Your garden is yours.

The garden lives on your side of the screen.

Settings open on Backup/Restore: a card saying this browser has not promised to keep your garden, that automatic backup is off, a Turn on automatic backup button, then Download backup, Restore from backup, Load the sample garden and Start with a blank garden.
BackupThe plain fact first: whether this browser has promised to keep your garden, said in its own words. Then the answer either way: automatic backup, Download backup, Restore from backup, and two ways to start over.
Settings, About: your garden is kept in this browser, on this computer; nothing in it is sent anywhere unless you send a problem report; the frost dates are looked up by US ZIP code; and when this version was published.
AboutIn its own words: kept in this browser, on this computer. Nothing in it is sent anywhere unless you send a problem report, and the report shows you every line before you press Send.

Broadfork runs in your browser, on your computer, and your garden is kept there. Nothing about it is sent anywhere unless you send it. There is no account to make today.

That cuts both ways: if the browser clears its data, the garden goes with it. So save a backup file and keep it where you keep things that matter. It restores on any computer. In Chrome or Edge the app can keep that file up to date on its own. In a browser that cannot, the file comes down to Downloads when you ask for it. The numbers it works from come from published research, and it lists its sources by name under Settings.

Start with one bed. Next spring it will already know something you would have forgotten.

The sample garden is open to click through, with no sign-in. It is built for a computer screen for now.
