An offline plant identifier for iPhone and Android that names plants from the camera and builds a personal herbarium.

For: Hikers, gardeners, and amateur botanists
Worth noticing: Recognition runs on-device; the app can export numbered herbarium specimens as CSV with photos.

Field notes

Foliata combines on-device recognition with downloaded regional packs, allowing plant cards and care notes to remain available away from a network. Saved finds become numbered, dated herbarium specimens, optionally tagged with a place and exportable as CSV with photos. The homepage says photos stay on the phone by default, while an online second opinion can be enabled for an unidentified plant. Android availability is described as pending Google Play review.
