Find the buck. Skip the squirrels. Trail Sort is the photo-sorting app built for trail-camera hunters. Dump a full season off the SD card and Trail Sort sorts thousands of photos by species, time of day, camera, and individual buck — so you scan your whole season in minutes instead of squinting through 14,000 frames of swaying grass and squirrels. WHY HUNTERS USE TRAIL SORT • Bulk import a card and let AI sort every frame: whitetail buck, doe, fawn, turkey, hog, coyote, bear, and the rest • Obvious empty frames get culled automatically — you only review what matters • Filter to exactly what you want: "only buck photos at dawn or dusk in October" • Tinder-style swipe review: keep right, cull left, full screen • Bulk delete the junk in one tap and reclaim your storage BUILD A CATALOG OF YOUR BUCKS Tag the shooters you're after and Trail Sort builds your season catalog. Each buck gets his own page: hero photo, a timeline of every sighting, and a clean pattern read of when and where he's moving — last light on the north ridge, gone quiet since the pressure went up. NEW — SHAREABLE BUCK REPORTS Turn any buck or your whole season into a clean, AI-written report you can export as a PDF or share card — hero photo, sighting timeline, and the pattern read, ready for the group chat. The artifact every hunter wants to post. NEW — MOVEMENT INTELLIGENCE See how he's really moving: moon phase at every sighting, wind direction at the camera, and a "best sit" read that tells you when and where your odds are highest. Plus trend charts for daylight movement through the rut and temperature vs. activity. NEW — iCLOUD SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Tag from the truck on your phone, review on the iPad at camp. Opt-in iCloud sync keeps your cameras, bucks, hit list, and reports in step across all your devices. NEW — LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES Glance at your hit list from the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and watch a big card import sort itself in real time right on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. YOUR HIT LIST, FRESH Put target bucks on your hit list and see at a glance which ones have been freshly photographed. Ask Siri "what's on my hit list today" and get the answer before you climb into the stand. YOUR SEASON, SUMMED UP At the end of the year, Trail Sort writes a shareable recap across every camera and buck — frames pulled, what each camera held, and how your bucks moved. PRICING • Free: 500 photos, basic species sorting, 1 camera • Hunter ($7.99/mo or $59/yr): unlimited photos, buck ID, patterns, 10 cameras, season recap, shareable Buck Reports, and trends • Pro ($14.99/mo or $99/yr): everything in Hunter plus iCloud sync, moon + wind movement intelligence, and Lock Screen widgets • Outfitter ($19.99/mo or $149/yr): everything in Pro plus unlimited cameras, multi-property, and shared lease libraries for clubs and outfitters PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your photos stay on your device. iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad is opt-in. Camera locations and any photos of people never leave your control. Stop scrubbing through the card. Find the buck. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/trail-sort/privacy
