Today
The morning-coffee view: weather, briefing, and what's due to plant or harvest.
Today is the screen you'll use most. It pulls together everything that matters right now: the weather for your zip, your frost timeline, what's due to plant or harvest today, and a briefing that highlights anything unusual.
It's designed so a quick glance tells you what to do next — no scrolling through every garden looking for overdue tasks.

Cold launch
Open the app and Today loads first. The weather card refreshes automatically every few hours; pull down on the screen to force a refresh sooner.
If you don't see weather, double-check that your zip is set in Settings. Without it, the app can't fetch a forecast.
Today on iPad — weather + frost timeline + tasks all visible at once. - 2
Weather card
Current temperature, conditions, sunrise / sunset, and the next 12 hours. The conditions row at the bottom flags soil temperature, water budget, and UV when they're notable.
The forecast is from Open-Meteo and updates in the background. Cached values survive across app launches so the card never shows blank on cold start.

Daily briefing
Above the weather, one to three briefing headlines call out the most important thing to know today: a frost warning, a long dry stretch, a build-up of overdue tasks.
Tap any headline to jump straight to the relevant screen — frost briefings open Calendar, harvest briefings open the harvest sheet for that plant.
Briefing — the lede for your gardening day. - 4
Filter tasks by kind
The All / Start indoors / Direct sow / Transplant / Bed prep / Harvest chip row filters the task list below by activity. Tap a chip to focus on one kind; tap All to clear.
Tasks bucket into Overdue, Today, and This week — overdue tasks are red so you can see them at a glance.
Filter chips at work — only Transplant tasks shown.
Tips
- Pull-to-refresh is rate-limited to once every 60 seconds — spam-pulling won't burn API credits.
- If a task is in the wrong week, long-press the bar in Calendar and drag it to the right date. The change syncs back to Today instantly.
