Florae helps users care for leafy houseplants through its GitHub-hosted project.
About Florae
Florae is an open-source app for tracking the care of houseplants, with a focus on leafy plants. Its README describes it as a free application that lets users manage each plant's care needs, such as watering, pruning, and cleaning, and receive notifications when a plant needs attention. The app is built with Flutter. The README also says it is designed to respect user freedom and privacy, but the source does not describe how data is stored or handled, so no privacy guarantee can be made from it.
The app is oriented to Android devices. The README attributes this to notification dependencies and to iOS restrictions on issuing notifications without proprietary dependencies. Notifications may also fail on some Android devices, because some manufacturers apply battery optimizations that stop background tasks. The app runs a background check at a user-configurable frequency, but the README notes that this may not work on every device.
