SporeDesk

Private beta

Help shape SporeDesk.

I'm opening SporeDesk to a small group of growers before launch. You get full use of the app in your own private account, free for the entire beta. I get honest feedback from people who actually grow.

Beta dates will be announced soon. Apply now to get in the first round.

How it works

  1. 1

    Apply

    Fill out the short form below. It takes about two minutes.

  2. 2

    I review it

    I read every application myself and pick a mix of growers: different species, setups, and experience levels.

  3. 3

    Get your code

    If you’re in, I’ll email you a beta code and a link to sign up.

  4. 4

    Start logging

    Create your account and use SporeDesk for your real grows.

What I'm asking for

Use SporeDesk for your actual grows, and answer three short check-ins:

  • First impressions, 7 days after you join: how sign-up and setup went.
  • Midpoint, around day 45 of the beta.
  • Wrap-up, around day 90.

Each one takes a few minutes. On check-in days the app asks for the form before you continue, with a few "ask me later" passes if you're in the middle of something.

What you get

  • Every feature in the app, free for the whole beta.
  • Your own private account. Other testers can't see your data.
  • A direct line to the person building it. Your feedback changes what gets built next.
  • Updates throughout the beta as things get fixed and added.

About your data

Your grow data lives in your own account, walled off from every other tester. Because I run the database, I can technically access it. I'll only do that to help you with a problem or fix a bug. SporeDesk is beta software, so expect some rough edges while things get fixed. The full details are in the Terms and Privacy Policy.
