About

FishCap

Snap a fish and FishCap tells you what it is. Logging every catch is free and unlimited, with no sign-up. No account, no tracking, and your GPS coordinates are never sent to us. AI SPECIES IDENTIFICATION Not sure what you just landed? Show FishCap the photo and it names the fish, with alternatives ranked for your part of the world. Every device gets three identifications free for life. After that, identification is the one feature that needs FishCap Premium — everything below stays free and unlimited. Identification is a suggestion, not a determination. Look-alike species, juveniles and bad light all fool it, and you always have the last word. Never use it to decide whether a fish is safe to eat, venomous, or protected where you are fishing. A FISHING LOG, FREE AND UNLIMITED • Log as many catches as you like. There is no cap, and the paywall never blocks you from saving a fish. • One-tap cutout, done on your own device, so every catch becomes a clean sticker. • Species, length and weight, bait and rig, and your own notes. Save the rigs and baits you use as templates. • Fishing spots on a map, with the weather that was actually over the water at the time, from Apple Weather. • A month calendar where every fishing day wears the fish you caught that day. • Stats worth checking: your biggest fish, the species you have landed, your best months. • Home Screen widgets, so the calendar and your latest catch are there without opening the app. • Syncs through your own iCloud, on by default, at no extra cost. • Share cards you can post anywhere — and they hide your location unless you turn it on. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There is nothing to sign up for. FishCap has no login: your identity is the Apple ID already on your device, and your catches live on your device and in your own iCloud. Your GPS coordinates are never sent to us — not for identification, not ever. FISHCAP PREMIUM • Unlimited AI species identification • An annual plan with a 3-day free trial, or a monthly plan • Prices are shown in the app and on the App Store and vary by region • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel in Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions Terms of Use: https://fishcap-site.mattasui.workers.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://fishcap-site.mattasui.workers.dev/privacy Tight lines.
