WHAT YOU CAN DO • Keep multiple ponds, each with its own cycles from stocking to harvest • Record feedings, water readings, growth, costs, health notes and harvests • Attach photos through the system picker (no full library access) • See growth curves, cost breakdowns and cycle history from your own entries • Export a full copy as JSON or CSV whenever you want a backup DESIGNED TO STAY ON YOUR PHONE • No account and no sign-in • No server • No ads and no subscriptions • Everything is stored in the app on this device An example pond is included so the journal does not start e…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

What the numbers say: Pondly runs a dark set with one background colour (#0C1414) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
