See everything your garden gave you. Not just what you grew.

Percy is like having a friend you can talk to about your garden. (But unlike your friends, Percy never tires of it or awkwardly tries to change the subject.)

Percy remembers everything you share: the plantings, the harvests, and all the moments you want to hold onto. And turns it all into a gorgeous living record of your season.

How Percy works

Hold a button and talk. Percy listens, remembers, and quietly turns it into the story of your season.

Just hold the button like a walkie-talkie.

Listens.

Say what you planted. Share what you noticed. Ask for advice. Add a photo if you like. And Percy figures out the rest. Ten seconds, and you're back in the garden.

Your whole season, beautifully captured.

Remembers.

Every note becomes part of your garden's story in The Nest. It's like a coffee table book about your garden that writes a new page every time you share a note.

Remember all the moments that tend to fade.

Notices.

Percy also captures the in-between moments with family and friends. The things that make a season feel like a season and have never had anywhere to go.

Watch your garden grow from seed to harvest.

Organizes.

Percy organizes everything for you. Just say “I just planted the tomatoes” or “The tomatoes are ripening” or “The squirrels ate the tomatoes FML.” Percy logs it and remembers it for you (even if you'd rather not).

A card on Percy's home screen: You wanted me to nudge you about these, any for today? Prune the tomatoes and fertilize the figs, each with a not today option

A quiet nudge, not an alarm.

Reminds.

Percy holds onto your to-do list and reminds you when the time is right. Just say “Remind me to water the containers every three days” and it's saved in Twigs. Percy will surface a card on the home screen when the time is right.

Percy recalling the weather the day the roses bloomed — 62 degrees, partly cloudy, 77 percent humidity

Weather has never been this exciting.

Kinda geeks out.

Percy records the weather every time you share a note. Temperature, humidity, hours of daylight and frost warnings are all logged automatically. By next season, you’ll have something no gardener has ever had: a weather-correlated history of your season.

A garden diary that writes itself.

The Nest is like a coffee table book about the story of your garden. The plantings and the harvests, but also all the moments in between. The afternoon your kid helped harvest the strawberries and none of them made it to the kitchen. The things that make a season feel like a season and have never had anywhere to go.

Now, every time you share something, Percy writes a new page in the story of your season. Your photos are treated with importance. Your plants each get a chapter. Every moment is given, well, a moment.

The best moments open the story.

Highlights from the month live at the top — important garden updates, wildlife sightings, family moments. Not necessarily the biggest things. The ones worth a full-page spread.

Each plant gets its own chapter.

Tap into any plant and you'll find everything: every note, every photo, the whole arc from seed to harvest (or seed to a series of increasingly concerned observations — also a valid arc). It assembles itself.

Field Notes for everything in between.

The questions you've asked, IDs you requested, and anything more curious than decisive. It's like the notes in the margin of your season's story.

Twigs

A garden planner that remembers what you meant to do.

A card on Percy's home screen: Still on your list: water the raised beds today, with Done and Remind me later

Tending.

Tending is for your gardening to-dos.

Just hold the button and say “I need to transplant the seedlings this weekend” or “Remind me to water the garden every 3 days.” Percy will remember it for you and nudge you on your home screen when you ask for the reminder.

You can always go back and edit your list anytime. Tap the box to mark things off your list, change the timing, or delete them entirely.

Someday.

This is the space to hold onto your garden inspiration. It’s a private shelf for the maybe-one-day ideas: the plant you spotted on a dog walk, the new bed you’re dreaming up, the varietals you want to try next year, or the jealousy-inducing window boxes you saw on your vacation.

At the end of the season, Percy writes your garden’s year-in-review.

Your most-mentioned plants. Your seasonal timeline. The challenges, the victories, the varieties worth growing again — and the ones we shall never speak of again. Your garden’s annual story, assembled automatically from a season of small moments you narrated while standing in the sunshine.

You don’t do anything to make this happen. Percy has been building it since spring. Your first Migration Report is part of your free season. It becomes your planning document for next year, except you didn’t have to write any of it. Starting in year two, it includes side-by-side comparisons with last season: what improved, what patterns emerged, what you learned.

That’s when it gets really fun.

Arrives January 2027

“I began using Percy in the spring intermittently, but through the summer and now into the fall, I am using it quite regularly. It’s helped me keep track of a variety of projects… Percy doesn’t let me forget.”

The garden advisor you've always wanted

Everything you tell Percy becomes knowledge about your garden. So when you ask for advice, the answer comes from your actual garden.

Ask Percy anything

“Is it too early to plant my peppers?”
“Why are my squash leaves turning yellow?”
“What are the little bugs on my raspberries?”
“When did I fertilize the hydrangeas?”
“What was the weather when I planted the peas?”

It's like having a personal garden expert.

Answers.

Ask a question you’d normally ask the internet and get an answer based on your garden, not a stranger’s. Percy knows your zone, your microclimate, and everything you’ve grown and shared.

Share what you're seeing. Percy can help.

Identifies.

Friend or foe? What is this plant? What are these brown spots on the leaf? Percy looks at your photo, tells you what it means for your garden, and remembers it for next season. It even knows what’s native or invasive where you garden.

See Percy work.

“What’s eating my collard greens?”

“I’ve been using Percy for a few weeks and I love it — it personalizes answers based on what I’ve told it about my garden, and it’s literally like having a little garden expert in my pocket.”

Haley L. · Goldsboro, NC

Percy works with just your voice. But if you really want to geek out, you can tell it your location, your soil type, your garden layout, and it starts doing things no garden tool has ever done. Here’s how.

Percy is for gardeners who’d rather be gardening.

If you've tried garden apps and found yourself maintaining the app instead of the garden, Percy is not that. No Gantt charts. No dashboards requiring a tutorial. Just your voice, and something that handles everything else, so you can stay present instead of staring at a screen.

If you keep a paper journal, you already know the value of writing things down. Percy gives you something your notebook never could: a garden memory that writes itself, talks back, and gets more extraordinary every season. Everything you love about journaling, plus the part where it actually does something with what you've told it. Plus, zero risk of paper cuts.

If you don't track anything currently, you're not missing a system. You're missing what becomes possible when nothing is lost. Percy is the easiest way to find out what that feels like. And once you do, you'll wonder what you were letting evaporate all those years.

Questions gardeners ask

What is Percy?

Percy is the garden journal that remembers, so you can enjoy your garden. You talk to it about what you plant, notice, and plan, and it turns that into a complete record of your garden, then into knowledge: answering your questions, connecting what happened from one season to the next, and giving advice based on your own garden's history. You never have to log anything by hand.

How is Percy different from other garden journal apps?

Most garden journal apps are logs: you fill in forms, and you get a record you can search later. Percy keeps the same detail, but you just say it, and then it does something a log can't: it turns your record into knowledge. It connects what happened across seasons, spots patterns you'd miss, answers questions from your own garden's history, and comes to you with advice when it matters. A log tells you what happened. Percy helps you understand what it means for next season.

Is Percy a garden planner?

Yes. Tell Percy what you need to do and when, and Tending remembers it and nudges you on your home screen. Someday holds the plants and ideas you're saving for later.

Can Percy identify plants, pests, and diseases?

Yes. Show it a photo and Percy tells you what it is, whether it’s native or invasive where you garden, and what to do about it. Then it remembers the ID.

Is Percy good for beginners?

Yes. There's nothing to set up and nothing to learn: you just talk to it. If you don't track anything now, you're not missing a system. Percy is the easiest way to start, and because its advice comes from your own garden, it gets more useful the longer you use it.

How much does Percy cost?

It's free to start, with no credit card required. After your free season, it's $39 a year. Percy has native apps on iPhone and Android, and works in any browser on desktop.

Enjoy your garden. Percy remembers it.

Free for your first growing season. Then $39/year as a Founding Member, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. The price will rise as Percy grows. Yours won’t. No credit card required. Your data is yours regardless.
