Identification with honest confidence
An on-device model trained on 5,000 species, with confidence tiered as Strong, Good, Possible, or Weak. When the model isn't sure, the app says so. We would rather be right than sound certain.
Features
Built for the questions plant apps don't answer.
Most plant apps stop at the species name. Raychis treats identification as the rachis, the central spine that everything else branches from. Know what you have, and the rest follows: what is wrong with it, and what it needs from you this week.
The engine
More than a name in one scan.
Point your camera once. Raychis tells you what the plant is, how confident it is, and whether it looks healthy. Experimental disease and growth-stage detection go further when you switch them on. A name on its own does not help you grow anything.
A health read, with experimental diagnosis
Raychis flags when a plant looks unhealthy. Going further is experimental: naming the disease or pest behind brown tips, leaf spots, or wilt, and reading a plant's growth stage. It stays off by default in Settings while we improve its accuracy. We would rather hold it back than have you act on a confident-sounding guess. When you switch it on, likely causes are ranked by probability, with treatment guidance written for someone who owns the plant, not a botany PhD.
Care that adapts
Water, light, feed, repot. Care guides adapt to your climate, the season, and your plant's history in your home. Reminders when something needs doing; silence when it doesn't.
The vision
A year in your garden, intelligently.
Identification is where Raychis starts. It is built to grow into a proper gardening companion, one that knows the plants you have and what your garden needs from you this week. Some of this is in version one. The rest is on the way.
Your garden, tracked
Every plant you save lives in your garden on your phone. Photos, notes, a history of what's bloomed and what's struggled. Yours, on your device, never on a server.
What's happening this month
A live picture of your garden. What is flowering now, and what is ready to harvest. The kind of thing a friend who happens to be a botanist would mention in passing.
What to plant, and when
A planting and harvest calendar that knows your region. When to sow, and when to harvest. Succession planting for crops that need it.
What to do today
A short list of the things that matter today, not a busywork notification stream. Pruning windows, harvest readiness, watering when the weather has shifted.
The principles
Offline. Private. Honest.
The architecture is the philosophy. Everything runs on your phone, from identification to your own photos and notes. No server holds a copy, and you do not need an account. When the model isn't sure, the app tells you, instead of inventing certainty.
