WildScribe
Nature Journaling made simple
$2.99 · Designed for iPad
WildScribe helps you track outdoor days, places, photos, sightings, and notes with logbook summaries and clean PDF/HTML report export
WildScribe is a clean, practical nature journal built for outdoor educators, forest school programs, homeschool groups, families, and anyone who wants an organized record of time spent outside.
This app is designed for tracking and documenting your outdoor days. It’s not a field guide, and it isn’t a safety or survival manual. WildScribe helps you capture what happened, where you were, what you noticed, and how your time outside is adding up over weeks and months.
Use WildScribe to build a personal (or program) record of outdoor learning and observation. Create day entries, attach photos, link your notes to places on a map, and keep a running log of sightings and discoveries. When you need to share your documentation, export clean reports you can print or send.
What you can do in WildScribe
Nature Journal
Create day-based journal entries with highlights and observations. Add photos from your device to preserve moments, discoveries, and evidence of learning in a simple, consistent format.
Areas
Save meaningful outdoor locations as Areas and keep notes specific to each place. Track nature play observed, gear or equipment noted, and quickly see relevant activity connected to that spot.
Map pins
Pin your Areas, animal sightings, and flora/fungi finds to a map so your journal becomes a living record of where things happened. It’s easy to return to favorite locations and notice patterns over time.
Animal sightings
Record what you saw and link sightings to locations. Build a timeline of observations and connect them to the places you visit most.
Built-in reference libraries
Browse Animals and Flora & Fungi libraries to support your journaling and help label what you’re observing. These are quick reference notes meant to support documentation, not a full identification guide.
Logbook summaries
Track your outdoor time with clear summaries. View weekly, monthly, or custom ranges and see total hours, days outside, journal entries, and sightings at a glance.
Export reports
Generate shareable day reports in PDF or HTML. Perfect for program documentation, parent updates, portfolios, or simply keeping a printable record of your time outdoors.
WildScribe is made to be simple, fast, and useful in the real world. No accounts, no complicated setup. Just a straightforward way to record outdoor time and the stories that come with it.
