Every tree on your bench, remembered.

Bonsai Journal is a personal catalog and training journal. Photos, care actions, and notes, dated and kept for the life of the tree.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

The whole collection, on one bench

Every tree gets a card: name, species, age in training, and a cover photo. The Bench is the view you open first, sorted by what was recently added, recently updated, longest in training, or name.

Archive a tree that leaves the bench and its record stays with you.

A journal that keeps bonsai time

Log watering, repotting, pruning, feeding, and wiring as dated entries, with notes and photos alongside. Milestones get their own mark on the timeline.

Entries are fully backdatable, so you can import old photos and rebuild a tree’s history from the day it went into training.

Watch years pass in seconds

Growth is a time machine built from your own photos. Drag the scrubber and a tree’s whole development plays back under your thumb, from the first nursery picture to this morning.

Slow art deserves a fast replay.

Know the tree in front of you

Identify an unknown species from a photo, then read an AI-generated care guide written for bonsai practice: light, water, soil, and seasonal protection, species by species.

Guides are written at the species level, so local conditions stay your call.

A picture of where the styling could go

Future Vision takes a photo of a tree today and generates an AI render of how its styling could develop. The render is saved to the journal, labeled as AI, and sits beside the real photos as something to train toward.
