Some places are worth keeping to yourself. The ledge that fishes on the run-out tide. The pine block that turns up mushrooms after rain. The creek bank where you once found colour. Fossick is your own private treasure map. Save the places you discover, what you found there and what the day was like. For fishing, foraging, fossicking, metal detecting, birdwatching, beachcombing and the little discoveries that keep you coming back. MARK THE PLACES WORTH RETURNING TO Drop an X where you stand, on the map or from coordinates. Name your place, record your finds and mark the months worth visiting. See what's in season and how much rain has fallen since your last visit. REMEMBER WHAT THE DAY WAS LIKE Log finds with quantities, photos and notes. Hold to record a voice note, transcribed on your phone. Rain, wind, temperature and moon phase are saved with your finds, plus the tide on the coast. TURN BACK BEFORE SUNSET Track your walk as you go. Fossick estimates when to turn around to reach your starting point before sunset, based on your pace so far. Follow your recorded trail back, with the remaining distance shown. Finished walks are saved. TAKE YOUR MAP OFFLINE Explore a topo map styled like an old chart, with tracks, creeks, contours and hill shading. Save map areas before losing signal. Your saved places and finds work offline, and satellite imagery is available when connected. READ UP BEFORE YOU GO In NSW, Queensland and NT, tap a park, state forest or fossicking area for summaries of what official pages say about camping, dogs, fishing, foraging and more, where covered. Sources are linked; official pages and signs on site have the final say. Log a recognised fish in Australia for a link to the relevant state's or territory's official size and bag limits. WHAT THE SEA IS DOING Explore depth shading, reefs, beaches, boat ramps and marine park zones along the NSW and Queensland coast, plus NT marine parks. Tap the sea or beach for forecasts of tides, swell, waves and water temperature. Beach fossicks show the day's high and low tides, saved for offline use. FOUND SOMEWHERE GOOD? SHARE IT Send a place to a mate by AirDrop, Messages or another app, or hold two phones together to share without internet. They choose whether to save it. Finds and smaller copies of photos go along; voice recordings stay with you. YOUR PHOTOS REMEMBER TOO If you choose, Fossick looks through your photos on your phone for fish, mushrooms, birds and more, and suggests where you found them. Nothing is saved until you choose. YOURS ALONE No account, ads, analytics, feed or public pins. Your places, finds and photos stay on your phone and in your own iPhone backup unless shared or exported. Fossick has no server storing them. Maps and forecasts are downloaded as needed. Weather and sea requests send only a rough location (about 10 km) and dates; you can turn them off. ALSO • Siri and Shortcuts to drop a fossick or log a find. • Back up and restore places and finds to a file (photos not included). STARTING IN AUSTRALIA Save your own places wherever you go.
