Bïndo is the bird listing app built for Southern African birding: fast in the field, rich at home, and made to be shared. LOG EVERY BIRD, ANYWHERE Bïndo is offline-first: log sightings deep in the bush with no signal, and everything syncs when you're back in range. Start a quicklist in seconds, run a full trip list on holiday, or keep a custom list for your garden, your patch or your year. • Quick, trip, custom and collaborative lists • Add Sighting opens on Regional: the birds most often recorded around you, even offline • GPS-stamped sightings with photos (upload several at once) and calls • Add notes to a sighting: the story behind the bird • Not sure what you saw? Log an Unknown Bird and ask your followers "What bird is this?" • Lifers tracked automatically across your whole history, with milestones to celebrate ATLAS WITH CONFIDENCE Full support for SABAP2 atlassing: run timed cards on one pentad or several, follow the protocol, and submit straight from your phone. Every ended card shows where it stands. A COMMUNITY OF BIRDERS Follow friends and local legends, and see their birding come alive in your feed: lifers, rare finds, trip lists, photos and the stories behind them. • Comment on sightings and join the conversation • Likes, follows and birder profiles • Search the whole app for birds, birders, lists, areas and places • Private challenges and collaborative lists for clubs, trips and mates EXPLORE THE MAP See what's being seen right now.
