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

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

I have ADHD. I also love plants — being in nature is the calmest I ever feel, and filling my home with green is the closest I get to it day to day. What a plant needs is easy enough to find out. Whether I actually watered it on Tuesday is the part I could never keep hold of. 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.
