An iPhone app to keep your houseplants alive, shared by everyone at home: it tells you which plants need water today, recognises a species from a photo, and teaches you a little more every day with a quiz.
In a shared home, plants suffer from two opposite problems: nobody waters them, or everybody does. And each species has its own rhythm, which also changes with the seasons.
AROZ gives the household a single, shared view of every plant: who needs water today, how late it is, and a tap to say it’s done.
The home screen goes straight to the point: the plants to water, sorted by urgency, with a tag showing how many days late they are and a single tap to confirm. “My plants” lists every plant room by room, with a search. The household and its members are always visible at the top.
Adding a plant is a form in cards: photo, species, room, sunlight, last watering, fertiliser, pot type and size, drainage. The species can be picked from a searchable list, or recognised from the photo by a machine-learning model embedded in the app, which also powers a live scanner from the home screen.
Every day, a short quiz brings a few questions about plant care, each answer explained, to build a streak and earn points.
Like Höm, AROZ is an experiment in going from design to a working product on my own:
Claude Code wrote the app in Swift and SwiftUI, with Firebase for accounts and the shared household data, and every commit that built it is co-authored with Claude.
