Show HN: BirdDex – Pokémon Go, but with real life birds
stellay Saturday, March 14, 2026Hey HN!
I've always loved games where you collect various creatures and chase 100% completion (ahem, Pokémon)
I made BirdDex to try to bring the fun of those games to real life.
Here’s how it works: you snap a photo of a bird, identify the species with AI, and add it to your personal BirdDex collection.
Each photo earns XP based on the species' rarity, and your goal is to try and “catch” all the birds in your region (lists pulled for every country from wikipedia)
Would love any feedback or thoughts!
Summary
Birddex is an online marketplace for birdwatchers, featuring a comprehensive database of bird species, expert-curated birding guides, and a community for enthusiasts to connect and share their experiences.
