## What is BirdWatch?

BirdWatch is an AI-powered bird identification app for the backyard birder who treats their feeder like a stakeout.

Snap a photo, upload from your library, or run live surveillance mode. Within seconds, an AI classifier returns a species ID, a dramatic fighting-game title, and a paragraph of cryptic metaphysical prose. Every capture is filed under a permanent specimen designation that grows your private dossier.

— FOUR MODULES, ONE CLASSIFIED PIPELINE —

• AI CLASSIFICATION
Claude vision identifies every bird with hyper-accurate species matching, with Gemini as failover. Average processing time: 3 seconds.

• LIVE SURVEILLANCE
Activate your camera for continuous frame analysis. Configurable scan intervals (5–60 seconds), rolling NEGATIVE/CONTACT log, amber detection flash. Watch the feeder so you don't have to.

• SPECIES DOSSIERS
Full intelligence files for every identified species — capture history, hourly activity signature, metaphysical readings, specimen designations (SUBJECT 001, 002, 003…), and head-to-head VS combat records with rendered verdicts.

• INTERCEPT ARCHIVE
Dozens of bird poetry audio clips play during discoveries — intercepted transmissions from the natural world. Each new species reveal earns a cinematic 3-phase notification with synced explosion video, classified-document stamping, and a tap-to-archive payoff.

— CLEARANCE TIER PROGRESSION —

Start as a Field Observer. Climb to Surveillance Specialist, Intelligence Officer, Senior Analyst, and finally Director of Ornithological Intelligence. Each tier unlocks at 5 / 15 / 30 / 50 / 100 documented species.

— FOR THE SUSPICIOUS NATURALIST —

• No ads. No third-party tracking. No location data collected.
• Photos uploaded only for AI classification and your own private dossier.
• Account optional — tap CONTINUE WITHOUT ACCOUNT to start instantly.
• Sign in with Apple supported.
• Editorial bone-on-ink visual identity, inspired by classified field intelligence.
• Surveillance session persistence — resume your stakeout where you left off.
• Crash-recovery error boundary keeps your dossier safe.

— WHAT'S NEW IN v2.3.1 —

The editorial monograph refresh. Every calm screen now uses a masthead pattern with Playfair Display italic epithets, flat signal-underlined tabs, a clipped VS hero with OFFICIAL stamp, and a floating surveillance mission cartridge. Cinematic moments stay maximum-drama; browsing surfaces went quietly editorial. The contrast IS the design.
