Preferences
Preferences cover your personal account and the settings that span every garden, in one place. They are not tied to a specific garden. Reach them by tapping your avatar (initials, bottom of the sidebar or top-right on mobile). The old separate “Global settings” page now lives here too, and /settings redirects to this hub.
A search box at the top jumps you to any setting by name or a related word, across both Preferences and your garden settings.
Profile
Set your display name, which appears in the nav and in garden member lists. It defaults to your email address if not set. Sign out lives here too, in the profile card.
Email address
Change the email you sign in with. The new address gets a confirmation link, and your email changes once you click it.
Security
Change your password. It needs at least 8 characters.
Appearance
Pick a color family and a light, dark, or system (follow your device) mode. It applies across the whole app and follows you to other devices.
Text size
Choose the text size that is easiest to read. It applies across the whole app and syncs across devices when you are signed in.
Default landing
Choose where Evengrow opens. Pick the global view (all gardens) or a specific garden. Add a garden first to set this.
Global workload capacity
Set the maximum hours a week across all your gardens combined. This sets the capacity line on the global Workload page. Leave it blank to use the sum of your per-garden capacities.
Your plan
Your plan (Free, Advanced, or Expert) controls which features Evengrow shows you. It is set by your subscription, not changed here. See Plans & billing for what each plan unlocks and how upgrading works.
Download your data
The profile card has a “Download my data (JSON)” link. It gives you one file with everything Evengrow holds for your account: your profile, every garden you belong to and its assets, plantings, tasks, observations, harvests, capture notes, sensor readings, photo records (the storage paths, not the image bytes), season plans and forecasts, your seed inventory and vendors, your AI conversations and feedback, and your API key names. It is available on every plan, including Free, and each download is recorded. The per-garden CSV and Excel exports in garden settings are a separate, plan-gated feature.
Delete your account
The last card on the page is the danger zone. Type your email to confirm and press “Delete my account”. This deletes your login, every garden you own together with its photos and captures, and removes your address from the waitlist. Gardens you only help with are not affected; only your membership in them ends. The deletion is immediate and cannot be undone, so download your data first if you want a copy. The privacy policy describes what is retained afterwards (a record that the deletion happened, with your email, kept for audit).
