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

A health score charted over time, alongside the history of every watering, feeding, and repotting, both built from the full care log.

AI botanist

Daily care advice tailored to your collection, plus a plant doctor that works back from the symptoms you describe to a likely cause and a fix.

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?
