A field guide you can complete

Photograph plants in the wild, identify them instantly, and collect every species in your state.

PlantCatcher turns plant identification from a one-time lookup into a game worth coming back to β€” with rarity tiers, a completable regional dex, and a map of where to hunt next.

A note on safety. PlantCatcher includes educational information about plant edibility and toxicity. This is for learning only β€” it is never a substitute for expert identification. Never eat, handle, or use any wild plant based on an app. Many edible species have dangerous, sometimes deadly, lookalikes.
