Premium
The deeper toolkit for following this year's weather, planning beds, diagnosing problems, tracking harvests, caring for houseplants, and growing year after year.
Weather-adaptive calendar
When this year's last freeze lands early or late, Dibble shifts your whole calendar to match and shows you the freeze date it used.
Plant disease diagnosis
Photograph a struggling leaf and Dibble names the likely disease and suggests organic fixes, all on your device.
Pest identification
Find out what is eating your leaves. Photograph the culprit and Dibble names the pest, with organic treatment steps.
Plant identifier
Point your camera at any plant and Dibble identifies it, right on your device.
Bed layout planner
Drag crops into a square-foot grid and map every bed. Dibble warns you when two crops that don't get along end up side by side.
Houseplant care
Keep your indoor plants thriving with a library of common houseplants and watering, feeding, and repotting reminders tuned to each one.
Multiple gardens
Track a front yard, a community plot, and a greenhouse at once.
Succession and rotation
Stagger sowings and keep families moving between beds.
Harvest and yield tracking
Log what you pick, by weight or count, all season.
Seed inventory
Know what seeds you have, with a packet scanner that reads the label.
Varieties and labels
Name each cultivar and set a custom days-to-maturity.
Perennials and fruit trees
Follow trees, berries, and herbs across many years.
Frost and weather alerts
Get a heads-up before a cold night or heavy rain. On frost nights, a Live Activity keeps the warning on your Lock Screen until morning.
Unlimited journal photos
Add as many photos to an entry as you like.
Private by design
Your garden lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. Dibble does not run a server that stores your data, does not require an account, and does not track you. Location is used only if you turn on live weather alerts. Read more on the privacy page.
