Coming early 2027 · Berlin

Plants that water themselves. An app that loves you back.

Real watering, done for you. Zero nagging. A little green friend that's always happy to see you. Scroll down through the world we're building — from sunlight to soil to the glow beneath it.

A reminder is just a scheduled way to feel like you've failed.
Why Chikorie exists

Loving plants and remembering to water them are two different skills.

I have ADHD. I can tell you everything about a plant — the light it likes, the soil it wants, exactly how often to water it. What I can't tell you is whether I actually did it on Tuesday. For a long time, my partner was the only reason our plants survived — quietly topping them up every time it slipped my mind.

Here's the thing, though: you don't need ADHD to have a busy mind. A packed week, travel, a new baby, plain life — everyone's routine slips sometimes. And every plant app answers the same way: another reminder to feel bad about. I didn't need more guilt. I needed something that just handled it — and only spoke up with good news.

So I built Chikorie — for me, for my partner, and for anyone whose love for their plants is bigger than their memory for Tuesdays.

How it works

Set it up once. Then mostly just enjoy it.

01

Plug it in

Connect the Chikorie board to your plants and your wifi. Setup takes minutes — no tools, no wiring diagrams.

02

It waters

Sensors read the soil and water each plant exactly when it needs it — home, busy, or away on holiday.

03

It celebrates

Open the app to little wins: "Your Monstera just got watered." Streaks, moods, and a garden happy to see you.

Beneath the surface

The clever part nobody else has.

Every other plant app lives on the surface — reminders and guesswork. Chikorie's real work happens underground.

It actually waters

Real hardware on real schedules. Not a notification — an actual pump moving actual water.

Real data, not guesses

Live soil-moisture readings, trended over time — so it knows your soil, not a species average.

Never nags, only celebrates

No guilt, no red alerts. Every ping is good news or a gentle nudge of encouragement.

Plants with personalities

Each plant gets a face and a mood — hydrated and happy, a little sleepy, thrilled to be watered.

Earns its keep first

The app comes free with the hardware. No paywalls in your face — fall in love first.

Grows with you

Plug-and-play modules. Start with one plant, add more whenever you like.

Tamagotchi energy

Meet the little crew you'll actually want to check on.

Even when the watering's handled, you'll open the app just to say hi.
