About

ForageKit

Read full description

ForageKit is your private foraging journal. Log mushroom, plant, and berry finds with photos, GPS pins, and your own field notes — and build a personal map of the spots you trust. ForageKit does not name your finds, suggest what they might be, or compare your photos to any database. You are the expert. ForageKit remembers what you already know. What it does: • Log a find — photo, location, date, and your own notes • Map view — see every trusted spot at a glance • Field notes — weather, habitat, companion species, harvest weight; whatever you want to remember • Seasonal nudges — get reminded when the time of year and your past habits line up • Safety reminder — every new entry shows a one-line nudge to verify before eating What is free: • 10 finds, list view, photos, GPS, notes Lifetime Premium — pay once, keep forever: • Map view with all your pins • Unlimited finds • iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad (private Apple iCloud — no servers in between) • CSV export • Optional seasonal nudges No subscription. One payment. Privacy: Your finds live on your device. iCloud sync uses your own private Apple iCloud account. No third-party servers. No accounts. No tracking. Safety disclaimer: Foraging carries real risk. We are not toxicologists. Never eat anything you have not personally verified through a qualified expert source. ForageKit is a journal — it is not a guide and it is not a substitute for trusted regional field guides, mycologists, or human mentors. When in doubt, do not eat it. Built for mushroom hunters, plant gatherers, berry pickers, and anyone who wants to remember their best spots. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
