## What is Chitin?

Point your camera at a bug and find out what it really is.

Chitin identifies insects, spiders, and other arthropods from a single photo — and tells you how sure it is. No fake certainty. When the match is strong, you get a clear answer. When it isn't, you get the most likely candidates side by side, so you can decide for yourself.

WHY CHITIN IS DIFFERENT

Most identifier apps lock you out after one tap, bury you in ads, or pretend they're always right. Chitin doesn't.

- Your first scan is free and fully unlocked. No account required.
- No ads. Ever.
- No weekly subscription traps.
- Honest confidence. We show our certainty instead of faking it.
- Spiders and arachnids are fully supported — not an afterthought.

WHAT YOU GET WITH EVERY IDENTIFICATION

- A likely species, with a plain-language confidence read.
- Top candidates when a single answer isn't honest.
- Safety and caution notes — flagging species worth keeping your distance from.
- Common look-alikes, so you know what's easy to confuse.
- Clear, readable results designed for the field, not a lab.

BUILT FOR THE CURIOUS

Whether you found something on your windowsill, in the garden, on a hike, or in the basement, Chitin helps you name it with respect for the truth. Gardeners, parents, hikers, naturalists, and anyone who has ever asked "what is that?" will feel at home.

A FIELD INSTRUMENT, NOT A TOY

Chitin is built for iOS with a dark, focused design that gets out of your way. Open it, point, and shoot. Results come back fast and read cleanly in bright sun or low light.

CHITIN PRO

Upgrade for unlimited identifications and deeper detail. Choose a monthly or yearly plan — no weekly option, no pressure. Your first scan is always free, so you can try before you decide.

A NOTE ON ACCURACY

Nature is messy, and no identifier is perfect. Chitin is designed to be honest about what it knows and what it doesn't. For medical, allergy, or pest-control decisions, always consult a qualified professional. Treat any wild creature with care.

Found something? Open Chitin and ask.
