Everything that can run on your phone runs on your phone.
- Every tree in London, bundled inside the app
- Camera frames, read as they arrive and then dropped
- Finding the trees around you, which is a lookup in that database
- Your chats, until you delete the app
Your position does leave the phone when you ask for something that needs it: the weather, walking directions, the name of a street, or adding a tree. The privacy note lists every one of them.
London Garden is on the iPhone App Store, free, for iOS 17 and later. Leave your email for the occasional word on what changes.
A short note when the season turns, and nothing else. One click comes off the list, and the address is not shared or sold.
