Zone-aware, date-aware
Not a generic planting chart. The guidance is based on your specific zone, your microclimate, and what week it actually is right now.

Sow What? Now!
A privacy-first gardening PWA that uses AI to give home gardeners instant, location-specific planting guidance — no account required, no ads, no tracking.
What it does
Tell it your zip code (or let it use your location) and it figures out your exact growing zone and microclimate. From there it gives you a complete planting guide tailored to right now — what to direct sow this week, what to start in trays, when your frost dates are, and what to plant near what.
The AI layer means the guidance isn't just a generic zone chart — it accounts for your actual conditions and the current date to tell you what's actionable today.

Why it's different
Genuinely privacy-first
No email, no account, no tracking cookies, no analytics following you around. Location data is used to answer your question and nothing else.
Installs like an app
Built as a Progressive Web App — add it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app. Works great offline once loaded.
No friction
Open it, enter your zip, get your guide. No onboarding flow, no subscription prompt, no ads between you and your answer.
