About this app
Lifer turns birding into a daily collecting game.
■ Over 150,000 catches recorded all over Europe
■ Recently featured by BBC News & ITV News
Identify birds by sound or camera, catch them as beautiful species cards, build your Aviary, grow your Life List, and turn every walk into a birding adventure.
■ Catch Birds By Sound Or Camera
- Hear something nearby? Audio Catch listens for birds and brings animated birds onto the screen for you to catch.
- See a bird instead? Camera Catch uses Lifer AI to help identify birds from photos.
- Audio Catch runs on-device, so you can keep detecting even when you are offline.
■ Collect Species Cards
- Every catch becomes a collectible bird card with points based on rarity and catch quality.
- Each card is stamped with the real-world biome where it was found, such as woodland, wetland, coast, countryside, or urban.
- Chase Rare and Legendary birds, Prismwing cards, streaks, Bird of the Day, milestones, and a growing collection of every species you have seen.
■ Explore Nests

- Contribute catches to each Nest’s shared record of species, sightings, photos, and first discoveries.
- Explore local leaderboards and compete to become the rolling Nest Guardian.
- Search for nearby Nests, follow their activity, and celebrate founding and Guardian stories through the social feed.
- Your exact catch coordinates remain private.
■ Endorsed for GBIF
- Every qualified catch is sent to GBIF - the world’s largest open-access biodiversity database.
- Help birds and science!
■ Bird With Friends
- Join Birding Parties to catch birds together as a group.
- Follow other birders, react to catches, celebrate milestones, and climb the rankings.
