Foraged, caught, tasted. Everything you find becomes your own field guide, with the photo, date, place, weather and moon phase of that moment. (The app is in Japanese.)
TORULOG is a field guide that you build yourself. Record the things you actually found — with the photo, date, place and the weather of that moment — and they become your own collection.
Note: the app is currently available in Japanese only.
No ready-made species data is included. Only what you found appears. Wild plants, fish you caught, birds, mushrooms, insects, ramen shops, cafés, street finds — anything you want to collect can become a card.
- Date and place from your photo
Pick a photo and its date and location go straight into the record. If the photo has no location, use your current location or choose on the map.
- Any collection you like
Start from templates for everyday, nature and city finds, or make your own card. Keep a list of things you still want to find. The app starts with three sample cards and records.
- Weather and moon phase, kept for good
The weather (temperature, humidity, wind, sky) for the date and place is fetched from Apple Weather and saved. Moon phase, sunrise and sunset are shown too.
- Look back on a map and a calendar
See every place on the map, and browse records by date or on a calendar. Filter with favorites and tags.
- Badges for finding things outdoors
- Your records stay on your device
No account needed. Back up to a ZIP file and restore it on another device.
Free: records, photos, weather, map and backup, with no limits on the number of records.
PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription):
- Import bird and insect sounds recorded with a recorder app, and view them as spectrograms
- Turn a card into a single PDF with photos, maps, weather and spectrograms
- No ads
Imported sounds stay playable even without PRO.
Please do not over-collect, and do not enter places where entry is prohibited.
