Seek by iNaturalist

Identify plants and animals with a wildlife identification app powered by advanced image recognition technology. Point your camera at any living thing—a bird, flower, insect, or mushroom—and Seek by iNaturalist instantly recognizes it, drawing from millions of real-world observations contributed to the global iNaturalist community.

Explore nature like never before. Whether you're hiking in a forest, wandering through your garden, or spotting wildlife in your neighborhood, the Seek Camera makes outdoor discovery effortless. Simply scan organisms around you to unlock detailed information about each species, from habitat preferences to conservation status. Every identification adds to your personal nature journal, helping you learn about the incredible biodiversity in your local area and beyond.

Earn badges and track your progress as you observe new species. Challenge yourself to spot different types of birds, fungi, plants, amphibians, and insects. The more you explore and identify, the more badges you unlock—turning outdoor exploration into a rewarding adventure. Families love using this app together, making nature walks more engaging and educational for children and adults alike. Whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced naturalist, every observation deepens your connection to the living world around you.

Your privacy matters. Seek by iNaturalist doesn't require registration or collect personal data by default. The app asks for location access only to suggest species commonly found in your general area—your precise location remains private and is never stored unless you choose to sign in with an iNaturalist account. For young users, parental permission is required to create an account.

Powered by a global community of scientists and nature enthusiasts, Seek's identification technology is built on observations verified by the iNaturalist community. This collaborative approach ensures accuracy while contributing to real scientific understanding of biodiversity worldwide. Seek by iNaturalist is backed by the California Academy of Sciences, National Geographic Society, WWF, and other leading conservation organizations, making every observation part of a larger mission to document and protect life on Earth.
