Every plant knows its place.

Walk the yard with your iPhone and Dibble maps every plant to the inch. Then the good part: see what your garden is up to — when the color arrives, who's about to crowd whom, what's thirsty, how much of it is native — and show it off.

Dibble for iPhone is in final field testing — the App Store listing opens at launch.

What your garden tells you

Once every plant has a spot, the yard starts talking. Dibble turns your captures into the things you actually wonder about on a Sunday morning.

When the color comes — and when it leaves.

Scrub through the year and watch the garden light up: who's blooming in June, which corner goes scarlet in October, and the quiet weeks between. A bloom lens, a foliage lens, month by month.

Bloom timeline: one row per plant, each month tinted with that plant's bloom color

Catch crowding years before the shovel does.

Every plant is drawn at today's size inside its full-grown spread. Where the rings will overlap, Dibble names the pair — so you move the hydrangea now, not in 2031.

How native is your yard? How much of it can you eat?

Six numbers on the Garden tab: canopy today and at full size, percent native, edibles, in bloom now and next month. The dashboard goes further — by plant type, by tag, by how much ground each one takes.

Natives and edibles: how many plants carry each tag and how much ground they cover now and at maturity

Made for showing off.

You built this. Dibble gives you the numbers and the pictures to make other people want to.

How it works

No survey gear, nothing to print. Just walk.

  1. 1

    Anchor

    Aim at two fixed things you already own — a sprinkler head, a fence post. Everything is measured from them.

  2. 2

    Walk and tap

    Aim the reticle at a plant, tap. Dibble records its spot to the inch and snaps a photo.

  3. 3

    Say what it is

    Talk, scan the nursery tag, or let AI look it up. Every AI-filled fact is labeled so you know what came from where.

Positions come from your iPhone's AR camera and LiDAR, measured against your own landmarks — inches, not the 10–30 ft slop of a GPS pin. Works offline in the yard; syncs when you're back inside.

Your garden survives a new phone.

Plants, photos, zone photos, and care history all live in your account, not just on the handset. Drop the phone in the pond, buy another, sign in with Apple or email, tap Restore — and every plant is back where you left it.
