Verdant reads the camera's own exposure metering — the same measurement it uses to decide shutter speed — and converts it to approximate lux. It is a genuine reading, not a guess, though it is not a laboratory instrument.
No. The camera feed is used for the light measurement only. No frame is recorded, stored or uploaded, and nothing is added to your photo library.
Because the light does. That is the useful part: a spot two feet from the window and a spot across the room are often different by a factor of ten, and that difference decides what will grow there.
Most indoor spots are darker than they look — eyes adapt, cameras do not. Either move the plant nearer a window or pick a species that tolerates the light you actually have.
Free measures light and tracks a couple of plants. Pro removes the plant limit, opens the full care history, and adds the room-by-room comparison.
Verdant Pro is $4.99/month or $29.99/year, and both start with a 7-day free trial. The app is genuinely useful before you pay anything — nothing that is free today moves behind the paywall later.
