BirdSnap: AI Bird Identifier
Photo ID Offline, 11K Species
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Identify 11,179 bird species from a photo — with no internet connection.
BirdSnap runs entirely on your iPhone. No server, no account, no signal. Point your camera at a bird deep in a forest, out on a marsh, or halfway up a mountain trail, and get an answer in about a second.
WORKS WHERE THE BIRDS ARE
Cell service disappears exactly where birding gets good. BirdSnap doesn't care. Every identification happens on your device, so it works in airplane mode, deep inside a national park, or anywhere your signal gives out.
11,179 SPECIES WORLDWIDE
Powered by BioCLIP, a biological vision model trained on more than 200 million images of living organisms. Covers the world's birds, not just your region — from a Northern Cardinal at the feeder to a Greater Flamingo on a salt lake.
INSTANT AND PRIVATE
Your photos never leave your phone. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, and there is no account to create.
FIVE MATCHES, NOT ONE GUESS
See the five most likely species, each with a confidence score, so you can judge a close call yourself — the kind you need when separating a Sharp-shinned Hawk from a Cooper's.
YOUR SIGHTING HISTORY
Every identification is saved with its photo and date, grouped by day, so you can look back on what you found across a season.
No ads. No account. No tracking. Built by one person.
Identification has been rebuilt from the ground up.

If BirdSnap let you down before, this is effectively a different app. Thanks for giving it another look.
