THE COMMUNITY MAP FOR SHELL HUNTERS
ShellMap turns every walk along the shore into a tiny adventure. Spot a cowrie, a scallop, or a perfect spiral whelk, snap a photo, and pin it to a shared world map. Browse what other beachcombers are finding nearby and add comments to compare notes.
PIN YOUR FINDS
- Snap or pick a photo of the shell you found
- Your GPS location pins it exactly where you stood
- Pick a shell type so other hunters can spot it from the map
- Add a short caption with the story behind the find
EXPLORE THE COAST
- A live map of shell finds from people around the world
- Tap a pin to see the photo, the spot, and what people said about it
- A Recent feed for browsing the latest discoveries first
KEEP IT FRIENDLY
- Like a find with a single tap
- Comment to ask where, when, or how
- Report or block anything that doesn't belong, in two taps
NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
ShellMap uses your iCloud account, so there is nothing to sign up for. Just open the app and start collecting. Your iCloud is never shared, your handle is anonymous by default, and your photos belong to you.
PERFECT FOR
