Your collection. Your way.
Every collector has a way of observing. OrchidFields lets you decide what to record and keep each plant’s story in an archive you can take with you.
Fields that fit
Add text, number, date, choice and yes/no fields to record what matters to your collection.
A living journal
Keep photos and dated flowering, repotting and note entries, with an editable history.
A portable archive
Export a CSV for analysis or a complete JSON backup with fields, history and photos. Restore a validated copy from Files.
What to keep in mind.
Location is a label you enter, not GPS. The app does not identify plants, query an external taxonomy database or include cloud synchronization, reminders or a marketplace.

Ask us by emailInformation reviewed October 18, 2026Frequently asked
questions.
Can it identify an orchid from a photo?
No. It is a personal catalog. The person maintaining the collection enters names, parentage and other details.
Does it sync with iCloud?
There is no built-in synchronization. You can choose a cloud provider when exporting a file, but that does not automatically sync the collection.
Can I restore photos from CSV?
No. CSV is for analysis. The complete backup is the versioned JSON file, which includes your schema, history and photo copies.
Can I download it from the App Store?
It has not been released yet. Email support to ask about the project’s progress.
