- For
- Birders who want to track walks and sightings
- Worth noticing
- The maker says walks can be saved as hiking workouts in Apple Health, with a route map, steps, distance, and species in the summary.
Field notes
The page presents the app as a personal project grounded in its maker’s walks in Frick Park. Its described workflow includes starting a walk from the Watch while the iPhone listens, then reviewing a route map and bird list in a saved walk summary. The site says those walks will be recorded in Apple Health as hiking workouts; the app itself is marked as coming soon, so these are described capabilities rather than verified working features.
