A field journal.

You log what you find outside. Every entry holds the date, the weather, the season, the moment.


A registry of 228.

Eight categories — birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, plants, trees, fungi. The species worth knowing. Everything else fills your Field Log, and no two sightings are the same.


A quiet companion.

There's a frog named Aldo who points things out. What's in season. What's nesting. What just came through.

The naming

Every creature gets a name.

Spot a Carolina Wren and Pocket Wild names it Clover. Spot a Heron and meet Down. Spot a Raccoon and meet Wee Biscuit.

Every sighting is automatically given a name from a curated list — a small gift, a tiny piece of magic. Want to rename your sighting yourself? Tap and rename. The journal is yours.

The Registry

228 species. The ones worth knowing.

Eight categories: birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, plants, trees, fungi.

Common enough to find. Beautiful enough to remember. Varied enough to surprise you for years.

A frog who notices

Meet Aldo.

A frog with a sense of what's around. He'll point things out — a goldfinch passing through this week, the first frost, the species worth looking for today.

Aldo notices. So can we.

The Collection

Your collection. On display.

A pixel-art museum that fills as you go. Every sighting, every name, every season. The journal you keep without trying to keep one.
