01
Capture in the moment
Photograph a plant, animal, insect, fungus, sea creature, or other species directly in the app while you are outdoors.
Product Summary
Naturalis turns everyday encounters into a personal natural history.
Naturalis is an iOS companion for people who walk, garden, bird, forage, observe, and pay attention. It begins with a photograph in the field and becomes a durable record of what you have actually seen.
Each species you identify is added to your private library. New species can become fuller entries over time, with bespoke scientific-style illustration and editorial reference material that makes the archive richer with every encounter.
What it is
An identification tool, a field journal, and a growing illustrated archive.
Feature Overview
The core flow is built for clarity, trust, and quiet accumulation.
02
Verify recognition
Confirm the identification before it is filed, so your collection feels dependable rather than automatic.
03
Grow a personal library
Known species are added immediately to your archive, organized by category and kept as a record of your own sightings.
04
Create richer species pages
New species receive generated illustration and reference content including habitat, range, seasonality, lookalikes, and facts.
05
Read each species in detail
Open a dedicated entry with scientific naming, overview text, and a chronology of when and where you have seen it.
06
Keep working offline
Low-network captures can queue quietly and sync when connection returns, so field use stays practical.
Experience Preview
Three surfaces that define the product.
Library
A collected record of what you have found
Species gather into categories such as Animal, Plant, Insect, Fungi, Sea Creature, and Other, turning observations into a personal body of knowledge.
Capture
A focused, low-friction field interaction
The capture flow is designed to be calm and practical outdoors, with subtle status cues rather than noisy prompts.
Species Detail
An editorial reference page with memory attached
Illustration, scientific naming, educational context, and your sightings history live together in a durable species entry.
Why It Matters
Build a private natural history one encounter at a time.
Naturalis is valuable not only because it identifies what you find, but because it helps you remember. Walks, sightings, and seasonal returns begin to accumulate into a personal record of attention.
Over time, the app becomes less like a utility and more like an archive: part notebook, part guide, part collected evidence of a life spent noticing the living world.
“Designed for the people who keep lists, notice first blossoms, and remember where they saw a bird last winter.”
