Build and validate the app
Development is underway, with the first version focused on reliable local control and compatibility validation.
Community-funded development
FreeWillow is being built.
FreeWillow gives Willow owners an independent app for reliable everyday control. Your contribution helps us keep building, testing and improving it — and lets you help shape what comes next through the live supporter community.
Product roadmap
Build carefully. Connect remotely. Improve together.
Every contribution adds capacity to the work already underway.
Remote connection
We are preparing secure access beyond the home network as the next major step.
Community-led improvements
Later improvements will be prioritised from real owner feedback, technical feasibility and what helps Willow users most.
Contribute and help set the direction
Help take FreeWillow further.
Your contribution gives FreeWillow more time for development, testing, compatibility and remote connection. Every verified contributor receives access to the private supporter community.
Contribute and help shape what comes next.
The live supporter community is the practical place to test sooner, bring ideas forward and make priorities visible.
Your supporter badge
Receive a Community Supporter badge after verification, distinct from the original Founding Supporter badge.
Test earlier
Opt in to early or beta releases before the general public when a test release is available.
Bring your ideas
Submit feature ideas, improvements and structured feedback in the private supporter community.
Vote on priorities
Help show which supporter proposals matter most.
Follow the outcome
See proposal status, vote totals and official FreeWillow notes.
The private supporter community, feedback board, voting and badges are live. Verified contributors outside the original cohort receive the Community Supporter badge and all participation benefits. Original first-€10,000 contributors retain their Founding Supporter badge and receive the same participation benefits. Your voice helps set priorities but does not guarantee implementation; safety, technical feasibility and the final product decision remain decisive.
The first version
Useful from day one.
A calm, multilingual app for the jobs Willow owners need: finding the robot, seeing what it is doing and controlling it locally.
Connect locally
Automatically discover compatible Willow robots; you choose when to connect locally.
Mow with confidence
View status, start or stop, return to dock and control mowing sessions.
See and protect
Access Sheriff alerts, recorded images, surveillance timing and the live camera.
Shape the garden
View and edit maps, zones, mowing settings, Wi-Fi and robot preferences.
Good questions
Clear answers.
Will my Willow be compatible?
Each Willow is intended to be compatible when it has the latest available robot software. Final compatibility depends on the available robot API and validation during development.
When will the app be ready?
Development is underway. The current phase is building and validating the first version. Exact timing depends on implementation, compatibility testing and what the available robot API supports.
What does my contribution fund?
Contributions create more capacity for development, testing, compatibility work, maintenance, remote connection and later improvements.
Will the app need the original cloud?
The first version is designed around practical local-network access using the available robot API. Some functions may still depend on what that API and the robot software make available.
What comes after the first version?
The next product focus is remote connection. After that, improvements will be prioritised from real community feedback, user value, safety and technical feasibility.
Who runs FreeWillow?
FreeWillow is organised independently as a community project. It is not operated by EEVE BV, the curator or the bankruptcy estate.
What do I receive when I contribute?
After verification, contributors receive a Community Supporter badge, early or beta access when available, structured feedback, voting and transparent proposal follow-through. Original first-€10,000 contributors retain the Founding Supporter badge instead.
Does my vote decide what gets built?
Your voice helps make community priorities visible, but it does not guarantee implementation. User value, safety, technical feasibility and the final FreeWillow product decision remain decisive.
Will FreeWillow work remotely?
Remote connection is the next development focus. Access beyond the home network requires additional infrastructure, careful security work and ongoing operation.
