Observation vs Fovcus

With Observation you can easily record nature observations in the field. Our online image recognition AI helps you identify the species on your images. You can choose to use the app offline anywhere in the world. Your observation data is stored on your phone first. Saved observations can be uploaded to Observation.org when online. This app is part of Observation.org; an EU-based platform for world wide biodiversity monitoring and citizen science. Observations that you save in your account are publicly visible for everyone who visits Observation.org. Take a look at the website to see what other observers have recorded and explore all data collected by our community. Observations are validated by species experts, after which the records are made available for scientific research.

Fovcus is a personal vision journal for people living with macular degeneration and other central vision conditions. Check your vision in under a minute with the Amsler Grid — the same simple test used by eye specialists worldwide — and record exactly what you see. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Everything stays on your device — no internet needed RECORD WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE • Draw wavy, blurry or missing areas with your finger • Bend grid lines to where they really appear to you • The Black Hole tool shows areas of central vision loss • Your previous session appears as a faint ghost overlay, so changes jump out TRACK BOTH EYES OVER TIME • Separate history for left and right eye • "Last check" cue, plus optional daily, weekly or monthly reminders — free • Large text, big buttons, brightness and invert options built for low vision • Full VoiceOver support FOVCUS PRO — PAY ONCE, YOURS FOREVER • Unlimited session history • Compare any two sessions side by side • Progress charts for each eye • Doctor-ready PDF reports — both eyes, scores and trends — to email or hand to your specialist Fovcus is a personal journal, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or advise on any condition. Always consult your ophthalmologist or retinal specialist, and contact them immediately if you notice sudden changes.
