## What is Sea Shell Identifier?

IDENTIFY EVERY SHELL YOU FIND

Point your camera at a shell and ShellMap tells you what it is: common name, scientific name, family, how rare it is, and which coastlines it comes from. Then it cuts the shell out of the photo and turns it into a sticker on your own private shelf.

SNAP AND KNOW

- Opens straight into the camera, or pick a photo from your library
- The shell is lifted out of its background automatically, no tracing
- A full report: species, family, rarity, typical size, habitat and known regions
- Honest about doubt: when a worn or broken shell cannot be pinned down, ShellMap says so instead of inventing a species

YOUR OWN COLLECTION

- Every shell becomes a die-cut sticker on a paper shelf
- Tap any shell for its full field-guide entry
- Add your own notes: the tide, the weather, who you were with
- A private map shows exactly where you picked each one up

COMPLETELY PRIVATE

- No account, no profile, no feed, no followers
- Your shells sync between your own devices through your iCloud, and nowhere else
- Nothing is ever shared or made public
- Free, with no limits and nothing to unlock

WORKS ON THE BEACH

Shells save instantly, even with no signal. When you are back online, one tap identifies them.

PERFECT FOR

- Beachcombers and rock-pool wanderers
- Families on summer holidays
- Naturalists, biologists and amateur conchologists
- Anyone who cannot walk past a beach without looking down

Pick it up. Point the camera. Know what it is.
