen holds what is coming on indoors and both feed straight into the plot.

The seed tin

Your packets, listedWhat you own and how much of it, held in one place instead of three drawers.

Sow from the tinStart a sowing from a packet and the planting lands on the plot.

Windowsill seedlingsTrack what is coming on indoors before any of it goes outside.

Plant out from either viewMove a seedling into a bed from the 3D model or from the flat plan.

See what has run outKnow what needs replacing before the ordering season, not during it.

Kept year on yearLast season’s tin is still there when you sit down to plan the next one.

Harvest odds

How likely that crop is to work, where you are putting it

A planting is a bet on a spot. Plot Trak reads the position you have chosen against what it already knows about the plot and tells you how well that crop is likely to do there, before the seed goes in.

Harvest success probability

A read per plantingEvery crop you place gets its own answer, not a blanket rule for the bed.

Position awareWhere it sits on the plot is part of the sum, not an afterthought.

Reasons, not a numberYou are told what is pulling the odds down, so you can do something about it.

Before you commitCheck it while the planting is still a plan and moving it costs nothing.

Moves when you move itDrag the crop to a better bed and the answer changes with it.

Backed by your historyWhat you actually harvested last year is on the record to compare against.

Watering

Rainfall that counts, watering that does not nag

The watering list is only useful if it knows what the sky already did. Plot Trak reads live weather for your location, tallies the rain that landed on your plot and takes those crops off the list.

Rainfall logged against the plot

Live rainfall trackingRain that falls on the plot resets the clock on the crops it reached.

Sheltered cropsAnything under glass, cloche or canopy is treated as dry, because the shower never got to it.

Tap to waterPick up the can and tap each plant. Every plant wears a drop that turns to a tick, and one finger still moves the garden while you work.

The same in both viewsThe flat plan waters exactly as the 3D garden does, down to the wording, so nothing has to be learned twice.

Watering modeStay in watering mode for a whole pass down the garden instead of tapping in and out.

Due todayThe home dashboard opens on what needs water, what needs sowing and what is ready to pick.

Weather in the modelLive conditions drive the overlay and the light, so the garden looks like the day you are having.

Day and nightPlay through the day and watch shade move across the beds.

Your data

Yours, on your phone and nowhere else

No account, no server, no analytics. That puts the burden on the app to never lose anything, which is why backups, snapshots and exports are built in rather than bolted on.

Fully offlineWorks at the allotment with no signal and no sign in.

Backup and restoreGenerational snapshots taken automatically and restorable in a tap.

Export and importMove your whole garden to a new phone yourself, in one file.

PDF garden reportsPrint the plan, the plantings and the calendar for the shed wall.

Photo attributionEvery catalogue image credits its author and licence, because that is the licence condition.

No trackingNothing about your garden leaves your phone, because there is nowhere for it to go.

On paper

The whole plot, printed for the shed wall

Not everything happens with a phone in your hand. Plot Trak builds a report you can print, pin up in the shed or take down the garden and mark with a pencil, then bring back and type in.
