SeedWindow · Version 1.0.0

Start a batch

In Batches, tap Add batch. Enter a name, variety, location and positive seed quantity, then choose your sowing date, germination range and transplant target. The generic +5 to +10 and +28 day starter offsets are examples only. Adjust them using your seed packet. Dates are not sourced from a plant database.

Observe your seedlings

Open a batch and choose Add observation. Enter a sprouted count from zero to the number sown. Height in centimeters, notes and a selected photo are optional. The latest observation determines the displayed germination rate. Delete an observation with its trash button and confirm. Archive completed batches from their timeline; archived records remain in Insights.

Plan a routine

Open Calendar, tap Add task and choose a title, optional batch and due date. Enable Local reminder only when you want an alert. If iOS denies permission, enable notifications in Settings or turn the reminder off to save without an alert. Tap a task circle to complete or reopen it. Use Edit or Delete below the task card. Toggle Show all dates to filter by the calendar selection.

Back up and restore

In Settings choose Export JSON backup to save records and photos, or Export observation CSV for a table. Restore JSON backup validates structure and values before asking to replace your garden. Invalid imports preserve current data. Backups above 40 MB are rejected. Keep a recent backup outside the app. Loading the example garden also replaces current records after confirmation.

Troubleshooting

If a saved file cannot be opened, the original file is preserved. Restore a valid backup in Settings. If a photo import fails, try another image. If reminders do not appear, check iOS notification permission, Focus, the due time and that the task is incomplete. There is no background weather or cloud sync.
