Private, on-device plant care

Citrus Care

Is your plant dying? Take a photo — the app tells you what's wrong and exactly what to do about it, then reminds you to check back. Like a pet-care app, but for plants. Free, no account, and the AI runs on your phone.

Care loop

From symptom photo to recovery record.

1

Capture the symptom

Use the in-app camera to frame a leaf, whole plant, or pruning wound in good light — one shutter, no modes.

2

Get structured diagnosis

The on-device model returns a scored summary, likely causes, symptom severity, and prioritized next steps.

3

Track recovery

Compare follow-up photos, see whether a plant is better, same, or worse, and keep the timeline intact.

Diagnostic modes

Built for the messy middle of plant care.

Get the app

Leaf and stem checks

Spot chlorosis, pest patterns, watering stress, and nutrient issues across citrus and other garden plants.

Branch wound diagnostics

Evaluate pruning cuts, collar preservation, dieback risk, and recovery recommendations after trimming.

Quarantine alerts

Flag riskier findings quickly so sensitive plants can be separated while you treat or monitor symptoms.

Weather-aware watering

Each plant gets a watering rhythm that adjusts to your local forecast, with a gentle reminder when it's due.

Practical coverage

Keep the everyday observations close to the diagnosis.

Production-minded foundation

  • Native Android app built with Expo

On your phone

Get the app

Citrus Care is a free Android app. There is no sign-up and no server — your plants, photos, and history live only on your phone.

Android

Download the APK (161 MB)

Installs directly — no Play Store yet. Your browser will warn about apps from outside the store; that's normal for a direct download.

Don't trust it? The full source code is public — check it on GitHub

Before you install

  • A recent Android phone with about 2 GB of free storage
  • A one-time ~1.3 GB download for the on-device AI model, over Wi-Fi
  • No graphics card or VRAM involved — the AI shares your phone's normal memory. 6 GB+ RAM recommended; weaker devices get an honest “can’t run it” message instead of a broken experience

Installing

  1. 1Download the APK from the button above.
  2. 2Open the downloaded file and tap Install (allow your browser to install apps if asked).
  3. 3Open Citrus Care and, on first run, download the on-device AI model over Wi-Fi.

What leaves your phone: nothing

There is no account and no server. Photos are analyzed by AI running on the device itself, and your plants and history are stored only on the phone. That also means losing or resetting the phone loses the data — so the app lets you export a backup file whenever you like.
