description: "A local-first, decentralized app for keeping and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings. Offline, encrypted, no account."
hero:
title: "Your seed bank in your pocket"
tagline: "Keep and share traditional seeds and seedlings — offline, encrypted, no account."
lead: >
Every traditional seed is a letter written by thousands of generations,
passed from hand to hand. Tane helps people and seed-saver collectives keep
a friendly inventory of their bank, decide what they offer, and share it
locally — without a central intermediary that could control it, censor it,
or be fined for it.
pillars:
- icon: "🌱"
title: "Manage your bank"
body: "Add a seed or seedling with just a photo and a name — no Latin required. Note the year, how much you have, where it came from, germination tests. Search, filter, snap now and name later."
- icon: "🔒"
title: "Yours, and only yours"
body: "Works fully offline. No account, no server, no trackers. Everything is encrypted on your device. Keep an encrypted backup and a printed recovery sheet to restore your whole bank on a new device."
- icon: "🤝"
title: "Share, as it's always been done"
body: "Mark what you have spare to give away, swap or sell. Someone nearby finds it and contacts you — no middleman. Print a catalog of what you share to take to a seed fair."
features:
title: "What you can do with Tane"

- "Keep everything in sync across your own devices."
values:
title: "Why Tane is different"
points:
- "No center: no company can shut it down, censor it, or be fined for it."
- "Anti-monopoly by design — sharing seeds multiplies the commons instead of depleting it."
- "Spreads like a seed, person to person, with no server in the middle."
- "Free software (AGPL-3.0). No ads, no commissions, no business model."

Tane (種, "seed"; from *tanemaki* 種まき, "to sow seeds") is a local-first,
decentralized app for keeping and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings. It
works with zero network — and connects you to a neighborly seed-sharing network
when you want it.
