Probiscope

Probiscope is a private field lab for butterfly watchers, naturalists, and citizen scientists. Explore a curated species atlas, log sightings with photos and GPS, link butterflies to nectar plants, run timed meadow surveys, and keep lab notes — all on your device.

SPECIES ATLAS Browse dozens of butterflies with field photos, wing patterns, habitats, and phenology notes. Content works offline once loaded. Optionally check recent GBIF occurrence records when you have a network connection.

FIELD LOG Record observations with optional camera or photo-library images, location, habitat tags, weather context, and notes. Export a PDF field report for any entry, or back up your full catalog as JSON.

FLORA LINK Connect nectar plants with butterfly visitors, pollen loads, and microbiome-style field notes in one place — useful for pollinator and plant–insect study.

LAB BENCH Use practical lab tools for specimen IDs, symmetry checks, and related field-lab workflows so photos, swabs, and reports stay cross-referenced.

FIELD SURVEY + LIVE ACTIVITY Start a timed survey, count species in real time, and keep the session visible on the Lock Screen with Live Activity. Save results into your Field Log when you finish.

WIDGETS & PRIVACY Add a Home Screen widget for recent field activity. No account required and no cloud upload of your journal — your data stays on device, with export whenever you need it.

Camera, Photos, and Location are used only when you choose to photograph specimens or geotag observations.
