2/2 nfc watering logger + app

AquaTagstrong · 81

It’s built to make logging waterings fast (tap an NFC tag per pot, or use an in-app tap alternative), and it shows due/overdue/freshly watered plants plus watering heatmaps and history so you can check what you’ve completed.

Best for: Houseplant owners who want the lowest-friction way to log each watering and see weekly progress.

Caveat: It relies on NFC tags for the tap-to-log experience, and you’ll need compatible iOS hardware.

Partly fits

Plant Care and Wateringpartial · 58

It focuses on widgets showing last-watered time and quick tap logging, but it intentionally avoids reminders/alarms.

Won’t cover: It avoids alarms and schedules, so you may still need your own weekly routine.

Watering Day: Plant Calendarpartial · 52

It’s minimal and only tells you which plants need water today, which can help check what’s due but doesn’t clearly emphasize weekly history.

Won’t cover: It appears to focus on today-needed status rather than a weekly history of what you completed.
