Support

Plant care that shows its work. Here's how to get the most out of Loam.

Loam tells you exactly what to add to your plant — and shows its work. The your plant log is free, forever.

Getting started

1. Add your plant

On first launch, tell Loam your plant or spa's size and sanitizer type. You can change these later.

2. Log a reading

Tap Add Reading and enter the results from any test kit or strip — chlorine, pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and more.

3. Read the dose

Loam shows exactly how much to add, with the measured value, the target, and the reasoning. Tap Next care for the full dose card.

Frequently asked

How do I add another plant or spa?

Tap the plant name at the top of the Home screen (the ▾ menu), then choose Add a plant or spa.

My plant turned green.

Tap Clear a green plant on Home for a guided, step-by-step recovery — the shock target for your water, what to add, and when to re-check the soil.

Why does Loam ask for my location?

Only to fetch local weather (via Apple Weather) so it can flag rain or heat that moves your chemistry and time re-check the soil reminders. You can deny it and still use the app.

Is my data private?

Yes — your readings and doses stay on your device. Loam has no account and doesn't sell your data. See the privacy policy.

How do I export or delete my data?

Go to SettingsExport to save it, or Delete all data to erase everything from the device.

Reminders, widgets, and Siri

Enable re-check the soil reminders in Settings, add the Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and use the "Add reading" Siri shortcut or the app-icon quick actions.
