BirdSnap: AI Bird Identifier
Offline Bird ID by Photo
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 aeroplane 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. A Northern Cardinal at the feeder, 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. That is what you need when separating a Sharp-shinned Hawk from a Cooper's.
KNOWS WHEN IT IS NOT A BIRD
Point it at a leaf, a lamp post or your laptop and BirdSnap tells you there is no bird, instead of naming the closest species anyway. Two separate models have to agree before you get a result.
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.

BirdSnap is now a camera first.
• The app opens straight to the viewfinder. Frame the bird and shoot
• Results appear on the same screen, with no sheet to dismiss
• Point it at something that is not a bird and BirdSnap says so, instead of naming one anyway
• A completely rebuilt look, with full support for Dark Mode
• Corner guides show exactly what the camera is reading
• Your life list is grouped by day and opens a full page per bird
• Imported photos now pin where the photo was taken, not where you are
• Choose the confidence a sighting needs before it is saved
Still fully offline. Still 11,179 species. Nothing leaves your iPhone.
