Questions, answered.

What is Lively?
Lively is a plant care app for everyday homes. Take a photo of a plant and Lively identifies it, builds a care plan for your climate, season and the spot where it lives, and checks your local weather every day. Then it sends one calm reminder a day, only when something actually needs doing.
How does Lively identify plants, and what if it gets it wrong?
Snap or upload a photo and Lively suggests the most likely match, with close look-alikes beside it in an “Is this your plant?” step. You confirm the right one before any advice is given, so a Tulsi is never treated as basil. If none of them fit, you can type the name yourself.
Is it free?
Yes, Lively is free during the beta. We may add optional paid plans later, and we'll tell you clearly before anything changes. Getting early access costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything.
When does the beta open?
We're inviting people by email, a few at a time, so everyone gets a smooth start. When it's your turn, you'll get one email with your invite and a link to begin. Until then, we won't fill your inbox.
Does Lively work for complete beginners?
That's exactly who we built it for. Lively tells you one thing at a time, in plain words: what to do today and why. It never makes you feel bad when a plant struggles, and on days when there's nothing to do, it says so.
Will it be on Android and iOS?
We're starting with a web version that works in the browser on any phone or computer. An Android app comes next, then iPhone. Everyone on the early-access list hears about each one first, by email.
Does it know my local weather?
Yes. Lively checks the forecast for where your plants live every day. It skips watering when rain is due, moves it earlier on very hot days, and reminds you to mist when the air is dry, for example in air-conditioned rooms.
Is it safe for homes with pets and children?
Every care plan says whether a plant is safe around cats, dogs and children, and edible plants get food-safe remedies first. Lively's notes are a helpful guide, not a vet's or doctor's advice, so if someone has eaten part of a plant, call your vet or doctor straight away.
What do you do with my photos and data?
We use your photos and details only to run Lively and improve its advice. We never sell them. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can ask us to delete it at any time. Our privacy policy explains exactly how.
I run a garden or landscaping company. Can my customers use it?
Yes. We're working with garden and landscaping companies so their customers get care between visits: visit reminders, a log of what the gardener did, and a one-tap way to ask a question. Partner enquiries open soon, and we'll share the details on this site.
