Core Help

What is Yur Plants™?

Yur Plants is an iOS plant collection app. Photograph plants with From Photo (AI analysis), add plants with Enter, organize by placement and geography, and export your collection.

When will Yur Plants be available?

Yur Plants is coming soon to the App Store. Yur Home is already available; Yur Plants shares the same OpenAI credits model and support experience. Check this site for launch updates, or send a note from the Home page.

How much will Yur Plants cost?

Yur Plants will be a free download. Enter (manual plants), browsing, editing, and export remain free.

Cloud From Photo analysis uses OpenAI credit packs purchased in the App Store:

  • 25 Credits — $0.99
  • 100 Credits — $2.99

1 credit is used per From Photo analysis. There is no subscription and no free OpenAI analysis trial. Buy packs in Settings → OpenAI Credits.

See OpenAI Credits for details. Apple Intelligence Full Access will appear in a future update on supported devices.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

No. App Store builds do not use bring-your-own API keys. Analysis runs through Yur Plants’ service when you spend credits.

Does Yur Plants use Apple Intelligence?

Apple Intelligence photo analysis with a one-time Full Access unlock will be offered in a future update on supported iPhones and iPads.

At launch, use OpenAI credits for From Photo, or add items with Enter any time.

How do I add entries?

On the Add tab:

  • From Photo — choose a plant photo for AI analysis when you have OpenAI credits. Review suggestions, then save.
  • Enter — add plants manually any time, with optional placement and geography.
How does OpenAI analysis work?

When you use From Photo with credits, Yur Plants sends the photo to its analysis service (powered by OpenAI) to suggest common name, species, care notes, and placement suggestions. You review and edit every suggestion before saving.

Credits are purchased through the App Store — see OpenAI Credits.

Where is my data stored?

By default, plant records, photos, placement, and geography are stored locally on your device. You can optionally enable iCloud Documents sync to keep records across your Apple devices.

Can I export my data?

Yes — export is always free. Yur Plants supports CSV, PDF, or ZIP from the Plants tab.

What should I do if something isn’t working?

Try closing and reopening the app first. If the issue continues, send us a message from the Home page with your device model, iOS version, your credit balance if relevant, and what happened.

How quickly will support respond?
