Whether you're maintaining a tropical rainforest environment or a desert habitat, Freya provides the automation and precision you need to keep your vivarium thriving.

Your Vivarium. Your Control. Your Freedom.

Open Source

Freya is completely open source. Every line of code, circuit diagram, and design file is freely available. This means you can inspect, modify, and improve the system to suit your exact needs. No black boxes, no proprietary lock-in—just transparent, community-driven development.

Right to Repair

Your hardware, your rules. Freya is designed to be repairable and maintainable. With accessible components, clear documentation, and modular design, you can fix, upgrade, or replace any part yourself. No need to send it back to a manufacturer or buy a whole new unit when something breaks.

Self-Ownership

No subscriptions. No cloud dependencies. No big tech surveillance. Freya runs entirely on your own hardware, with your data staying on your device. You own the system outright—no monthly fees, no forced updates, no remote shutdowns. Your vivarium, your control, your privacy.
