Zones you define
Group crops by where they actually are: back bed, greenhouse, windowsill, plot three. Every crop sits in a zone, so the app matches how your garden is laid out rather than the other way round.

Everything you're growing, in one place.
Viço keeps a record of every crop: which zone it's in, when it went in the ground, what it needs and when. Each species comes with its own growing guide. Identify plants and check sick leaves with the camera. All of it on your phone, offline.

What it does
Six things, done carefully.
From seed to harvest
Log a crop when you sow it and keep adding as it goes: what you did, when, and how it changed. By the end of the season you have the record you always meant to keep.
A guide for every species
Each crop carries its own profile and growing guide. Sowing depth, spacing, watering, what to expect and roughly when. Attached to the plant you're actually growing.
Reminders per crop
Watering and feeding set individually, not one blanket schedule. Greenhouse tomatoes aren't on the same rhythm as garlic outside, so they don't get the same nudge.
local notifications onlyName it with the camera
Point the camera at a plant and Viço identifies the species on-device. Useful for volunteer seedlings, market-stall plugs and anything that lost its label months ago.
on-device modelCheck a sick leaf
Photograph the damage and answer a couple of questions about what you can see. You get a plain-language read on what it might be, or an honest “couldn’t tell.”
Why the disease check asks you questions
Image models of this kind report very high confidence even when they're wrong, so Viço doesn't show you a confidence score and doesn't decide on its own. It asks what you can see where the damage sits, what colour it is, what shape it makes and your answer can override the model. When nothing lines up it says so, and saves nothing.
It also won't tell you to destroy a plant, even for diseases with no cure. It'll tell you what to check. The decision stays with you.
Private by construction
There's no server to trust.
Viço has no backend. Not a small one, not an anonymised one none. The models ship inside the app, the inference runs on your phone's own hardware, and your photos and plot never leave the device. That's why it works down the allotment with no signal.

The models are the reason the download is large. It's the whole point of the product sitting in your pocket instead of on someone's server. It's also why the app costs money. There's no other way for it to make any.

Grow more. Share less.
Viço isn't on the Play Store yet. Google needs twelve testers running it for fourteen straight days before it can go public so the people testing it now are the ones setting the launch date.
Testing needs an Android phone and a Google account. If you help get it out the door, the app is yours for free, permanently.
One-off purchase after launch. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. Price announced at launch.
