ForageFinds
Pin your spots
Drop a pin where you're standing or anywhere on the map. Add a title, notes and a photo so you know exactly what you found.
Never lose a good spot again.
ForageFinds keeps a map of your wild food: the sloe hedge, the wild garlic bank, the oak that turns up chicken of the woods every autumn. Pin it, tag it and come back next season.
Free to use. No sign-up needed to start pinning.
Features
Your field notebook, on a map
Everything a forager scribbles in the margins, kept in one place and tied to the exact spot.
Scan plants and fungi
Point the camera at a plant and get a best match from 100+ wild species, from wild garlic to chanterelle. It runs on your phone, so it works without signal.
Tag what matters
Record the type, abundance, habitat, sunlight, moisture, land status and how easy it is to reach. Next year you'll know whether the trip is worth it.
Filter the map
Only want fungi in woodland, or abundant fruit near a footpath? Filter by any tag and the map shows just those spots.
Private by default
Your spots are yours. Keep them hidden, share them with friends or make them public for other foragers. You choose for each pin.
Search places
Jump to a town, park or trail by name and see what you and the community have found nearby.
How it works
Find it, pin it, come back
Find something good
Out on a walk and spot a hedgerow full of sloes? Open the app and scan it if you want a second opinion on what it is.
Pin and tag it
Tap Create, give it a name, add a photo and a few tags. Choose who can see it.
Return in season
When the season comes round, open the map, filter for what's ripe and head straight there.

Forage safely
The scanner gives a second opinion, not a verdict
The scanner knows lookalikes as well as edibles. It recognises some of the most dangerous plants and fungi you can meet, so it can warn you as well as help you.

Never eat anything based on an app alone
- Confirm every identification with a field guide or an experienced forager. With fungi, ask an expert.
- If you are not 100% sure, leave it.
- Take only what you'll use, and leave plenty for wildlife and other foragers.
- Get the landowner's permission, and never uproot wild plants or pick on protected sites.
