YardWild

YardWild turns your Ring outdoor cameras into a passive backyard wildlife observation system. When motion is detected, YardWild identifies the non-bird wildlife visiting your property and builds an ongoing, curated timeline of sightings.

- AI-powered species identification with confidence scores
- Per-camera timeline of who came by, with a snapshot of each visit
- Species library with biodiversity score and badges
- Conservation status from the IUCN Red List plus Wikipedia summaries
- Optional citizen-science contribution to iNaturalist (anonymized, fuzzed location)
- Push notifications for notable species, with quiet hours and vacation mode

Privacy by design:
- We never identify humans or birds.
- Frames containing only people are discarded by a pre-filter before any AI analysis.
- No location tracking. No advertising. No data sales.
- Account deletion completes within 24 hours.

Requires a Ring outdoor camera and a Ring account.
