About this app

Shell Identifier helps you identify common shells from a single photo.

Point your camera at a shell, keep it centered, and get:

Shell name
Confidence level
Quick family and coast cues
Shape and beachcomb notes
Saved results in a local collection
The app is built for casual beachcombing, tide-pool walks, shoreline finds, and simple at-home shell checks.

Why users like it:

Fast camera-first workflow
Clean result screen with readable confidence
Useful shell details without a complicated interface
Local collection for shells you want to keep or review later
No account required
Tips for better results:

Use a top-down photo when possible
Try an opening-view photo for spiral shells
Avoid strong glare from wet shells
Keep the full shell visible in frame
Use plain backgrounds when you can
Important:

This app is for identification assistance only.
Results may be uncertain for damaged shells, juvenile shells, or very similar species.
For research, collection rules, or protected species questions, follow local guidance.
