Questions
Is Yardkin live yet?
Not yet. It's invite-only while we finish it, and everyone who's in uses it free for now. Request access and you'll get an email when it's your turn; these are the plans you'll be able to pick from at launch.
What are AI tokens?
The assistant reads and writes in tokens, about three quarters of a word each. A chat turn uses around 11,000 because the assistant reads your whole garden first; a photo check a bit less. Each plan has a monthly allowance, and you can see exactly where it went in Settings → Plan & AI.
What happens when the allowance runs out?
Watering, reminders, your plant records and everything else keep working. Only the AI pauses until the allowance renews, and you can buy a small top-up pack that never expires.
Can I change or cancel?
Any time, from Settings → Plan & AI. Moving up takes effect right away; cancelling keeps the plan until the end of what you've paid for, then returns you to Seedling with your garden intact.
Is there a family plan?
Grower shares each garden with two people, Orchard with as many as you like. Everyone you invite sees the garden with their own login.
Which plants does Yardkin know?
73 fruit trees, vegetables and herbs, with 510 named varieties: mango, avocado, lychee, sapote, jackfruit and soursop as well as citrus, figs, stone fruit, apples, berries, tomatoes and basil. You can add any other plant too.
Does Yardkin work for organic gardens?
Yes. Mark a garden as organic and the assistant only suggests organic products and methods.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Yardkin is made for phones and iPads first and also works on a computer. Add it to your home screen to use it like an app, with notifications and offline logging.
Is my data mine?
Yes. Your plants, photos and logs are yours, and you can export everything from Settings → Your data at any time.
