WildVisor identifies animals, plants, minerals and rocks from a photo, helps you explore natural places, and turns each sighting you choose to publish into useful citizen-science data.
Free, in 9 languages. Available for Android.
Four things, all built to make a day outdoors safer — and to teach you something along the way.
Photograph wildlife, a plant, mineral or rock. An on-device specialist recognises an initial group of species offline; when it is not confident enough, the server completes the analysis and returns candidates, risk information and a verifiable profile.
Explore parks, reserves, beaches, waterfalls, lakes, caves, viewpoints and other natural places with distinct icons, alongside community sightings. Threatened species locations are blurred.
Tiered warnings when risky sightings have been verified near you, with concrete instructions on what to do — and what not to.
Dials the emergency number of the country you are in and can text your approximate location. Includes poison-control centres for twenty countries.
A nature app can push people to get closer to an animal for the shot. WildVisor is built to do the opposite.
Not a warning — a filter that blocks publication. Keeping your distance protects the animal and the photographer.
Top-risk alerts require verification by the community or by an expert before they go out.
If the system detects risk, the full identification is shown even if you have run out of daily identifications. Safety is not billed.
We would rather explain exactly what happens to your data than promise more than we deliver.
WildVisor first tries a specialised model on your phone. If that model cannot identify the image confidently enough, the photo is downscaled and sent encrypted to our server to complete the analysis. Offline coverage is limited, and the app says so.
Before it leaves the phone, the app strips the location data from the image (the EXIF metadata holding the coordinates). The sighting's location is stored separately and handled carefully.
The app opens straight away. Creating an account is optional and only needed to publish sightings and join the community.
Saving a photo does not publish it. Sharing the image and sharing its coordinates are separate choices; a likely photo of a screen can only be kept privately.
Exact coordinates of vulnerable or endangered species are never published: they are rounded to roughly 11 km so nobody can go looking for them.
The free plan displays ads only on non-critical screens. Ads never appear on the map, camera, SOS flow, danger alerts, or minors' profiles; Explorer Pro removes them. White Hat does not sell your personal data or use precise location for advertising. See the privacy policy for details and controls.
