vidi codex

Vidi turns the real world into a collection game.

See a bird you can't name? A flower, a city landmark, a dish you've never tried? Point your camera at it. A team of AI naturalists studies the photo and tells you what it is — and that find becomes a beautifully illustrated card in your personal Codex.

EXPLORE • IDENTIFY • COLLECT

• Snap anything alive or built — birds, plants, flowers, trees, insects, fish, buildings, food and more.
• An AI ensemble identifies your photo and proposes a card. You're always in charge: nothing is ever saved until YOU confirm it. Wrong guess? Add a hint or a second angle and search again.
• Every find becomes a Codex card with the species or subject's story, fun facts, a pixel-art portrait, and — for many birds — a recording of its call.
• Fill themed sets: Songbirds, Waterfowl, Raptors, Wildflowers, Trees, Historic Buildings, Street Snacks and dozens more. Sets unlock as you discover, and earn bronze, silver and gold seals as they grow.
• Level up. Earn XP, climb the levels, unlock achievements and equippable titles — Bird Watcher, Botanist, City Scholar and more.

COLLECT TOGETHER

• Pair with a companion to merge your collections — every set shows what the two of you have found together.
• Add friends, follow a discovery feed, and climb a friendly weekly leaderboard.
• Send a friend a postcard of a favorite find.

A FIELD JOURNAL THAT REMEMBERS

• Your Field Almanac charts where and when you explore, your busiest months, and the breadth of your personal tree of life.
• A gentle weekly prompt nudges you toward something new to discover near you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No ads. No third-party trackers. We never identify people — the camera is for nature, places and objects, and faces, documents and private details are automatically screened out and never turned into a card.

Vidi works best outdoors, on a walk, in a park, at the market — anywhere there's something new to notice. Slow down, look closer, and start your Codex.
