Most houseplants don't die from neglect ā they die from watering on a guess. Overwatering is the most common way people kill them. LeafLens fixes the timing: photograph any plant to identify it and check if it's pet-safe, then it builds a watering schedule for that exact plant and reminds you the day water is actually due. Mark it watered and the next reminder re-bases itself. It also diagnoses disease from a photo and answers questions about your own plants.
Hey Product Hunt š
I kept killing houseplants ā not by forgetting them, but by watering on a schedule I made up. "Every Sunday" feels responsible, but plants don't drink on a calendar, and overwatering is the most common way people kill them.
LeafLens is the app I wanted for that. Point your camera at any plant and it tells you what it is, whether it's safe around a cat or dog, and how to care for it. Then it builds a watering schedule for that specific plant and reminds you the day water is actually due. Mark it watered and the next reminder re-bases itself, so the schedule stays honest even when life gets busy.
A few other things it does:
⢠Diagnose a sick plant from a photo ā it names the likely cause and the steps to fix it before it spreads
⢠Answer questions about your own plants through a built-in assistant
⢠Keep every plant, its care history, and its next task in one place

I'd love to hear how you keep your plants alive ā schedule, guesswork, or a moisture meter ā and which ones have defeated you. I'll be in the comments to answer anything.
