Walk the beds. The desk catches up

The phone is for the field; the web is for planning. Log a harvest, a Pest scout, or a photo at the bed, complete the morning's tasks as you walk, and the web has it when you sit down. The iPhone app is on the App Store, with an Apple Watch companion, and the web app runs phone-first in any browser.

The iPhone app's Walk beds tab: beds grouped by field, Creek beds and Home block, with the QR scan button.
Walk-the-beds mode: beds grouped by field, a harvest on Bed 3, a Pest scout on Bed 6, a photo on Bed 9, and the web dashboard updating · 60 seconds

Harvest capture

Log it at the bed

Pick the bed, pick the active planting, type the quantity, save. It takes seconds, so you do it standing in the row. The harvest lands on the planting card as actual against expected, creates a lot in inventory, and shows on the web before you reach the wash station. Typed 120 instead of 12? Fix it from the phone and the lot and the totals correct themselves.

  • Bed picker, planting picker, quantity, date
  • Lot created and planting yield updated on save
Logging a harvest in the iPhone app at bed A3: the turnip planting picked from the bed, today's date, 12 pounds.

Today's list

Planned at the desk, on the phone at dawn

The tasks you scheduled in February arrive on the phone the morning they are due in July, with field, bed, and crop inline. Today, Week, Overdue, All. Swipe to complete, open a task to finish it with a note, and add a task from the field when you spot one. Owners, managers, and workers keep the same roles and permissions as on the web.

The iPhone app's Tasks tab on Today: the nursery card with three to do, and a side-dress task due today.

Notifications

Only the alerts you want

Every kind of push is its own switch, among them the morning summary of today's tasks, frost watch when a cold-sensitive planting is at risk tonight, expiry the evening before a lot runs out of shelf life, and pest threshold when the same pressure keeps coming back. Orders, payouts, and CSA sign-ups have switches of their own. Turn off what you do not need; the ones you keep are the ones you will act on.

  • Morning summary, frost watch, expiry, pest threshold
  • Orders, payouts, and CSA sign-ups switched separately
Field alerts in the iPhone app: morning summary, frost watch, harvest risk, rain skip, expiry and pest pressure, each its own switch.

Apple Watch

Aphids, logged from the wrist

Hands wet, phone in the jacket, aphids on the kale. Raise the wrist: the last bed and pest are pre-filled, turn the Crown to a severity, tap Log scout. The Watch also completes and snoozes tasks, takes a harvest count by Crown, and records a voice journal that the phone transcribes. A watch-face complication shows today's high and low with a snowflake when frost is forecast. Out of range, it queues and replays.

A Pest scout in the iPhone app: the pest, a pressure from 0 to 5, the action taken and a photo.

QR codes

Scan the bed, not the list

Every bed gets a QR code on a printed sheet. Scan the stake and the phone opens that bed with its plantings, its last observation, and its due tasks. No scrolling a long list in sunlight to find Bed 23. The screen is high contrast with tap targets sized for gloves, portrait only, with dark mode when you want it. Sign in once with Face ID or Touch ID; the Watch inherits the sign-in from the phone.
