Meet Percy — voice-first garden journal

Percy doesn’t just remember your garden. It changes how you see it.

Tell Percy what you’re picking, planting, or noticing. Percy tracks every detail: what you planted where, what worked last season, what you’re planning next, what bugs you’re cursing under your breath, and the actual weather conditions the moment you said it.

But Percy doesn’t just track what you did. It captures what you noticed, identifies what you’re looking at, and over time connects all of it into something no garden tool has ever been able to show you: the complete story of your garden, across seasons.

For the first time, your garden has a memory. It turns out that changes everything.

How It Works

You talk about your garden the way you’d tell a friend about it, and Percy just understands.

1

Tell

Hold the button like a walkie-talkie. Say what you see. "First ripe tomato of the season. The Sungolds are always first."

2

Confirm

Percy plays it back. "Got it — Sungold tomatoes, first harvest of the season. Sound right?" Add a photo if you want one. Tap yes. Ten seconds, and you're back in the garden.

3

Ask

Three weeks in, you'll ask Percy something you've already forgotten. "When did I plant the cucumbers?" "Which tomatoes were worth growing again?" Percy will just know. Snap a photo of something chewing holes in your kale and ask what it is — Percy looks at the image, identifies the culprit, and tells you what to do about it. And when you have a general gardening question, Percy answers it the same way. Through the lens of your actual garden, not generic zone advice.

4

Return

Come back to the Nest and watch something you've never been able to grow before: a living portrait of your garden. A seedling becoming a plant becoming a harvest, visible across time in a way no notebook page ever managed. Percy builds it while you're out there doing the actual gardening. It gets more extraordinary every week.

See Percy work.

What is this plant?

See everything your garden gave you. Not just what you grew.

Tell Percy what you planted, what you harvested, what’s bugging you (literally and otherwise). Percy tracks it all, organizes it, and remembers it so you don’t have to.

Ask Percy anything about your garden. It’s not generic internet advice written for your zone — it’s advice written for your garden, because it knows everything you’ve shared about it. Which tomatoes did best in the south bed? What should I do about the aphids? Should I start these seeds today? Snap a photo of something you don’t recognize and ask Percy what it is. Over time, Percy just knows. That alone replaces every spreadsheet, notebook, and app you’ve ever tried to keep up with. And unlike those tools, Percy doesn’t need you to maintain it. You talk. Percy does the rest.

But Percy also captures the layer of your garden that no tool has ever been able to touch. The afternoon your kid found a particularly good bug and refused to come inside. That first ripe cherry tomato, still warm from the sun. The things that make a season feel like a season and have never had anywhere to go.

Percy captures both. The plantings and the harvests. The pests and the plans. And everything you noticed and loved on the way. Gradually, it starts to add up to something no gardener has ever been able to see before: the complete story of your garden. Patterns connected across seasons. Which beds produce the best of which crops. Which varieties keep coming back because they simply work in your patch of land. Nothing lost.

Percy is for gardeners who’d rather be gardening.

If you've tried garden apps and found yourself maintaining the app instead of the garden, Percy is not that. No task lists. No Gantt charts. No dashboards requiring a tutorial. Just your voice, and something that handles everything else, so you can stay present instead of staring at a screen.

If you keep a paper journal, you already know the value of writing things down. Percy gives you something your notebook never could: a garden memory that writes itself, talks back, and gets more extraordinary every season. Everything you love about journaling, plus the part where it actually does something with what you've told it. Plus, zero risk of paper cuts.

If you don't track anything currently, you're not missing a system. You're missing what becomes possible when nothing is lost. Percy is the easiest way to find out what that feels like. And once you do, you'll wonder what you were letting evaporate all those years.

You don’t need to use it every day. There are no streaks to keep or garden points to earn. Percy won’t nag or guilt-trip you. Just share something when it feels notable: when you plant something, notice a problem, or harvest something that made you unreasonably happy. Even thirty observations in a season gives you way more to work with next year than you’ve ever had before.

Your Garden in Photos

After Percy confirms what it heard, you can add a photo to capture the moment. Across a season, twelve tomato entries with photos and you're watching fruit go from green to gold. That's the kind of thing you'll open in December when the season is done, just to relive it. Photos also work as questions. Snap a picture of a mystery seedling, a damaged leaf, or whatever's been eating your peppers, and ask Percy what it is. Percy identifies the plant, pest, or disease from the image, and the answer draws on your garden's own history. The identification becomes part of your garden's memory, so next season, when the same pest shows up at the same time, Percy already knows what it is and what worked.

The Nest

Percy's desktop view is a living portrait of your garden, assembling itself in real time. Your highlights, your full plant roster and all of the things you shared about them, organized neatly for you to find, browse and remember. You don't build it. You just talk about your garden, and Percy builds the Nest. It gets richer with every note.

Knows Your Conditions

Percy tracks more than most apps. Not just plantings and harvests, but the weather conditions (automatically appended at the time of every observation), your sun exposure and local microclimate, the soil conditions specific to your beds and what the trees and structures around them actually do to the light. The kind of context that makes the difference between generic advice from the internet and advice that knows your garden. And when frost, heat, or heavy rain is in the forecast, Percy gives you a heads-up before it arrives. Not a generic weather alert. A note from something that knows what you have in the ground.

Your Migration Report

At the end of each season, Percy creates your Migration Report. Your garden's year-in-review, written automatically from a season's worth of small moments you narrated while standing in the sunshine. Coming this winter.

Percy works with just your voice. But if you really want to geek out, you can tell it your location, your soil type, your garden layout, and it starts doing things no garden tool has ever done. Here’s how.
