I couldn't find an app that took warm-season grass seriously. So I built one.
I grow Wintergreen Couch in South East Queensland. If you're serious about your grass, you know the drill: the heat, the humidity, the fast growth rates in summer, the dormancy concerns in winter, and the constant calibration of a PGR program.
For years I managed everything in my phone's notes app. A record of what I sprayed, rough dates, a running tally of GDDs calculated from memory. I was using PGRs properly, but the tracking system around it was a mess. I'd lose records, second-guess timing, and occasionally discover I'd let products lapse because I had no clear picture of where my program actually stood.
The apps that existed were either designed for golf course superintendents — expensive, complex, built for a completely different scale — or they were basic gardening reminder apps that had no concept of GDD, and no idea what turf actually needs.
So I built CoreTurf because I needed the thing to exist. I wanted something built to a proper standard, where the GDD maths is actually right, the spray log meets are accurate and easy to track, and the whole thing is designed for Australian grass in an Australian climate. That's what I built.
CoreTurf is in beta now. Android is on Google Play. iOS is close behind. If you grow Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo, Zoysia, Rye, Fescue and you want actual tools rather than reminder apps — this was built for you.
GDD calculations use real meteorological data. Thresholds are based on published research. Nothing is guesswork dressed up as a feature. If a number appears in CoreTurf, it means something.
CoreTurf is technically serious and visually clean. Logging a spray application takes under two minutes. Your dashboard tells you what you need to know without making you find it. The complexity is underneath — not in your way.
Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo, Zoysia. APVMA registration numbers. Summers and cool-season dormancy. Australian weather data. CoreTurf understands the Australian context because it was built here, for here.
