Why we exist

Everyone should be able to grow food

We think the best way to fight food insecurity is to give people the tools and knowledge to grow their own food, and to make it so easy that anyone can actually do it.

🌿

Reconnect people with their food

Most people have no idea how their food grows. Kallyx changes that, not through lectures, but by making growing genuinely fun and rewarding. Start with a single pot of basil. We'll be there every step.

💡

Knowledge should be free

Growing knowledge is scattered across blogs, forums, and paywalled apps. Kallyx brings it all into one open, intelligent system that anyone can access, no matter where they are or what device they're on.

🤝

Growing is better together

The experienced gardener next door has decades of knowledge. The community garden down the street has spare seeds. Kallyx connects those people. Mentors to beginners, neighbors to neighbors, growers to growers.

🌍

Technology that serves people

Not another ag-tech platform for industrial farms. Kallyx is built for real people growing real food in backyards, on balconies, in community gardens, and on small plots. Self-hostable, runs on a Raspberry Pi, and your data is yours.

Platform

Everything you need to grow

It doesn't matter if you're planting your first herb pot or managing a backyard food forest. Kallyx has you covered.

🧠

AI Growing Assistant

Ask anything. "When do I plant garlic in zone 6?" or "Why are my tomato leaves curling?" You get real answers, sourced and tailored to your location, season, and soil.

📚

Living Knowledge Base

Thousands of plant profiles, growing guides, companion planting charts, pest identification, and seasonal calendars. Community-curated and AI-enriched, and it keeps getting better.

COMING SOON
🌱

Garden Tracker

Log what you're growing, when you planted, and track progress with photos. You'll get reminders like "Time to thin your carrots" or "Your lettuce is ready to harvest."

COMING SOON
👥

Community

Share your harvests. Ask your neighbors for advice. Swap seeds. Mentor a beginner. Find local growing groups. The best growing knowledge usually comes from the person next door.

Smart Sensors (Optional)

Build a low-cost DIY soil sensor that feeds real data into your assistant. Moisture, temperature, pH, EC, no more guessing. You don't need hardware to use Kallyx though.

Smart Alerts

"Your soil moisture dropped below 30%, water your tomatoes today." Real-time notifications from your sensors so nothing gets forgotten.

📱

Works Everywhere

Mobile-first. Check your garden from the couch or the field. Works offline for the essentials because not every garden has Wi-Fi.

Build Your Own Hardware

ESP32 sensor node with a 3D-printable weatherproof case. Complete parts list, wiring diagram, and step-by-step assembly guide. No soldering required.

BUILDING

Self-Hostable & Free

Run your own Kallyx instance on a Raspberry Pi, a VPS, or anywhere Docker runs. Your data stays yours. Open source, Apache 2.0. Always free.

Getting started

How it works

From zero to growing in minutes. No hardware required. No experience needed.

Tell us what you want to grow

Tomatoes? Herbs? A full vegetable garden? Tell Kallyx what you're interested in and where you are. We'll figure out the rest.

Get a personalized plan

The AI assistant creates a growing plan for your zone, season, and experience level. What to plant, when to plant it, and how, with sources you can actually trust.

Grow with guidance

Track your progress, ask questions as they come up, get reminders for key tasks. The knowledge base and community are always there when you need them.

Level up (optional)

Ready for more? Add smart sensors for data-driven insights. Join community challenges. Mentor others. Help build the knowledge base. Teach a kid to grow their first plant.

Open Hardware

Smart sensors anyone can build

A complete reference design with ESP32, capacitive soil moisture, and temperature sensors. No soldering required for the basic build. The sensor is totally optional, Kallyx works great without it.
