Seed / Digital Seed Binder

Product design / AI-assisted developmentPersonal practice

Seed app showcase displaying a mobile binder of categorized seed packets. — Seed — a digital seed binder connected to the garden.

The Seed Binder's category stacks with vegetable seed packets. — Packets, compact cards, and category stacks offer different ways to browse a collection.

Plant profiles keep care information and its source close to the collection.

Seed calendar showing colored planting, growing, and harvest windows for a sample seed collection. — The calendar connects a seed collection to seasonal windows and garden records.

My Garden square-foot planner with a four-by-four-foot raised bed containing carrots, herbs, radishes, pepper, and marigolds. — A sample square-foot plan shows crop spacing and plant counts within a measured bed.

Seed is a digital seed binder that brings seed packets, plant references, seasonal plans, and garden records into a personal collection. A tactile binder interface makes the collection easy to browse, while profiles and calendars connect what is on hand with what comes next.

My contribution

I use AI-assisted development to explore a personal interest in gardening through software. The design centers on the familiar seed packet, then connects it to searchable information, planting decisions, and a record of the garden over time.

How can a seed collection become a useful companion through the growing season?

From input to outcome

Capture the packet

Add a seed through search or packet scanning, then review the recognized identity and printed information before saving.

Connect the season

Bring plant profiles and regional planting windows into a calendar. Keep estimates distinct from actual garden records.

Keep the history

Record plantings, observations, photographs, and harvests, with portable backups for the collection.

The planting calendar

Read the growing season in year, month, or week views. Planting, seedling, growing, fruiting, and harvest stages connect the seed collection to regional windows and dated garden records. Source notes and estimated dates remain visible.

My Garden / Square-foot planner

Shape a raised bed, in-ground bed, or container and set its dimensions, soil depth, and sunlight. Place seeds on a one-foot grid, review spacing and suggested plant counts, and connect the plan to planting records and a garden journal.

Inside the application

Actual app screens

Plant profiles keep care information and its source close to the collection.

AI supports the development process. The app's packet OCR runs locally; its core collection does not require a generative-AI service. Screens show sample records. Regional guidance is location-dependent.
