Spotter - Nature Identifier

You're on the trail and you spot something you don't recognize — a berry, a mushroom, a snake, a flower growing off the path. Is it safe? What is it? Spotter gives you a full identification on the spot, so you can keep moving with confidence.

🥾 BUILT FOR THE TRAIL
Spotter is the essential companion for hikers, backpackers, foragers, and nature explorers. Point your camera at anything outdoors and get a detailed identification in seconds — no signal required for the photo, results delivered the moment you have one.

🌿 IDENTIFY ANYTHING YOU ENCOUNTER OUTDOORS
• Plants — wildflowers, trees, berries, shrubs, and trailside growth
• Animals — birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and more
• Fungi — mushrooms, brackets, and everything in between
• Other — rocks, minerals, fossils, and natural features

⚠️ SAFETY INFORMATION WHEN IT COUNTS
Know before you touch. Know before you eat. Every identification includes safety and handling notes — critical when you're deep in the backcountry and far from help.

📋 ANSWERS THAT MATTER ON THE TRAIL
Every identification goes beyond the name. Spotter tells you:
• Overview — habitat and ecology so you understand what you found
• Identity — key features to confirm the species
• Regions — whether it's native to where you're hiking
• Safety — edibility, toxicity, and handling warnings
• Care — useful if you want to grow something you discovered

🗺️ WORKS WITH YOUR LOCATION
Spotter uses your location to provide regional context, so identifications are more accurate for the area you're actually hiking in.

🔊 REFERENCE PHOTOS & FIELD RECORDINGS
Compare what you photographed against reference images from the field. For animals, listen to recorded sounds so you can recognize species by ear as well as by sight.

📖 BUILD YOUR PERSONAL FIELD LOG
Every identification is saved automatically. Browse your full history after a trip — a personal record of every species you've encountered across every trail you've hiked.

🌍 DISCOVER WHAT'S IN SEASON NEAR YOU
The built-in field guide surfaces species observed near your location this month, so you know what to expect before you even hit the trailhead.
