Describe what you want to grow. Get back a system you can actually build — pump sizes, pipe runs, lights and all. Anyponics turns that description into a complete plan: system type, pump and pipe sizing, lighting, climate hardware, a full parts list with costs, and step-by-step build instructions. Stop guessing. Stop juggling spreadsheets and forum threads. HOW IT WORKS Describe your goal in your own words — "40 heads of lettuce in my 8×10 basement, no fish, beginner" or "enclosed acrylic grow cabinet for my apartment, vertical tower inside, LED bars on the side walls, quiet at night" — and Anyponics designs the system for you: the right method, the hardware, the numbers, and the reasoning behind each choice. ANY BUILD, ANY SCALE From a mason jar of basil on a windowsill (Kratky, no pump) to a 5-tier microgreens rack in your closet, an enclosed apartment grow cabinet with side-wall LED bars, a 4×4 grow tent, or an off-grid solar greenhouse with fish — Anyponics sizes each one to your exact dimensions. WHAT YOU GET • System recommendation — NFT, DWC, drip, media bed, ebb & flow, vertical tower, microgreens trays, Kratky, or a full aquaponic loop — matched to your crop, space, and skill level • Hydraulics done right — pump GPH, pipe diameters and lengths, total dynamic head • Lighting design — PPFD target, DLI, photoperiod, fixture count, side-wall LED bars for cabinets, T5 strips for microgreens • Climate sizing — exhaust CFM, dehumidifier capacity, mini-split BTU, CO₂ tank size, circulation fan count • Multi-tier rack planning — tier count, clearance per tier, plants per tier • Complete bill of materials with quantities and cost estimates • Step-by-step build guide with illustrations matched to your design — tick off each step and each part as you go, and pick up where you left off • A built-in design verifier that flags anything that doesn't add up • Running cost and payback — monthly bill, cost per kilogram, and whether it beats the supermarket • A feed plan sized to your reservoir, plus care reminders on your system's own schedule • Off-grid support — solar, gravity-fed, and rainwater options • Honest design feedback — Anyponics flags real tradeoffs (e.g., a fully sealed cabinet without CO₂ injection will plateau plant growth) right in the rationale HYDROPONIC + AQUAPONIC Growing with fish? Anyponics sizes the fish tank, biofilter, and fish-to-plant ratio alongside the plant side. Works from a single betta in a 10-gallon aquarium up to 30 trout in a greenhouse loop. PLAN IN YOUR SPACE Scan your room with LiDAR for accurate dimensions, and preview the real footprint of a build in AR before you commit a dollar. FREE TO START Design 3 complete systems free — full detail, full parts list. Anyponics Pro unlocks unlimited designs, AR size preview, design export, and side-by-side compare. One-time purchase, no subscription. A NOTE ON ACCURACY Anyponics produces hobbyist-grade planning estimates. For large systems, significant vertical lift, or electrical work near water, verify the design with a qualified professional and follow local codes. All electrical near water must use GFCI protection. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Anyponics Pro | $9.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-21 Sharper App Store listing, same app. This release is mostly about being easier to find and easier to understand at a glance. No feature changes since 1.0.4 — the running-cost estimates, feed plan, care reminders and reading log are all still there, and BOM prices remain on 2026 baselines. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-11 Up-to-date prices in the parts list. • Every price in the bill of materials has been re-based from 2024 to 2026 figures, category by category — 83 in all. Structural materials moved most, around 9% for steel shelving and lumber. • LED lighting came down about 8%. LED prices per watt keep falling, and a flat inflation bump would have quietly overcharged the brightest line in most builds. • Designs you have already saved keep the prices they were built with. Generate a new design to see current costs. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-09 Dark mode, and a plan that keeps going after the build. • Dark mode throughout. Every screen now follows your iPhone's appearance. • NEW — What it costs to run. Anyponics sized your lights and pump, so it already knows the load: monthly running cost, cost per kilogram grown, and an honest answer on whether the build ever pays for itself. It will tell you when it doesn't. • NEW — A feed plan worked out from your system. Target EC and pH by growth stage, with doses scaled to your actual reservoir and your tap water's own EC subtracted so you don't overfeed. Aquaponic systems are told to supplement iron, potassium and calcium instead of dosing base nutrient — the fish are the nutrient. • NEW — Care reminders. pH checks, top-ups and reservoir changes on your system's own schedule, tightened while it's still settling in. Log a pH or EC reading and Anyponics compares it to what the design was built to run at. • Tick off build steps and parts as you go. Progress is saved between visits, and the parts list shows what's still to buy. • Your library is searchable and sortable, with swipe to delete. • The guided form now asks about enclosure, multi-tier racks, lighting, climate, CO2 and dosing — and handles single-plant builds. • Descriptions in inches or centimetres are read correctly. "A 30x20x72 inch cabinet" is no longer treated as a 30-foot room. • VoiceOver reads the system diagrams and parts list properly. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-25 Anyponics now plans the full range of indoor grows — from a mason jar of basil to a multi-tier microgreens rack in your closet to an enclosed grow cabinet in your apartment. Microgreens trays Multi-tier rack builds with T5 strips, hemp mats, and a full 1020-tray BOM. No pump, no plumbing — just trays, seeds, and a 14-day cycle. Grow cabinets, tents, and closets Plans enclosed apartment cabinets with LED bars on side walls, ventilated grow tents, and closet rack builds — sized to your exact dimensions. Climate sizing Automatic exhaust CFM, dehumidifier pints/day, mini-split BTU, CO₂ tank size, and circulation fan count based on your room. Honest design feedback Flags physical tradeoffs in the rationale — like the fact that a fully sealed cabinet without CO₂ injection will plateau plant growth. Builds at any scale Schema now supports designs from a single mason jar (1 plant) up to off-grid solar greenhouses (hundreds of plants). Smarter sizing Plant count now clamps to what physically fits your stated footprint — no more impossible designs. Tailored build steps Microgreens trays, cabinet panel install, side-wall LED bar mounting, and climate hardware steps each get their own walkthrough and illustration. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-22 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Anyponics | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Miestuin](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/miestuin/id6759222065) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Hydrofy: Hydroponic Plant Care](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hydrofy-hydroponic-plant-care/id6752546729) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Seasonly – Garden Calendar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seasonly-garden-calendar/id6760449584) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Growee](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/growee/id1387533617) | 3.3 (4) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Automations for Home Assistant](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/automations-for-home-assistant/id1611364069) | 2.5 (6) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Mozhi: Emotional Wellness App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mozhi-emotional-wellness-app/id6751511763) | — | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by ZHUOER TANG - [Tova Translate: Pinyin Romaji](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tova-translate-pinyin-romaji/id6764455741) - [Elderoak: Care Organizer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/elderoak-care-organizer/id6768784724) - [Note & Key - Studio Management](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/note-and-key-studio-management/id6769505528) - [Quick Maths: Brain Puzzles](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quick-maths-brain-puzzles/id6771672990) - [Kuatomind - learn daily](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kuatomind-learn-daily/id6771697559) All apps by ZHUOER TANG: https://appshunter.io/developer/1895788576 ## Related topics [grow island](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/grow-island) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
