SowingData & transfer
Change your phone, not your garden.
Your garden history should not disappear with a device. Sowing lets you back up all your data, transfer the archive and restore it elsewhere.
Local-first
Your data lives with you first.
Sowing stores your garden data on your phone. The app remains useful offline, even when your garden is beyond network coverage.
Keep viewing and organising your garden without relying on a permanent connection.
Complete backup
Your entire garden in one archive.
Create a complete ZIP backup containing everything needed to restore your Sowing setup.
Changing devices
Restore Sowing on a new phone.
The backup is designed to save you from manually rebuilding months or years of records.
Create the ZIP archive on your old phone.
Send the file to your new device.
Import the archive and restore your data.
Complete sharing
Share your complete garden setup.
You can share a complete archive with another person, who can then restore it in Sowing. This deliberate file-based transfer is ideal for passing on a garden or its full history.
CONTROLLED SHARINGYou choose the file, the recipient and when to transfer it.
Customisable exports
Export data you can actually use.
Export gardens, beds, plants, activities, harvests and nutrition to XLSX for safekeeping, comparison or spreadsheet analysis.
A structured file, not merely a screenshot or a closed report.
Your history travels with you
