The Local-First Emissions Tracker
Free, private carbon tracking for UK organisations. All processing occurs on your device, with no cloud uploads or data leaks.
Public Beta (v2.2.3) | Pilot Access from July 2026
Join the PilotWhy Local Matters
Most carbon calculators require you to upload sensitive supply chain data, travel logs, and financial details to remote servers. ROOTED rejects the cloud default.
ROOTED runs entirely on your device. See how local-first compares to cloud-based calculators.
Your Data Stays With You
Your financial data and intellectual property never leave your machine.
Lower Energy, Lower Impact
Small, local models consume a fraction of the energy of giant cloud data centres.
Works Offline, Always Available
Your tools work offline, ensuring resilience even when infrastructure fails.
Join the Pilot Cohort
ROOTED is free for SMEs, sole traders, and non-profits. The pilot programme is building real-world evidence that local-first AI tools can deliver meaningful climate action. That evidence will support funding applications to scale this work across the UK and EU.
Pilot access begins July 2026. Register your interest now and we will be in touch when places open.
The Goal
Build the evidence base. Your participation proves that privacy-first emissions tracking works in practice, and helps secure funding to keep it free.
The Commitment
Use ROOTED to track your emissions and share honest feedback on the experience.
The Reward
Be part of the founding cohort. Shape the tool's development and help prove that ethical technology can compete with the cloud giants.
