Full description

Frond is a digital herbarium for anyone who collects plants — botanists, foragers, gardeners, hikers, and the merely curious. Record a specimen the way you would in a field notebook: photograph it, note where and when you found it, describe the leaf shape, the habitat, the smell of the crushed stem. Frond keeps each entry as a proper record rather than a photo buried in your camera roll. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Build a specimen catalog with photos, dates, locations, and detailed field notes - Get identification help from AI — describe or photograph a specimen and receive a considered answer, not a one-word guess - Search and browse your collection as it grows - Keep everything on your device, in your hands BRING YOUR OWN KEY Frond uses your own Google Gemini API key for identification. You paste the key once; it stays on your device and is never sent anywhere except Google's API. No account, no sign-up, no subscription, no server of ours between you and your data. Free tier keys work fine. You can also add specimens entirely by hand and skip the AI altogether. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Frond is free to try. A single unlock removes the limits — pay once, keep it. No subscription, no ads, no upsells. FOR THE FIELD Built for people who actually go outside: a clean, legible interface that works in bright sun, records that make sense six months later, and no distractions between you and the plant in front of you.

What's new

First public release of Frond. Photograph a plant to identify it, then keep it — notes, photos and care details in a collection that's yours. Already know what it is? Add it by hand. A built-in field guide explains how identification works and exactly what happens to your photograph. Frond runs on your own Google Gemini API key, and your collection is stored on your device. No ads, no tracking, no subscription — one optional unlock, paid once.
