A Pokédex, but for real life

The birds, plants, bugs, fish, and animals you spot on a walk, all in your pocket. Find rare species and fill out a field guide that's all yours.

How does the real-life field guide work?

How is rarity graded?

Built by developers who stared at monitors all day.

This app started from a team burning out on 14-hour days.

“We keep getting more tired. How do we get more done?”

Instead of building another productivity app, we went on a walk.

Posting nature photos to each other became our team ritual. Now we want to give everyone else a small reason and excuse to look up for a minute.

Studying, working, parenting, grinding... put it down for a minute and come walk with us.

Wildfolio is more than a tracking app. It connects what you observe with real ecological context.

It opens up the experience of understanding nature as data, not just for researchers but for everyday users too.

FAQ

When does it launch?

We're deep in development right now. Launch is planned for May 2026, and we'll share progress on the Discord along the way.

Where can I follow the build?

All updates go up in the Discord. It's also where you can drop feedback or tell us what you want to see in the app.

Is this only for experts?

Not at all. If you've ever snapped a bird or a flower on a walk, you're the audience.
