Snap a photo. The AI identifies the species. GPS, weather, moon phase, and water body fill themselves in. That's the whole flow — about five seconds, hands free of typing.
Coming Soon to Google PlayComing soon to Android • Free for your first 10 catches • $29.99/yr or $2.99/mo after that
From "fish in the boat" to "logged" in about five seconds. Photo, AI species ID, GPS, and weather auto-fill so you're back to fishing, not typing.
No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. Your catches, photos, and GPS coordinates live on your phone — not on someone else's server.
The list of things this app deliberately isn't.
No social network. No followers, no leaderboards, no comparing your day to a stranger's.
No cloud sync. Your data lives on your phone, not on someone else's server.
No analytics. We literally can't see what you're doing in the app.
No ads. No data brokers. No surprises.
No setup, no sign-up, no fumbling with menus. Just catch and tap.
Take a quick photo of your catch. The camera opens automatically when you start a new entry.
On-device AI instantly recognizes the species from your photo — no internet needed.
GPS, weather, moon phase, and barometric pressure are captured automatically in the background.
Save your catch and generate a Brag Card to share your best fish via text, social media, or anywhere — but not where you caught it ;)
Built by anglers, for anglers. Every feature is designed to help you catch more fish and understand the patterns behind your best days.
Snap a photo and a 3-stage AI pipeline — detection, segmentation, and a 639-species classifier — tells you what you've got. Runs entirely on your phone, no internet required.
GPS, water body name, weather, wind, moon phase, and barometric pressure all fill themselves in from a single tap. The data is just there when you look back — no notebook required.
Every catch is checked against the official US state record. If you're within 95% of a record, the app tells you — before you put the fish back.
Hourly bite-time heatmaps, weather correlations, moon-phase analysis, and seasonal trends. Stop guessing why some trips work and others don't.
Generates a 1080×1920 social-ready card with photo, species, length, weather, and conditions. Share to anywhere — the GPS coordinates are deliberately left off.
Every GPS-tagged catch shows up on an interactive map with satellite, street, and topo views. Custom pins show species, stats, and conditions at a glance.
Personal bests tracked per species — longest, heaviest, most caught. Sort, filter, and watch your numbers climb season over season. Friend's catches stay separate so your stats stay honest.
No accounts, no cloud, no analytics SDKs. Photos, GPS, AI ID, and logging all work without a signal — perfect for the spots where there is none.
Catching the same species on the same rig? One tap clones your last catch's species, lure, technique, depth, and water temp.
Log your buddy's catches under their name. Their fish stay out of your personal bests and analytics.
Export your full log — catches, photos, settings — as a ZIP. Restore anytime on any device. Your data, your file.
Estimate weight from length using species-specific formulas. Override with a real number anytime if you have a scale.
Rotating tips on the dashboard cover techniques, gear, species, weather patterns, and conservation. Always something new.
Dark, Light, System, and a high-contrast Outdoor mode tuned for sunlight and water glare. Built so you can actually see the screen on the boat.
Place a quarter, credit card, or dollar bill in the photo as a size reference and the app calculates fish length for you. No measuring board to carry.
Most "AI fish ID" apps either need an internet connection (because the model is on someone's server) or ship a tiny model that misidentifies bluegill as crappie. Elevated Fishing bundles three real neural networks into the app itself — detection, segmentation, and a 639-species classifier — and runs them on your phone, with no internet required. A five-stage reranker layered on top knows a saltwater grouper shouldn't show up in a North Dakota lake, and tells you when the photo isn't clear enough to be sure.
Generate a Brag Card with one tap. Your fish photo, species, stats, weather, lure, and technique — all laid out in a social-ready 9:16 format with professional styling and your app branding.
Every cast adds data. Elevated Fishing turns your log into actionable insights so you can figure out what's working and plan better trips.
Every catch with GPS shows up on an interactive map. Switch between satellite, street, and topographic views to see your fishing spots from every angle.
Track personal bests by species and see how you stack up against official state records. The app automatically checks your GPS location against US state fish records and alerts you when you're within striking distance.
Four themes designed for real fishing conditions. The Outdoor theme uses high-contrast colors optimized for bright sunlight and water glare — so you can actually see the screen on the boat.
I'm Scott. I live in North Dakota, work in tech and consulting, and have been on the water just about as long as I can remember — fly rod, spinning reel, boat, shoreline, prairie reservoirs to mountain streams to Pacific tailraces and just about everywhere in between. Every time I had a great day on the water, I'd want to know why — but at the time, the technology for fast catch logging just wasn't there. It felt like trying to navigate the Missouri with the instruments of Lewis and Clark.
So I built the one I wanted: log a catch in seconds, keep your data on your phone, and over time start seeing the patterns that actually move your numbers. No homework. No five-minute typing sessions when you should be casting. Just the data you'd want at the end of a great day on the water — captured the moment it happens.
Yes. The AI fish ID, photo capture, GPS, and catch logging all run entirely on your phone with no internet connection. You can fish a remote lake all day, log everything, and the app never reaches out to the internet.
The only piece that needs a signal is the live weather lookup from the National Weather Service. If you save a catch while offline, moon phase still fills in — it's calculated on-device — but temperature, wind, conditions, and barometric pressure for that catch will stay blank. We don't silently retry the lookup later, and we won't pretend to have data we couldn't fetch.
Nothing. Your catches, photos, maps, analytics, and Brag Cards all stay fully accessible. The subscription unlocks logging new catches beyond the first 10 — everything you've already saved is yours forever, regardless of subscription status.
Since the data lives on your device (not our server), there's no "account closure" event that could ever take it away.
The classifier covers 639 species and runs through a 5-stage reranker that uses your GPS, water type (fresh vs. salt), and known confusion pairs (e.g. largemouth vs. smallmouth) to refine the answer.
Accuracy varies by species and photo quality, which is why the app shows ranked alternatives with calibrated confidence — when it isn't sure, it tells you and asks for a clearer side-profile shot rather than guessing. Combined with the GPS and water-type reranker, the right species is almost always either the top pick or one tap away in the alternatives list.
You can override the suggestion with the correct species in one tap. The AI shows ranked alternatives with confidence scores so you can usually pick the right one from the list.
Override doesn't "punish" the model — it just records your catch correctly. The model itself doesn't learn from corrections (that would require sending data off the device, which the app doesn't do).
The core fish ID, logging, photos, GPS, and analytics work anywhere in the world. But two pieces are US-only today:
Weather — pulled from the National Weather Service (US-only API).
State records — only US state record databases are loaded; international record alerts aren't supported yet.
If you're outside the US, you can still log catches, take measurements, generate Brag Cards, and use the map — you just won't get auto-filled weather or record alerts.
Two reasons. First, no ads — the only realistic way to fund a no-tracking app is to charge for it. Second, no investors — there's no growth-at-all-costs pressure to monetize your behavior. The subscription pays for ongoing development and keeps the app aligned with anglers, not advertisers.
The first 10 catches are free so you can decide whether the speed and data quality are worth $2.99/month — or $29.99/year — before you pay.
No. Elevated Fishing is a private fishing log — built for the angler who wants a fast record of their own catches and the data analysis to back it up, not a social feed.
No accounts, no community, no spots shared with strangers. Just you and your data.
On your device, in a local SQLite database, in your app's private storage area. Photos sit alongside it. Nothing is sent to any Elevated Fishing server — there isn't one.
To move your data to a new phone, use the Backup & Restore feature in Settings — it exports everything as a single ZIP file you control.
Nothing. Your data already lives on your phone in a SQLite database — there's no Elevated Fishing server it depends on. Even if the app stopped getting updates tomorrow, your catches, photos, and analytics keep working on the version you have installed.
The Backup & Restore feature exports everything as a single ZIP file you control, so you can keep a copy independent of the app entirely. The data is yours, full stop.
