🌿 Planty

Planty is a cross-platform project built with Flutter that aims to simplify your plant irrigation routine through a beautiful, intuitive, and smart app that connects with your PlantyPot — an automated irrigation system designed to take care of your plants so you don’t have to.

The Project

This project was born during a glass of wine 🍷 with my friend Andrea, who was building an autonomous irrigation system. While he was working on the hardware — sensors, water tank, lighting — a question came up:

“What would be a user-friendly way to manage all this?”

That’s when the idea of Planty was born: a cross-platform, easy-to-use mobile application to control and monitor the entire irrigation system effortlessly.

The Collaboration

Andrea is in charge of the hardware: sensors, valves, lighting, and everything that makes water flow where it should.

Igor (that’s me 👋) is developing the software: the backend, sensor communication, and the Flutter app that brings it all together.

The Vision

Maybe one day, we’ll have a complete, market-ready product — something like this rendering generated by Gemini:

Tech Stack

• Flutter – cross-platform app development
• Supabase – backend & database
• IoT Hardware – custom sensors & microcontrollers
• Provider – state management

Work in Progress

• Manage all your vases (each representing a valve in the system)
• Monitor humidity, lighting, and irrigation history
• Trigger manual watering or let automation do the job
• Sleek UI with carousel and grid views
• Cross-platform support for Android, iOS, and Web
