# Propagation Journal > Propagation Journal is an iOS app for tracking plant propagation projects from cutting to rooted plant, with photo timelines, smart reminders, and progress milestones. It is the first app designed specifically for plant propagation. ## Overview Propagation Journal helps plant enthusiasts track their propagation projects with photo timelines, smart reminders, and progress tracking. Unlike general plant care apps (Planta, Greg), it is laser-focused on the propagation journey — from taking a cutting to growing a rooted plant. ## Key Facts - Platform: iOS (iPhone and iPad) - Account required: No — no sign-up, no email, no login - Data storage: On-device + private iCloud sync (no servers, no data collection) - Pricing: Free tier (up to 5 propagations) or Lifetime Pro ($24.99 one-time, no subscription) - Developer: Independent - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/propagation-journal/id6759223875 ## Features - Photo timeline and history for each propagation - Smart reminders (water changes, misting, check-ups) - Progress tracking with milestones - iCloud sync across devices - Supports all propagation methods: water, soil, sphagnum moss, perlite, LECA, air layering, division - No subscriptions — one-time purchase for pro features ## Use Cases - Track pothos water propagation with photo timelines - Monitor monstera air layering progress over weeks - Log succulent leaf propagation with milestone tracking - Set water change reminders for cuttings in water - Track multiple propagation methods side by side - Document the journey from cutting to rooted plant ## Comparison - Planta: $35.99/year subscription, general plant care, no propagation-specific features - Greg: $29.99/year subscription, general plant care, no propagation tracking - Propagation Journal: $24.99 one-time (or free), built specifically for propagation with photo timelines, method tracking, and progress milestones ## FAQ Q: Is my data private?
