The lawn-watering weather app

Should you water today?

Knowday reads the soil, the rain, and how fast the lawn's drying — then gives you one straight answer instead of a guess: water now, or save it.

What matters when you water

The reads behind one straight answer.

Is the lawn actually thirsty?

Water / Wait

Knowday models the soil moisture near you. Dry through the root zone and you get a plain Water; still holding plenty and it says Wait — watering wet soil risks rot and runoff.

Don't water before the rain

Rain coming

The smartest watering is the watering you skip. Knowday watches the next day's forecast and tells you to hold off when rain's on the way — and calls a hard no before a downpour.

Don't water after the rain, either

Already wet

It also looks back: if rain fell in the last two days, the lawn's already had its drink. Knowday suppresses the watering nudge so you're not double-soaking the roots.

How fast it's drying out

Drying fast

On a hot, windy day a lawn dries far faster than a still one. Knowday reads the drying demand and flips to Water sooner when the grass is racing to dry out.

How it works

How Knowday thinks about watering.

This is an action, not a readout — Water, Wait, or Check first when the signal's thin. It scores how dry the soil is, how fast the lawn's drying, and both whether rain just fell *and* whether it's coming, then leans toward saving water when nature's handling it.

Two honest limits: it's all modeled near you, not measured in your yard, and it can't see your sprinkler or rain barrel — this is the lawn's *need*, not a tally of what you've already given it.

Watering the lawn is one of fourteen plans Knowday reads — walks and rides, the lawn, the garden, camping, the night sky, and the water.
