Verdant OS

Self-hosted, AI-powered plant care. Photograph a plant and Verdant identifies it, builds a care profile, and keeps watch — health trends, care logs, weather-aware advice, and a daily tip from its AI botanist. It runs entirely on your own hardware, on your home network, with not a byte of your garden living on someone else's cloud.

Verdant OS

Photo identification

Upload a photo and NVIDIA NIM vision identifies the species with a confidence score, then seeds the care profile.

Health analytics

Multi-layer trend charts — vigor, hydration, growth, environmental sync — built on full care-log history.

AI botanist

Daily care advice tailored to your collection, plus a natural-language terminal for plant operations.

Self-hosted & private

Two small Docker containers on a machine you own. PocketBase keeps your data in a SQLite file on your disk — LAN-only, no cloud, no telemetry, no accounts farm.

Environmental intelligence

Live local weather via Open-Meteo drives climate-aware recommendations and temperature, humidity & precipitation cues per room or zone.

Resilient by design

AI is an assistant, never a dependency — writes never wait on it, and the app degrades gracefully to local cache and safe fallbacks when offline.

Meet your plants' new caretaker.

Verdant OS is self-hosted, single-household software — it lives on an always-on machine on your home network and is reached by every device in the house. There's no public instance; you run your own. Want to talk about it or get it running?
