BirdNET-Go Companion

BirdNET-Go Companion is a native iOS client for your self-hosted BirdNET-Go server — the open-source, AI-powered bird sound identification system. Monitor your backyard's bird activity from anywhere, with a fast, focused interface built specifically for iPhone.

FEATURES

• Daily Activity — See what's been detected today at a glance, with hourly activity charts and sun-time context. • Detections — Browse every detection with confidence scores, timestamps, and spectrograms. • Species Explore — Search and browse all species detected on your server, with photo galleries and per-species detection history going back as far as you like (7 days to all-time). • Live Audio — Stream live audio directly from your configured RTSP or sound-card sources, right from your phone. • Real-time updates — New detections appear instantly via live server updates, no refreshing required. • Multi-server support — Configure a primary and secondary server address with automatic failover. • Secure connections — Supports Cloudflare Access Service Tokens for authenticated remote access to your server.

REQUIREMENTS

BirdNET-Go Companion requires an existing BirdNET-Go server (https://github.com/tphakala/birdnet-go) running on your network or reachable remotely. This app does not include bird detection itself — it's a companion viewer and remote for a server you already run.

BirdNET-Go Companion is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BirdNET-Go project.
