Important Notes

  • Photos you take with this tool are submitted for identification to a third party service, the Pl@ntNet API.
  • The current plan being used by the tool supports up to 500 identifications per day across all users. If enough people start using the tool, I will evaluate how to proceed to increase usage limits.
  • Currently the tool operates in black and white. Eventually I may determine a way to allow colors to be displayed, but I plan to try to always keep the black and white as an option, or possibly the default.

Instructions

  1. Download and install the APK. Grab the latest release from the releases page and install it on your device.
  2. Grant camera access the first time you open the tool - it's required to identify plants.

Features

  • Over 50,000 identifiable species
  • Plant identification via the Pl@ntNet API (common name, scientific name, family, match confidence)
  • Save identified plants to your Collection with photo, date, and details
  • Location field in Settings (informational only - used to help judge whether a plant is native to your area)
