About
Your AI-powered birding companion — 100% private, on-device intelligence. Discover 19,200+ birding hotspots across all 50 US states and 7 Canadian provinces with an AI assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No subscriptions. No data ever leaves your device. ASK NATURALLY, FIND INSTANTLY Just speak or type what you're looking for — "Best spots for fall migration near me," "Where can I find shorebirds in Ocean County," or "Show me locations with high species diversity." GoBirding understands natural language and ranks hotspots based on what matters: species match, distance, habitat, and seasonal timing. RARE BIRD ALERTS Never miss an unusual sighting. Live eBird integration surfaces rare and notable bird observations in your area, cross-referenced with hotspots you can actually visit. See rare species pinned directly on the map and get there fast. REAL-TIME CONDITIONS Check weather, hourly forecasts, sunrise/sunset times, and tide predictions before you head out. AI-generated habitat recommendations tell you where to go based on current conditions and season — not just what the weather is, but what it means for birding. RICH HOTSPOT DETAILS Every location includes species counts, habitat descriptions, birding opportunities, accessibility info, directions, and direct links to eBird checklists. Save your favorites and build your personal birding network. INTERACTIVE MAP Color-coded pins show detailed hotspots, extended locations, and rare bird sightings at a glance. Filter by county, distance, habitat, or species. The map fits itself to your results automatically. VOICE-FIRST EXPERIENCE Speak your queries and hear AI responses read back with customizable voice settings — perfect for hands-free use in the field. Choose between Creative and Accurate response styles to match how you like your information. BUILT FOR PRIVACY GoBirding bundles a powerful AI model (Qwen 3) directly in the app. All recommendations, rankings, and analysis happen on-device. The only network call is to eBird for rare bird alerts — and even that's optional.
