## What is Bird Watch Identifier?

BirdWatch turns your Apple Watch into a pocket-sized birding companion. Hold up your wrist, listen for a few seconds, and BirdWatch tells you what's singing nearby — without ever pulling out your phone.

KEY FEATURES

• On-wrist identification — once installed, no phone needed.
• 8-second listen window with a live progress ring.
• Confidence score for every result so you know how sure the watch is.
• Local sightings log — every identification is saved with date, time, and confidence.
• Beautiful, glanceable bird cards with quick facts and habitat notes.
• Recognizes common bird groups: crows, owls, ducks, geese, woodpeckers, songbirds, finches, robins, jays, cardinals, mockingbirds, hummingbirds, parrots, gulls, doves, hawks, and more.
• Vertical-page navigation tuned for the small screen.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

BirdWatch processes audio entirely on-device using Apple's Sound Analysis framework. No recordings are ever stored, uploaded, or transmitted. We don't collect any personal data, ever. There are no accounts, no ads, no trackers, and no servers — your watch does all the work.

DESIGNED FOR THE WRIST

Big tap target. Animated waveform during listening. Clear status text. Vertical pages between Listen and Sightings. Built specifically for watchOS — not a phone app crammed onto a small screen.

GREAT FOR

• Backyard birders building a daily list
• Walks, hikes, and nature outings
• Teachers and parents introducing kids to the joy of birding
• Anyone curious about the bird that just sang outside the window

WHAT TO EXPECT

BirdWatch identifies birds at the family or common-name level — for example, "Crow", "Songbird", or "Hummingbird" — using Apple's general-purpose sound classifier. It's purpose-built for fast, in-the-moment recognition on your wrist. For precise species ID under tough acoustic conditions, pair it with a dedicated tool like Merlin or eBird.

Step outside. Listen. Learn what's around you.
