Huntify
Read full descriptionHide full description
Huntify is the hunting companion built for serious hunters — whether you hunt solo, with friends, or as part of a team. Track every season from your first scouting walk to the final stat report, with privacy controls and team tools built around real fieldwork. LOG EVERY HARVEST Record harvests with species, sex, age, weapon, date, time, location, weight and notes. Attach up to 5 photos or videos. Weather — temperature, wind, moon phase, barometric pressure — is captured automatically from your GPS coordinate. YOUR ARMORY Rifles, shotguns, combination guns, bows and traps, with caliber and notes. Every harvest links to the weapon, so each one builds its own record. HUNTING DOGS A locker for your dogs: breed, age and status, including retired and in memoriam. Tag the dog that found it, and that dog builds a record of its own across the seasons. CREW TAGGING Tag the hunters and dogs that were with you. With their consent the entry shows in their feed too — one shared hunt, recorded once. LIVE HUNT Start a hunt and the map fills the screen: your ground's boundary and towers, your path, the wind, your party's live positions. One + button for shot fired, game seen, meeting point and the safety calls – tracking wounded, need help, drive on, dog released, all clear – and your party is alerted. Pause, resume or end whenever you like; review the track afterwards. HUNT AS A TEAM Invite hunting buddies to a shared live hunt. Everyone's live position appears on the team map so you can stay coordinated in dense terrain or split into pairs without losing each other. Optional proximity warnings when another hunter is close. SEASON QUOTAS Your team declares what it may take this season, and every logged kill ticks the tally down live for the whole party — no more counting tags by text message. Available for Premium members. MESSAGES Direct messages between hunters who follow each other, plus a chat for every team. AI SPECIES IDENTIFICATION Not sure what you're looking at? Point the camera at your harvest and let Huntify's AI identify the species instantly. Available for Premium members. MAPS – NATIONAL TOPO, PROPERTY LINES, OFFLINE Kartverket, Lantmäteriet, USGS and other national topographic maps as a layer, seamless across borders, with property boundaries where the country publishes them. Download your hunting ground and hunt without coverage. Your own pins show exact coordinates; friends' and public entries appear as a heatmap only – your spots stay yours. National maps and offline are Premium. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL No coverage? Start and end hunts, log harvests with photos, claim your post – everything is saved on the phone and uploads by itself when you're back in coverage. HARVEST REPORTS Export your season as CSV or PDF, or a pre-filled Norway RA-0574 hunting return grouped by species and municipality. You pick the columns. SOCIAL FEED & LEADERBOARDS Follow other hunters, like and comment on harvests, @mention teammates. See how you rank on the species leaderboard — who got the most red deer this season? Compete with your region or the whole community. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Species names included — you read "Roe deer", not "Capreolus capreolus". The species list narrows to what is huntable where you stand. PRIVACY FIRST Fuzzy coordinates on shared maps, a visibility tier on every entry, optional follow-approval, and position sharing only during live hunts you joined, released automatically when the hunt ends. You decide what gets shared and with whom — Huntify never sells your data. Free to download, with optional Premium for national maps, offline use, AI species identification, reports, quotas and no ads. Built by hunters at Tanum Studio AS in Norway. GDPR-compliant, with consent-based advertising you can control.

Tired of paying for a stack of subscriptions just to do the one thing you actually planned on — hunting? HuntShield is your all-in-one hunting multitool: regulations, 3D scouting, lidar, land, recovery and meat yield in one app, with the field tools still working when your signal doesn't. KNOW IT'S LEGAL BEFORE YOU GO Pick your state, the kind of ground you're hunting and the date. HuntShield lays out what's open, legal hunting hours, the licenses and tags you need, blaze orange and gear rules, plus the Don't-Get-Caught laws hunters actually get cited for, each linked to the state's own regulations. The Trip Planner builds a pre-trip checklist, the Season Guide lists every season and bag limit, and your gear, sits, harvests and licenses live in one record. Checks you've run stay on your phone for when the signal drops, and Hunter members get a push and an email when their state's rules change. SEE THE GROUND, NOT JUST THE MAP 3D terrain with slope, aspect, thermals and scent drift, and the sun tracked through the day. Switch on lidar to see the bare earth under the trees — the benches, saddles, draws and old logging roads that funnel deer — and let HuntShield mark the likely ones for you. STAND THERE BEFORE YOU GO Drag the Stand View figure onto the map and look around in first person, built from the real USGS lidar scan: the actual trees at their measured heights, the brush, the lay of the land. Check your shooting lanes from the ground, a ladder or a tower. Where no scan exists, you get a model from terrain and canopy data. Save a stand and it opens with no signal. FIND THE THICK STUFF The brush layer reads the lidar scan to show where the cover is thick two to ten feet off the ground — the bedding cover a satellite photo can't see. CONDITIONS FOR EVERY HUNT AREA Weather, wind, pressure, sunrise and sunset, moon phase and species activity for public land and WMAs, plus a moon and rut calendar by species. FIND LAND TO HUNT Public ground is crowded and private ground is who-you-know. Browse land by the day, season or party, see the rate up front, and book it in the app. WORK THE BLOOD TRAIL WITH NO SERVICE Built to work offline. Tell it where the animal stood and where the shot hit, and it walks you through the sign, how long to wait and which way to push. (Hunter) KNOW THE YIELD BEFORE THE PROCESSOR DOES Twenty species, whitetail to squirrel, with the cut breakdown. No scale in camp? Measure the girth for a weight estimate from published equations for nine big-game species. IDENTIFY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT Species identification that runs on the phone, even with the bars at zero. FOR LANDOWNERS List your property, set day, season or party rates, manage bookings and issue guest permits. WHAT NEEDS A SIGNAL Straight answer: the marketplace, community and bookings need a connection, a new regulation check or lidar view needs one the first time, and maps are downloaded once to work offline (Hunter). Saved checks, saved stands, saved maps, blood trailing, meat yield and species identification work in airplane mode. WHAT IT COSTS Free: 3 regulation checks a month, 2 gear scans, a trip plan, the meat yield calculator, the moon and rut calendar, a 5-record harvest log, and the land marketplace — browsing and booking are free. Hunter, $14/month, starting with a 1-month free trial: unlimited regulation checks, regulation change alerts, blood trailing, offline map downloads, GPS tracks, waypoints, sit log, compliance certificates and cross-device sync. Landowner, $35/month: everything in Hunter, plus parcel claiming, guest permits, food plot planning, property listing and booking management. Regulations are compiled from state wildlife agency publications and reviewed against the source, but you are always responsible for the rules where you hunt. Verify anything that decides a shot.
