My Allotment

A simpler way to plan, grow & track your plot

I made My Allotment to feel practical, calm, and easy to use — a gardening companion for UK growers that helps you plan beds, track plantings, and keep on top of crop rotation without accounts, ads, or clutter.

Built independently, updated thoughtfully, and designed to work fully offline.

A personal note

Portas Productions is just me.

I build small, useful apps one at a time, with an emphasis on clarity, privacy, and making things that feel nice to use. My Allotment is the first app I'm putting out into the world under Portas Productions, and I’m hoping it’ll be the first of a few.

If this app helps you enjoy your plot a bit more or stay a bit more organised through the season, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.
