kiri
A smart terminal companion for tracking your plants
kiri is a minimalist, smart, local TUI (Terminal User Interface) companion for tracking your plants' care. It smoothly calculates moisture levels, reminds you when to water, logs your plant care history, and dynamically adjusts to current weather and seasons for outdoor plants.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Pavel, a Senior Frontend Developer. As someone who spends the entire day in the terminal and manages a desktop environment tailored for efficiency, I had a very specific, real-world problem: I kept forgetting to water my indoor plants, and every existing mobile app felt too bloated or out of my workflow.
I wanted a beautiful, keyboard-driven, lightweight status board right in my console. The catch? My main stack is React/Next.js, but for a fast, zero-dependency TUI, I knew it had to be built with Go and the Bubble Tea framework.
To bridge the gap and move fast, I built kiri in close tandem with AI. It was a fascinating experiment in AI-pair programming—leveraging my engineering background to design the architecture, local SQLite storage, and UI layout, while letting the AI help me spin up the Go code efficiently.
What makes kiri special:
Fully Interactive TUI: Smooth tabbed navigation, card grids, and a clean calendar view.
Smart Hydration Model: It doesn't just use static timers; it factors in seasonal shifts and live weather/precipitation data via the Open-Meteo API for outdoor setups.
UNIX-way Ready: Built-in --status and --json flags so you can pipe data straight into your custom system bars (Waybar, Polybar, etc.) or tmux.
100% Local & Lightweight: Powered by a fast local SQLite DB with zero external runtime dependencies.
kiri is completely free, open-source, and crafted for everyone who loves terminal aesthetics and wants to keep their green friends alive.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you have. How do you track your plants? Let me know in the comments! 🌿
