Your seed bank in your pocket	A local-first, decentralized app for keeping and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings. Offline, encrypted, no account.	title tagline lead Your seed bank in your pocket Keep and share traditional seeds and seedlings — offline, encrypted, no account. 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.	icon title body 🌱 Manage your bank 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 body 🔒 Yours, and only yours 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 body 🤝 Share, as it's always been done 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.	title intro groups What you can do with Tane One quiet app for the whole life of a seed — keeping it, caring for it, and passing it on. icon title items 🌱 Your seed bank, in your pocket Add a seed in seconds — a photo and a name is all you need. Track each batch by year and amount, in real units: cobs, pods, a handful, a jar. Keep photos, notes and germination tests for every variety. Give a seed several names, in several languages. icon title items 🗓️ Care and timing Seed-saving guidance for each crop: pollination, isolation, how many plants, drying. A this-month calendar: what to sow, transplant or harvest for seed. Friendly warnings when a seed is getting old, so you renew it in time. icon title items 🔒 On paper, and off the grid Printable labels and cards for your packets and jars, each with a code to scan. One tap saves a sealed backup; a recovery card brings everything back. Works fully offline, with no account. Your data stays on your phone unless you send it. icon title items 🤝 Share and stay connected Offer spare seed to give away, swap or sell — and see what others share. Save a search and get notified in the app as soon as a match shows up nearby. Private messages to arrange a swap, person to person. Vouch for people you've met and see who you can trust. Make a plantaré promise: agree to return part of what you multiply. Keep everything in sync across your own devices.	title points Why Tane is different 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; what you share travels through community servers anyone can run — not a company's central server. 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.
