Plant watering reminders that fit each plant
Folly is a plant care app that reminds you when each plant needs watering or feeding, free on every plan. Add a plant and its reminders start straight away; when you water, log it in a tap, for one plant or a whole shelf at once, and the next date moves with it.
On Folly Pro, Smart Care sets each plant's watering interval from 15+ attributes of the plant, its pot, its room and your local weather, and shows you every factor behind the number.

How it works
- 1
Add your plants
Scan each plant and put it in a room. Its water and feed reminders start straight away.
- 2
Get one daily reminder
Folly gathers everything due today into one notification, so a big collection does not mean a stream of alerts.
- 3
Log it in a tap
Mark one plant done, or log a whole shelf at once. Watered early or late? Back-date it and the next date follows.
Free reminders that keep up with you
Every plant you add gets its own water and feed reminders, and they arrive together in one daily notification. Watered the ferns on the way out of the door? Log it whether or not it was due, back-dated to the day you did it, and the next due date moves with it. Mark all as done clears everything due today, and Log care records watering or feeding for any plants you pick in one go, with undo if you tap the wrong thing.
Each plant keeps an activity timeline: every watering, feed, care task, note, photo and health check, one card per entry, so when a plant starts to struggle you can see what changed and when.
Smart Care: watering that adapts, on Folly Pro
A fixed weekly routine drowns one plant and starves the next. On Folly Pro, Smart Care works out each plant's interval from 15+ attributes, among them the species, the pot size and material, the soil, the light in that room, the season, and the weather where it actually grows. When the days shorten the intervals stretch; when a hot spell arrives they tighten.
Most plant apps hand you a number and ask you to trust it. Folly shows its working: tap any plant and you see every factor behind its interval, with the percentage it added or removed. Without Pro, plants keep a basic fixed schedule that does not react to these conditions.
Care tasks and chore days, on Folly Pro
Watering is not the only job. Care tasks remind you about the rest: rotating, cleaning leaves, pest checks, misting, pruning, repotting, flushing the soil, top dressing, or a task you name yourself. Each keeps its own schedule and arrives in the same daily reminder, and the care guide suggests the ones that matter for each plant.
Chore day grouping moves due dates onto the day you choose wherever a plant can wait, so watering forty plants becomes one Saturday job instead of a trickle of notifications all week.
Questions people ask
Is there a free app to remind me to water my plants?
Yes. Folly sends water and feed reminders for every plant on the free plan, gathers them into one daily notification, and lets you log care for one plant or several at once.
How does Folly know when to water a plant?
On the free plan each plant follows a basic fixed schedule. On Folly Pro, Smart Care sets the interval from 15+ attributes, including the pot, the light, the season and your local weather, and shows every factor behind it.
Can Folly remind me to repot, prune or mist my plants?
Yes, with care tasks on Folly Pro. There are built-in tasks for rotating, cleaning leaves, pest checks, misting, pruning, repotting, flushing the soil and top dressing, and you can add your own, each on its own schedule.
What if I watered a plant before its reminder?
Log it anyway. You can log watering and feeding whether or not they were due, back-dated to the day you did them, and the next due date moves with it.
Can I group my plant care onto one day of the week?
Yes, on Folly Pro. Chore day grouping moves due dates onto the day you choose wherever a plant can wait, so care lands on a day that suits you.
