FieldHerp Logbook

FieldHerp Logbook is a no-nonsense mobile and web app built for reptile and amphibian field enthusiasts who actually care about data, not just pretty photos. It lets users log sightings with precise GPS, weather, microhabitat notes, and photos, then automatically structures that data into exportable datasets suitable for personal research, local herp societies, or citizen science projects. Unlike generic wildlife or birding apps, it focuses entirely on herps: activity by temperature, time-of-night, moon phase, and seasonality patterns that field herpers obsess over. Users can maintain private locations (to avoid spot poaching), share redacted records with groups, and generate simple charts to analyze their own success rates and patterns over time. It’s built to be brutally practical in the field: offline-first, fast data entry, and minimal fluff. This is not a social network; it’s a tool for people who already spend their weekends flipping tin and road-cruising, and want a better way to track and learn from their own data.
