Field Notebook: Seashore

From a shell picked up on the beach to a whale or shark you saw at the aquarium. Switch between volumes, and on-device AI suggests the closest matches from your photo and saves them to your guide. TWO VOLUMES - Shells: write-ups for 114 species of shells, land snails from around the world, crabs, sea slugs and tide-pool life. 63 of them can be identified from a photo. - Sea Creatures: 81 species including whales, dolphins, sharks, crabs, hermit crabs, sea slugs, sea stars, sea cucumbers and seaweed. The guide, photo ID, quiz and your records switch with each volume. NO FALSE CONFIDENCE - Up to three candidates, never one flat answer. - Each one comes with a confidence level (close match / similar / possibly similar). - When confidence is low, no candidates are shown and the app says the photo may be outside this guide. - The same photo always gives the same answer. Results are an observation reference, not a definite identification. READ IT WITHOUT A CAMERA Every write-up is original: appearance, how to tell lookalikes apart, habits, a fun fact and observation tips, each with a cited source. Reading the guide is free. STAY SAFE Do not take protected or living creatures home without checking local rules. Do not touch spiny or toothed animals with bare hands; watch from a little distance. NO SERVER, NO RUNNING COSTS Recognition runs entirely on your device. Photos and records stay on this device only. No account, no ads. PRICING The app is free. Photo ID is unlimited for the first 7 days, then free up to 3 times a day. A one-time purchase per volume unlocks unlimited photo ID, unlimited quiz, a map of your finds, CSV export of your records, and photo tips and observation hints (no ads). The Seashore all-volumes pack opens every volume in this guide, including volumes added later, at no extra cost. No subscription. If you bought the earlier AI Shell Guide, both the Shells and Sea Creatures volumes are already unlocked. Use "Restore purchases" when you change devices. ABOUT THE TRAINING DATA The recognition AI was trained on photos shared under CC0, CC BY or public domain terms. Photographer names and sources are listed under Settings in the app.
