Valetudo is an opinionated software solution for cloud-free vacuum robots that has been installed on thousands of robots. Started in 2018, Valetudo has matured into a reliable fire-and-forget solution designed by Sören Beye and occasionally contributed to by others. This brand is committed to offering an open-source, locally operated alternative for vacuum robots with no telemetry built-in and no commercial interest to change that. While precise user numbers aren't available, download counts and support group members indicate a user base in the thousands.

Valetudo offers comprehensive support and guides to help users choose the right robot, install and root essentials, as well as tips for using and upgrading firmware. The brand also provides companion apps, DIY installations, and community integrations, all under the Apache-2.0 open-source license. Valetudo's creator emphasizes that it's a private, non-commercial project, likening it to a garden that's freely accessible to everyone, but ultimately owned by someone else. With a plethora of resources and a strong community, Valetudo offers a reliable, locally operated option for vacuum robots.
