Tide Pool ID: Field Guide

Know exactly which anemone, sea star, or crab is staring back at you from the rocks — and remember every low tide you chased to find it.

Anemone is an offline field guide and trip journal for the U.S. Pacific Coast intertidal zone. Most tide apps tell you WHEN the water pulls back; Anemone tells you WHAT you are looking at once it does, and keeps a record of every outing. Twenty-five common species are organized by intertidal band — upper, middle, lower — so you learn to read the shoreline the way naturalists do.

WHAT YOU GET
• Name the creature in front of you: 25 Pacific tide pool species with habitat zone, diet, lifespan, and behavior
• Look in the right place: species grouped by upper, middle, and lower zone, with a progress bar for each band you have covered
• Find what you came for fast: search and zone filters get you from "purple spiky thing" to Purple Sea Urchin in seconds
• Keep a real field journal: log each trip with location, date, low-tide time, notes, and a checklist of species you spotted
• Watch your list grow: a running count of outings, species seen, and species still left to find
• Build a personal watchlist: heart the species you are hunting for and see how many visits each one has appeared on

PERFECT FOR
• Families turning a beach day into a treasure hunt with a checklist the kids can tick off
• Teachers and homeschoolers running an intertidal lesson without a stack of laminated cards
• Beachcombers and coastal hikers who want to learn the rocks instead of just walking past them
• Anyone who has ever asked "what is that?" at a tide pool and had no signal to look it up

WHY NOT JUST A TIDE CHART?
A tide chart gets you to the water at the right hour, then leaves you there. Anemone is the guide you open once you arrive: an identification key, a zone map of where each creature lives, and a journal that remembers what you saw, where, and at what tide. Use both — Anemone was built to be the second app in your pocket on the way down the trail.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads, and no network needed on the rocks. Your journal is yours alone, and it works perfectly with zero bars.
