Spots, paths and areas
Drop a pin where you stand. Walk a path with GPS, or draw it. Outline a whole patch as an area.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android
Remember every good spot.
Forage is a field journal for foragers. Mark the patch, note the season, and find your way back next year. No account. Your spots stay on your phone.
Free to use, with no sign-up. Optional Premium and Pro for more.

Offline maps
Download a region before you head out. The map keeps working when the signal drops.
Guide me
A straight line to your spot, with distance and bearing. Handy when the trail runs out.
Backups you own
Export your spots as GeoJSON and import them again. Star favourites to find them fast.
Your spots are yours
A good patch is worth keeping quiet. Forage is built so that nobody else sees it, including us.
- No account and no sign-in.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- Spots, notes, photos and visits are stored on your phone. We don't run a server to send them to.
- Weather lookups use a rough 10 km grid square, never a spot's exact location.
- The assistant runs on your device. Your questions stay there.
Free, Premium and Pro
Start free. Upgrade if you want conditions and alerts, or tools for selling what you harvest.

A notebook, not a field guide
Forage never identifies a species and never tells you something is safe to eat. “Probably ready” is a weather-based estimate for a spot you already know, not an identification. You are responsible for what you pick. If you are not sure, ask a local expert, and leave it.
Coming soon
Forage is on its way to the App Store and Google Play.
