Identify the bird before it flies off

Identification itself needs a connection, matching a photo or recording against the species database happens server-side. But download a regional pack before you set out and your life list, saved recordings and species pages all stay open with no signal. Anything you capture off grid, a photo or a recording, queues up and identifies itself the moment you reconnect. A day without signal never costs you a sighting, you just get the result a little later.

Accuracy follows recording quality. A close, clean song usually returns one confident match. Wind, traffic or several birds at once return a ranked shortlist with confidence scores instead of a single guess, so the final call stays with you.

Yes. Photograph the bird and BirdTune reads its field marks (size, shape, colour and markings) then ranks the likely species. It works on photos already in your library too, so an old shot you never named is fair game.

Yes, feather ID is its own mode. Lay the feather flat on a plain surface and photograph it whole. BirdTune works from barring, shape and proportion toward the likely species, and often the position the feather held on the wing.

Use Guide ID. Describe what you did catch (rough size, main colours, behaviour, where you were) and BirdTune builds a shortlist from that. It is the same ranked result you would get from a photo, just driven by your description.

Short drills that teach you to recognise birds yourself. You practise field marks, calls and songs for the species around you, in sets that take a couple of minutes. Over time you start naming birds before you reach for the phone.

Every identification with its date, location, your photo or recording and your own notes. Entries roll up into family checklists, a month-by-month birding calendar and badges. The whole list exports as a file, so it stays yours.

The database spans more than 11,000 species worldwide, browsable by family, region and country. Regional packs let you download just the areas you bird in. Coverage depth varies by region and improves with each release.

Captures are sent for identification only, and only while you are online, nothing is identified on the device itself. Your life list belongs to you and can be exported or deleted whenever you like.

Identification, species pages and the life list are free to start. BirdTune Pro raises identification limits and adds offline regional packs and the Bird Trainer drills. The current price is always shown in the app before a trial begins.

Yes. BirdTune runs on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. No sign in is required. You can identify birds and build your life list without an account. Your list lives on the device you use it on.
