Seek by iNaturalist is an iPhone application that uses image recognition technology to identify the plants and animals around you. This free app allows you to earn badges by seeing different types of species, including plants, birds, fungi, and more. With the Seek Camera, you can scan the environment and identify organisms using the tree of life. The app draws from millions of wildlife observations on iNaturalist, showing you lists of commonly recorded insects, birds, plants, amphibians, and more in your area.

The app is great for families who want to spend more time exploring nature together or for anyone who wants to learn more about the life all around them. Seek is kid-safe, as it does not require registration and does not collect any user data by default. However, if you choose to sign in with an iNaturalist account, some user data will be collected. Seek also asks permission to turn on location services, but your location is obscured to respect your privacy while still allowing species suggestions from your general area.
