The lawn care tracker and garden planner in one app. Log every mow, watering and feeding, plan with companion planting, and stay ahead with calendars and reminders, with a tap, a widget or your voice.
Available in English, French, German and Spanish.
YardStick is your all-in-one companion for a healthy lawn and thriving garden. Track every mow, watering and feeding, plan each season, and never lose sight of what your yard needs next. Log it with a tap, a widget or your voice.
Log mowing, waterings and fertilizer applications with a tap, or hands-free with Siri4. Fertilizer and soil amendment trackers show a depleting progress bar so you can see when you are due again, and they are customizable to any type. The weed control tracker uses the same countdown-style indicator for your next application.
Keep tabs on mechanical maintenance such as overseeding, aeration and dethatching, and enable only the trackers you actually use. Photo progress tracking lets you watch your lawn transform, and the History Timeline keeps a full record of this year's work, with editable dates, photos and an end-of-season report.
The Fertilizer Calculator works for synthetic or organic fertilizer. Enter what is printed on the bag and your yard's area, and get the exact “pounds on the ground” for your grass type and the season. Property Mapper lets you trace your yard on a satellite map to measure its area, and your first zone is free.
Put your yard to rest for the off-season. A banner shows that it is resting and yard reminders pause. Plants have their own Dormancy Mode, which pauses their reminders and pills while they rest.
YardStick is just as capable for your garden. Log fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, trees, shrubs and houseplants. Plan from winter through harvest with seed-starting and outdoor-planting dates, and track each successive planting independently with succession planting.
At-a-glance indicators show each plant's location, fertilizer, quantity and sun. Log fertilizing, watering and harvests with photos in each plant's own History Timeline, record harvests by weight or quantity and see a running season total, then generate an end-of-season report for every plant. With YardStick Pro you also get planting reminders, soil moisture tracking from connected Ecowitt1 sensors, and plant identification from a photo, with your first two identifications free.
Turn ideas you have throughout the year into next season's plan with shopping lists, checklists and notes, or say “Add a note in YardStick”. The Companion Planting Helper shows which plants help each other and which to keep apart, with a shopping list from the results. The Pest & Disease Tracker lets you log sightings with photos, filter by pest, disease or weed, and mark them resolved.
The Garden Calendar shows everything coming up next, Photo History lets you look back at how your plants progressed, and the Cost Calculator works as a garden budget tracker so you can see what you have spent this year. Before you reset, the Season Archive saves a snapshot of your season to look back on any time.
Say “I mowed the lawn” or “I watered the basil”, or ask “What's due?” and YardStick answers without you opening the app.
YardStick makes an automatic safety copy before every update. iCloud4 backup and restore brings everything back on a new phone, and you can also export and import your data as a file.
One purchase, no subscription. Unlimited zones let you draw zones on a map of your property, each tracking its own mowing, watering and treatments and feeding the Fertilizer Calculator. Identify plants, weeds and diseases from a photo with Pl@ntNet5, with your first two free. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show each zone's countdown bars and its last mow and watering, or the plants needing attention.
Ecowitt1 tracks soil moisture and rainfall automatically on your tracker pills, Rachio2 syncs your smart sprinklers to log lawn watering, and OpenWeatherMap3 tracks local rainfall and gives frost warnings the evening before a cold night. Garden Mapper lets you drop pins on a map or photo to track where plants are, and you can connect Ecowitt sensors or Rachio zones to individual zones. Customizable notifications let you choose which reminders you get, and when.
