Leafwing Nature Journal vs Forager's Field Notes

Identify what you see. Keep the encounter. Find it again. Leafwing is your private nature journal for plants, birds, insects, fish, and other wildlife. Use the camera or your photo library to save plants, birds, fish, insects, and other living things you notice. Leafwing keeps each record organized with photos, capture time, place information when available, notes, and species identification, so casual moments can grow into a personal index of the nature around you. Your records are private by default. Leafwing is not a social network or a check-in app: this version does not include public posts, follows, comments, leaderboards, or public profiles. With Leafwing, you can: - Save nature records from the camera or photo library - Preserve capture time and place context from photos when available - Identify and organize species from photos - Browse your own catalog by category - See field sets and seasonal notebook pages grow from what you have actually recorded - Add or correct species manually when needed - Link Apple ID so your records can sync across devices - Recover interrupted saves when a record does not finish - Organize up to 12 past photos into observations, with dates you can correct - Save without identifying, or see the credit total before identifying your groups - Find past records by species name, observation date, or saved place - Delete individual records or your account from Settings Leafwing is free to download and includes 30 starter photo-identification credits. When those credits run out, you can buy consumable identification credit packs as needed. Basic recording, manual organization, privacy controls, sync, and account deletion do not require buying more credits. Photo storage in this version supports private records, photo identification, cross-device sync, and account deletion cleanup. This version does not sell cloud-photo storage, does not include subscriptions, and does not offer social promotion tools.

Forager's Field Notes is a private foraging journal and field log book for mushroom hunters and wild-food foragers. Log every foraging find, save your secret patches on an offline map, and — with Field Notes+ — see when your spots come back into season, worked out on your phone from your own foraging diary. No account. No ads. Your spots never leave your phone. SAFETY FIRST: A FORAGING JOURNAL, NOT AN IDENTIFIER Forager's Field Notes never identifies a plant or mushroom and never tells you that anything is edible or safe to eat. You name every find yourself — you are the forager. Never eat anything based on this app: always confirm a find with a qualified local expert and reliable references first, and when in doubt, throw it out. LOG A FIND IN SECONDS - Your own name for what you found, plus a category: mushroom, greens, berry, nut, herb, root - Quantity or yield, habitat, notes and a photo from your library - Dated automatically when you save, and attached to a patch if you like - Your whole foraging log, newest first, with the photo right in the list REMEMBER EVERY PATCH - Save a secret foraging spot once and attach finds to it - Drop a GPS pin only when you tap "use my location" — no background location, no tracking - A tile-free map of your foraging patches that works in airplane mode: nothing to download, no signal needed CONFIRM — DON'T IDENTIFY (always free) Before you mark a find "self-confirmed", work through a checklist of your own foraging observations: spore print, gills or pores, ring and volva, habitat, bruising and smell for fungi; leaves, smell, sap and growth habit for plants. The app reminds you to rule out the deadly lookalike and asks you to confirm that you, not the app, decide what is safe. "Self-confirmed" records your own diligence — never a verdict. OFFLINE LOOKALIKE CARDS (always free) Six "deadly twin" cards help you rule a find out: true vs false morel, chanterelle vs jack-o'-lantern, puffball vs young Amanita, wild garlic vs lily-of-the-valley and autumn crocus, elderberry vs pokeweed and water hemlock, wild carrot vs poison hemlock. Education, not identification. FIELD NOTES+ (optional) Three rule-based insights built only from your own foraging journal, right on your phone — no AI, no network, no account: - Patch-return reminders in the app — "last September you found chanterelles at Cedar Creek: time to check" - Seasonality — the weeks each find turns up in your foraging spots, and whether you are in the window now - Your foraging year — finds, species, busiest month and top patch Logging, patches, the map and the whole safety layer stay free forever — no card required. LOG HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI On iOS 16 or later, say "Log a find in Forager's Field Notes" and add a note — it's waiting in your journal the next time you open the app. (Siri phrases are in English.) INVITE A FRIEND Share your invite code and you both get 30 days of Field Notes+ free. The invite shares only anonymous ids and the code — never your finds or your spots. HONEST PRICING - Annual, with a 7-day free trial - Monthly - Lifetime — one payment, no subscription All three unlock the same Field Notes+. Prices show in your own currency in the app, and billing is handled by the App Store — cancel anytime.
