Plant Identifier

What's that plant? Point your camera at it. BioSnap is a plant identifier built for people who like being outside. Snap any plant, tree, or flower with your phone and the app tells you what it is - instantly, even out on a trail with no signal. It's also a real-world game. Every plant you find adds to your collection and heals a tile on a map of your actual city. Walk a different route each weekend and watch your whole neighbourhood come back to life, one species at a time. Made for hikers, weekend ramblers, couples on park walks, families on Sunday outings, and anyone whose kid won't stop asking "what's that?" WHAT YOU CAN DO Identify 500 plants - trees, flowers, grasses, weeds, garden favourites - with a single tap of your camera. Build a personal collection of every species you've spotted. Like a sticker book, but for nature, and tied to where you've actually been. Watch your real city turn from grey to green as you explore. Every plant heals a tile on the map. Get walking directions to the nearest spot to find a specific species. Want to see a wild lily? BioSnap shows you the way. Learn about every plant: where it grows, when it blooms, what makes it interesting - written like a friend who's into gardens, not a textbook. WORKS ANYWHERE, STAYS PRIVATE Plant identification happens right on your phone, so it works offline - deep on a trail, in airplane mode, anywhere. Your photos never leave your device. No account, no sign-up, no email needed. A NOTE ON ACCURACY BioSnap recognises common plants across North America and Europe with high confidence. For uncommon species, edible/toxic identification, or anything you plan to eat - please check with a local expert or a proper field guide. BioSnap is built for curiosity, not foraging. Free. No subscription. No ads. Just plants.
