HerpTrack

HerpTrack is a niche mobile and web app built for reptile and amphibian enthusiasts who actually get out in the field and document what they find. Instead of yet another generic wildlife app, it focuses tightly on herpetology: precise locality logging, microhabitat notes, weather data, and photo documentation for each observation. Users can maintain private location data (to protect sensitive species and spots) while optionally sharing anonymized records with local herp societies or citizen-science platforms. The app supports seasonality charts, lifelist tracking, and basic analytics so users can see patterns in their finds over years. It is not a social toy; it is a practical logbook and data tool for people who already spend their weekends flipping rocks and cruising roads. The market is small but real: serious hobbyists, local herp clubs, and some professionals who are currently hacking together spreadsheets, Google Photos, and GPS apps. This is a traditional app with some light AI assistance for species suggestion from photos, not a full-blown AI product.
