Phone-Friendly Garden Planner for iPhone and Android

GardenDraft Team · June 23, 2026 · Updated October 6, 2026 · 5 min read

The garden is where you make most of your planting decisions, standing over a half-empty bed wondering what goes in next. GardenDraft is a garden planner app for iPhone and Android browsers, built for exactly that moment: pull out your phone at the beds, check what's due, and place the next crop without going back inside to a desktop. Native iOS and Android apps are in progress; the web planner is the version you can use now.

One garden on iPhone, Android, and desktop

On your phone, GardenDraft uses the same account and the same gardens as on a computer. Plan the big picture on a laptop if you like, then take your phone outside to do the planting. Every change syncs both ways: move a tomato on your phone in the garden and it's there on your desktop when you come in. Your beds, plants, calendar, and tasks are saved to your account.

Designed for use in the garden

A phone in the garden has to be quick and legible, so GardenDraft is built mobile-first: big touch targets, a layout that works one-handed, and the information you need outdoors up front. Check this week's tasks, mark a row sown, log a harvest, or drop in a new planting right where you're standing, without pinching at a desktop layout shrunk onto a phone. Pick a plant once and tap the bed for each one you want.

Frost-aware dates for where you live

GardenDraft also works out when each crop goes in. It schedules from your local last spring and first fall frost, pulled from the NOAA station nearest your ZIP code, so the dates on your phone are right for your garden rather than a generic zone guess. Every sow, transplant, and harvest task follows from those two dates.

Tasks that show up at the right moment

Because your garden is on your phone, the task list is with you when the work is due: time to start seeds indoors, harden off seedlings, transplant the tomatoes, or pick the first beans. A daily or weekly email digest lists what's due. Every task comes from a real planting stage for your crops and climate, so there's no daily "check your garden" ping to tune out.

Plan, place, and track from your phone

From your phone you can draw beds and place plants with real spacing, see the planting calendar fall out of the layout, track succession plantings, keep each season's garden in your account so you can check what grew where before rotating crops, and work a shopping list and task list built from your plantings. It's free to start with no credit card. Open the free planner and start free with just your email. You land in a garden with a bed ready to plant, and once your first plants are in, it asks for your ZIP so the dates can fill in.
