The challenge
Most plant apps nag. Fernly wanted the opposite: an app that helps people look after their plants without adding one more source of stress to their phone.
The approach
We designed around a single gentle check-in each morning instead of a stream of notifications. Care advice adapts to the season, the light in each room and how often you actually water.
- A one-tap daily check-in that groups every plant needing attention
- Photo-based plant identification with care tips in plain language
- Soft, hand-drawn illustrations and a calm colour palette throughout
The outcome
Fernly reached 120,000 downloads in its first year with a 4.8 star rating and was featured as App of the Day in eleven countries.
