How it works.

Identifies from your camera

Photograph the plant and you get ranked candidates with what separates them. Not one confident answer — the real list, in order, with the reasons.

You do not need an account. Identifying plants and the safety checks work without one.

The camera holds itself steady

Open it once and it stays open. It waits until your phone is genuinely still, takes the shot itself, names the next angle it needs, and stops when it has enough — instead of making you tap a shutter six times one-handed while you hold a branch out of the way.

It waits for still on purpose. A blurred leaf underside is worse than no photo at all, because the underside is often where a safe plant separates from the one that hurts you.

Shows the look-alikes beside the match

The dangerous confusions sit right next to the identification, not buried three screens down where nobody scrolls. What to check, and what it would mean if you checked wrong.

What grows where you actually are

Built around the plants of your own place rather than a generic list — and there is a community map, so people can mark a hazard where they found it. Hazard and location only. Nobody's opinion that something is edible is ever shown as fact, by anybody, ever.

Traditional uses come from the Native American Ethnobotany Database, where every recorded use names the people it belongs to and the original study it was documented in. Those names and citations stay visible on the line — attribution here is not a footnote.

Every entry opens the same way: this is history, not instruction. Nobody here is telling you to do any of it. The record is given whole rather than edited down to the parts that sit comfortably now — and plants the app blocks return nothing at all.
