Coming to iPhone

Bird photography,
elevated.

The photo-first birding app. Your shots organized by species, location, and moment — full EXIF intact, no algorithm between you and what you came to see.

We'll let you know when it's ready.

The photo

is everything.

01

A feed that respects your eye.

Chronological, always. Photos at their natural aspect ratio, no crops. The birders you follow, newest first — that's the whole algorithm.

02

Every detail, preserved.

Camera, lens, f-stop, shutter speed, ISO. Species, place, and date, right there with the photo. Everything that mattered about how you made the shot.

03

Find by species, place, or moment.

Browse by family, zoom the map, or filter by timeframe. Everything the community has shot — and for any species, where birders have found it and the best time of year to look.

04

Your life list. Your story.

Every species you've photographed. Your first date for each one. A map of everywhere you've been. A field guide that grows with every shot you share.

Most apps are built around attention.

Plumage is built around photographs.

For people who bring real glass.

Not just birders who happen to own a camera. The people who check the forecast before bed, set 4am alarms, and already know which focal length they'll want.

EXIF preserved

Camera, lens, focal length, shutter, aperture, ISO. Every shot's full technical story, right there on the photo.

Where to find it

For any species, see where birders have found it and the best months to look, near any place you choose. Powered by millions of open wildlife records.

Location precision

Control whether your location is exact, obscured, or hidden. Sensitive species sites are protected automatically.

Species identification

On-device AI suggests a species from your photo before you finish typing. Runs locally on your phone — no upload, no extra subscription.

Share cards

Export a composed image with species name, location, camera settings, and your handle. Everything worth knowing about the shot, ready to share anywhere.

A quiet place
for serious
bird photographers.

For bird photographers who have strong opinions about light, focal length, and timing — and nowhere good to put the shots. No counts, no rankings. Just photographs from people who know what they're looking at.
