DibbleEverything Dibble does
Dibble is a planting calendar, a reminder system, a crop reference, and a garden journal in one app. It plans from where your garden is, by local frost, heat, and rain, in eight languages. The core is free. Premium adds a calendar that adapts to this year's weather, unlimited photo identification for plants, pests, and diseases, and the planning and tracking tools for gardeners who want to go deeper.
Plans from where you garden
Use your location, search for your town, or enter a postal code. Dibble reads the frost, heat, and rain there and dates every task for the crops you pick. Where frost comes only some years, it says so and gives you a safe date for tender plants. Where it never freezes, it finds your cool or dry season instead.
The app comes in English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, German, Arabic, and Traditional Chinese, and it is available in many countries. The App Store shows whether it is offered in yours.

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
Choose a photo of a plant and Dibble suggests what it is, right on your device. It knows the crops in Dibble's library best, and it is a best guess to check, not a sure answer.
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. Choose a photo of a seed packet and Dibble reads the label and tries to fill in the crop and days to maturity.
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. Ask Siri to log a harvest or tell you which care is due.
Frost and weather alerts
Get a heads-up before a cold night or heavy rain. On a frost evening, open Dibble and a Live Activity keeps the warning on your Lock Screen until morning. The free plan includes one frost warning a season.
Journal photos
Attach a photo to any journal entry. Notes are always free.
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. Your garden's place is kept to about 1 km, and only Apple's own services ever see it, to answer a request such as a forecast or a town search. Read more on the privacy page.
Plant at the right time this season
Dibble builds your calendar in under a minute. Free to start, no account needed.
