What's new in Divisi

Every release, newest first — what we added, what we improved, and what we fixed. Divisi is free for every farmer, and always will be.

2026

26.8.3

Milestones the whole farm earns, and a day you can finish

Farm milestones celebrate what the farm achieves together, today's tasks rank into a list you can actually finish, and the Hive becomes one stream.

New

  • Farm milestones: badges the whole farm earns together, with a moment to mark it when one lands.
  • Today's work is ranked into a single list sized to a day you can finish, instead of everything the season could possibly want.

Improved

  • The Hive is one stream now — questions, posts and farm updates in a single feed rather than separate tabs to check.
  • Planting plans take your soil into account before suggesting how to establish a crop.
  • Reminders learn the hour you actually open the app, and arrive then.

Fixed

  • A record that failed to save now says so, rather than looking saved until the next sync.
26.7.31

One inbox for everything the farm tells you

Every alert, reminder and reply now lands in a single inbox with the action you'd want on it — and quiet hours hold a notice until morning instead of dropping it.

New

  • One inbox for everything the farm sends you — weather warnings, task reminders, replies in the Hive — each with the action you would want to take on it.
  • Answer a reminder straight from the notification, without opening the screen behind it.

Improved

  • Quiet hours now hold a notification until morning rather than discarding it, so an overnight alert still reaches you.
  • Photos and documents added by anyone on the farm are visible to everyone working that farm.

Fixed

  • Tapping a notification opens the screen it is actually about.
  • A notification meant for you no longer follows the wrong account onto a shared phone.
26.7.26

Every feature, free for every farmer

There is no paid tier in Divisi and there will not be one. Everything the app does is free, with no card, no trial and no feature held back.

New

  • Everything Divisi does is free for every farmer: recommendations, the full crop guides and task reminders, the diary, the ledger, the Hive and the 7-day forecast.

Improved

  • No card, no trial, no counter running down, and nothing locked behind an upgrade prompt.

Divisi is funded by the organisations running outgrower and contract-farming programmes, who pay for the tools they need. Farmers in those programmes are never charged either. A farmer deciding what to plant this season should not be deciding whether they can afford to find out.

26.7.24

Walk the edge of your field and the map draws it

Trace a plot boundary on foot and Divisi maps it as you walk — with offline tiles, so it works where there is no signal at all.

New

  • Walk the edge of a field and the map traces the boundary as you go, live.
  • Map tiles are kept on your phone, so walking a plot works with no signal in the field.
  • Record a crop that is already in the ground, dated from the day you actually planted it.

Improved

  • A plot boundary can no longer be drawn crossing over itself, so the area it reports is the area you walked.

Typing coordinates or dragging pins on a satellite photo was never how a farmer knows where a field ends. Walking it is.

26.7.12

Every task now carries its own guide

Each task card explains what to do, when, why it matters and the steps — without sending you off to look it up somewhere else.

New

  • Every task carries its own guide: what to do, when, why it matters, and the steps, all on the card.
  • Pest and disease entries tell you how to identify the threat, how to scout for it and what to do about it.

Improved

  • Crop guides show the names farmers actually use locally alongside the scientific one.
  • Guidance is written for the crop and the stage you are in, not as one general article about the crop.

A guide you have to go and find is a guide you don't read at the moment you need it. So the how-to now lives inside the task that requires it.

26.7.7

Recommendations for your field, not your district

Crop suitability is now scored against your own field's soil, rainfall and terrain — so two plots in the same district can honestly get different answers.

New

  • Crop suitability is scored for the specific field you are asking about, rather than averaged across the district around it.
  • Follow an expected yield through the season and watch it move as the weather does.

Improved

  • Where we do not yet have good enough data for a field, Divisi says so and offers to go and fetch it — instead of showing a confident-looking guess built on nothing.
  • Recommendations come back in a moment rather than a wait.

Fixed

  • Soil no longer shows up as the limiting factor on almost every crop, which was hiding the real constraint on good ground.

Two plots in the same district can now get different answers, which is the whole point: they are different plots. The honest counterpart is that when we cannot see a field properly, we tell you so rather than dressing up a guess as advice.

26.6.29

The season arrives one task at a time

Your plan now unfolds as the crop grows — the next tasks appear when the field reaches that stage, and you finish one by photographing the work.

New

  • Tasks appear as the crop reaches each stage, so you get the next few things to do rather than the whole season at once.
  • Finish a task by photographing the work. Your farm record builds itself while you farm, with no separate write-up.
  • A stage only opens once the work before it is done, so the plan stays honest about where the field actually is.

Improved

  • Every task carries its dates, so you can see what is due this week and what can wait.

A full season plan handed over on day one is a document. A plan that arrives a few tasks at a time, and knows what you have already done, is something you can actually follow.

26.6.17

Commit to a crop and get a plan for it

Pick a crop from your recommendations and Divisi turns it into a plan for that field — what to do, in what order, from land preparation onward.

New

  • Commit to a recommended crop and Divisi builds a plan for that field, rather than leaving you with a ranked list.
  • Each field carries its own plan, so a farm growing three things is not one undifferentiated to-do list.

Improved

  • Recommendations, the crop reference and your plan are now one flow instead of three places to visit.
  • Everything about a field is readable offline once you have opened it.

Knowing what to plant is the easy half. The season is won or lost in what happens after, which is exactly where most advice stops.

26.6.8

Know what the season cost you

A farm ledger for every shilling in and out, a farm diary for what you did, and a 7-day forecast you can correct when it gets your weather wrong.

New

  • The farm ledger: record what you spent and what you sold, in the units and currency you actually use, and see where the season stands.
  • The farm diary: keep a dated record of what was done on each field, with photos.
  • A 7-day forecast for your farm — and when it is wrong, tell us what really happened.

Improved

  • Local units are first-class. A bucket, a bundle or a tin is a unit Divisi understands, not something you convert by hand.

Most smallholders can say whether a season felt good. Far fewer can say what it earned, because the numbers were never written down anywhere they could be added up.

26.5.30

Put your fields on the map

Draw each field on a map and Divisi works out its size and location for you, so advice lands on the right piece of ground.

New

  • Draw a field on the map and Divisi calculates its area, so you no longer have to estimate it.
  • Look around the app before signing up — you can see what Divisi does before handing over a number.

Improved

  • Searching for a crop now filters by what you are actually looking for instead of returning the whole list.
  • Setting up a farm remembers what you already told us, so a dropped connection part-way through does not send you back to the start.

Advice that is calibrated to a location is only as good as the location. Pacing a field and guessing the hectares was putting the wrong number into everything downstream.

26.5.24

Lighter on your data bundle

Photos now load at the size your screen actually needs, show a placeholder while they arrive, and back off completely when your phone is set to save data.

New

  • Turn on your phone's data saver and Divisi respects it, holding back images until you ask for them.

Improved

  • Photos download at the size your screen needs instead of at full resolution, which cuts most of the data a page costs.
  • Images fade in from a placeholder rather than jumping the page around as each one lands.
  • The app talks to our servers over a faster connection where your network supports it.

Data is bought in small bundles and it runs out. An app that quietly spends it is an app that gets uninstalled.

26.4.24

Ask what will actually grow on your land

Tell Divisi where your field is and it ranks the crops worth planting there, with the reason behind each one written in plain language.

New

  • Ask Divisi what to plant and get a ranked answer for your own land, built from your field's soil, rainfall and terrain.
  • Every recommendation explains itself: what suits the field, what holds it back, and how confident the answer is.
  • Browse the full crop reference — spacing, sowing depth, days to maturity, and the pests and diseases that attack each one.

Improved

  • Crop names appear the way farmers say them locally, not only in Latin.

The scoring draws on published agronomic research rather than rules of thumb, and it is calibrated to a location rather than a region. It is advice, not a promise — a season can still surprise anyone.

26.4.17

An interface built for a phone in the sun

A full visual pass over the app — bigger type, higher contrast, larger touch targets and a layout that survives a cracked screen in bright light.

New

  • Divisi follows your phone's light or dark setting, so the screen is readable indoors and out.

Improved

  • Bigger body text and more generous spacing throughout, set for reading on a small screen at arm's length.
  • Buttons and rows are large enough to hit accurately with working hands.
  • Screens load in a predictable order, so the thing you came to do is the thing you see first.

Most farming software is designed on a large monitor in an office. Divisi is used on a mid-range phone, outdoors, often with dust on the screen and one hand full.

26.3.22

One farm, many fields, more than one pair of hands

Divisi now understands a farm as a set of fields with different crops in them, and lets more than one person work the same farm without stepping on each other.

New

  • Split your farm into fields and track what is growing in each one separately.
  • Invite someone else onto the farm, so a family or a work team share one set of records.

Improved

  • Getting started is shorter: Divisi sets up your first field for you rather than asking you to describe everything up front.
  • Records belong to the farm rather than to whoever typed them, so nothing disappears when a phone changes hands.

A smallholding is rarely one crop in one block, and it is rarely worked by one person. Treating it that way made the records wrong from the first day.

26.3.13

Keep working when the signal doesn't

Divisi now holds everything you record while you are out of range and sends it the moment a connection returns, instead of losing it or making you wait.

New

  • Record anything while offline. Divisi keeps it on your phone and sends it as soon as you have signal again.
  • Replies and farm updates arrive live while the app is open, without pulling to refresh.

Improved

  • Staying signed in survives a bad connection, so a dropped network no longer logs you out mid-task.

Most of a farm has no reliable signal, and the moment worth recording is the moment you are standing in the field. An app that only works on a good connection is an app that does not work on a farm.

26.3.8

The Hive — somewhere to ask a real farmer

A community feed inside Divisi where you can ask a question about your crop, answer someone else's, and follow the farmers whose answers you trust.

New

  • The Hive: ask a question about your crop and get answers from other farmers, not a search engine.
  • Post what is happening on your land, with photos, and see what is happening on other farms near you.
  • Follow the farmers whose answers you trust, so their posts reach you first.

Improved

  • Your profile now shows the farming you actually do, so an answer arrives with the context to judge it.

Extension advice does not reach most smallholders, and when it does it is rarely about the field in front of them. The farmer two ridges over often knows the answer already.

Everything above is in the app already. Free for every farmer, light on data, and it keeps working when the signal doesn't.
