About
Ossia was made for places where forensic help is hard to reach: regions with few bone specialists, no reference collections and unreliable internet. When nobody nearby can say whether a found bone is human, Ossia gives a first answer on the spot. Anyone else can use it too, whether you found a bone on a walk, at a dig or in a collection.
Take a photo with the in-app camera or pick one from your gallery. You can add up to eight angles of the same bone, and its length if you have a tape measure. Ossia looks at all the photos together and gives you a report:
• Is it a bone at all?
• Which bone it is, from 16 common bone types
• Human or animal, and for animals whether it is a mammal, bird or reptile
• For mammals, the likely family, such as deer, dogs, cattle, pigs, cats or horses
• Whether it is complete or a fragment
• Signs of fractures, cut marks or burning
• Age and sex hints where the photo allows it
• A length check against typical sizes
Every answer shows how sure Ossia is. When it isn't certain, it tells you what else the bone could be.
Bones: a field guide to the 16 bone types, each one lit up on a whole skeleton from the front and the back.
Stash: every find saved on your phone, grouped by date and searchable, with your own names and notes.
Works without internet. The analysis runs on your phone, so there is no account and no ads, and your photos stay on your device unless you switch on Online mode in Settings.
In English, German and Arabic.
Please note: Ossia gives estimates from photos and can be wrong. Its answer is a first step, not the final word: before any medical, legal or forensic decision, a bone expert should check the bone in person. If you think you have found human remains, leave them where they are and contact the local police.
