The store listing claimed "No account, no server, no trackers" while the app was dialling four relays at launch. The app side is fixed; this is the half a reader sees. - Store description, both locales: the false line is gone, and a new "Sharing needs the internet" block names relay.comunes.org (ours), nos.lol, relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net, says when Tane talks to them, what they can see (a key and an IP — no name, no account), and where to switch any or all of them off, or point Tane at your own. Deliberately plain: no protocol names, no jargon. The audience is gardeners; the technical detail belongs in the F-Droid thread. - The same correction on the landing page (feature card, FAQ, status). - 0.1.16+18, so the F-Droid recipe's versionCodes become 181/182/183. F-Droid reads fastlane metadata from the checkout of the newest built version, so the description only reaches it via a new release. The recipe mirror's `commit:` still points at v0.1.15 — it needs a hash that does not exist yet, and is synced here and in the fdroiddata fork once v0.1.16 is tagged.

Tane (種, "seed"; from tanemaki 種まき, "to sow seeds") is a local-first, decentralized app for
|
|
keeping and sharing traditional seeds.
|
|
|
|
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, censor, or be fined for
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
MANAGE YOUR BANK
|
|
• Add a seed with just a photo and a name — no Latin required.
|
|
• Note the year, how much you have, where it came from, germination tests.
|
|
• Search and filter; snap a photo now and name it later.
|
|
|
|
YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS
|
|
• Your seed book works with no internet at all. What you write stays on your
|
|
phone; nothing goes out unless you put some of your seeds up for sharing, or
|
|
write to someone.
|
|
• Everything is encrypted at rest on your device.
|
|
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no trackers.
|
|
• Save an encrypted backup and keep a printed recovery sheet — restore your
|
|
whole bank on a new device.
|
|
|
|
SHARE, THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DONE
|
|
• Mark what you have spare to give away, swap or sell.
|
|
• Print a catalog of what you share to take to a seed fair.
|
|
|
|
SHARING NEEDS THE INTERNET
|
|
Keeping your seed book needs nothing but your phone. Sharing does need a
|
|
connection: to get an offer or a message across to someone, Tane leaves it on
|
|
community servers — machines run by people, not by a company. Tane comes with
|
|
four: relay.comunes.org, which Asociación Comunes runs (the same people who make
|
|
Tane), plus three public ones that others already use — nos.lol, relay.damus.io
|
|
and relay.primal.net.
|
|
|
|
Tane only talks to them once you join the sharing part and agree to the
|
|
community rules. Before that it doesn't connect to anything, and messaging stays
|
|
switched off. Once you join, those servers see the key that stands for you and
|
|
the address your phone connects from — no name, no email, no account. Your seed
|
|
book itself is never sent anywhere.
|
|
|
|
You stay in charge of that list of servers. In the sharing setup you can switch
|
|
off any server on it, switch off every one of them — Tane then goes back to
|
|
being a seed book that never connects — or add the address of a different
|
|
server. Anyone can run a server of their own, and Tane works just as well with
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Tane is free software (AGPL-3.0). No ads, no commissions, no business model
|
|
— it exists to support traditional varieties and push back against the seed
|
|
monopoly.
