Status & next steps

Project status

Leaves & Blades has been developed independently since 2024 and already has usable foundations and a demonstrable app prototype. The project website has been publicly accessible since 31 August 2026. Professional review and several cooperation areas remain in development.

Leaves & Blades app

The iPhone prototype combines plant records with stable IDs, a journal, reminders, measurements, photos, comparison views and a configurable PDF plant card. A native reference camera supports reproducible follow-up images.

not yet released

Technical limitations

The app currently has no public user account, production cloud service or automatic AI connection. Sensor, controller and network camera connections are prepared but not yet released for production use.

Views from the local prototype

The main areas of the app

The screenshots show the current prototype with an empty demonstration dataset. No real plant, contact or history data is displayed.

App home screen without a plant record — **Home**Quick access, active tasks and central work areas.

Empty plant record in the app prototype — **Plants**Plant record, master data and structured assignment.

Knowledge area and issue database in the app prototype — **Knowledge**Guided checks, issue database and photo check.

Empty grow journal in the app prototype — **Journal**Entries, history, photos, comparisons and filters.

Plant training in the app prototype — **Training**Document the action, response and next check separately.

Connections and privacy area in the app prototype — **More**Demo, privacy, local data and technical connections.

Inside the prototype

App demo

A short screen demonstration will explain the app’s central workflows. It will only be embedded once recording, content and approval are complete.

App demo coming soonReserved space for a short, approved demonstration video.

Next benchmark: Stabilise existing functions, review them professionally and test them with clearly defined pilot partners — without presenting plans as completed services.
