Studio Florez · iOS · Augmented reality
Herbario names the trees, flowers and leaves you point your iPhone at — and pins each name in the air, on the plant itself, where it stays as you walk. Keep what you find in a herbarium that works with no signal at all.
Coming to the App Store. Free — five identifications a day, no ads, ever.
How it works
No forms, no photo library, no cropping. The camera is the whole interface.
On-device recognition watches through the camera and the brackets turn green over vegetation — so you tap when it matters, not on gravel.
Matched against Pl@ntNet’s research-grade identification network, then pinned in world space. The label stays on the bush as you walk around it.
Photo, name, place and moment, saved on your iPhone. Add a field note. Browse it all later with no signal, anywhere.
Why Herbario
Every other identifier asks you to photograph a plant and read about it on a results screen. Herbario writes the answer where you are looking — and it is honest about how sure it is.
Names anchor to the plants themselves and stay put as you move. Walk a trail and leave a trail of labels behind you.
Every match carries a plainly worded confidence level. Identification is probabilistic, and pretending otherwise is how apps get plants wrong with a straight face.
The runners-up are kept with every sighting, so a near-miss is a correction on the spot — not a second trip to the same hedgerow.
Leaf, flower, fruit or bark — a one-tap picker that noticeably sharpens accuracy, with framing hints written for someone standing in a field.
Naming a new plant needs a signal. Everything else — every photo, name, place and note you have kept — works in airplane mode, forever.
No ads, no trackers, no account required. Your collection lives on your device. Read the privacy policy — it is short because there is little to tell.
The herbarium
An identification you glance at once is a lookup. A collection you come back to is knowledge. Herbario keeps every find as a pressed specimen — photo, binomial, family, the spot you found it, and your own note — organised by recency or by species.
Pricing
The one promise that outranks the rest: everything you have saved stays free forever. Your own collection will never sit behind a paywall, Pro or not.
On the bench
Care for the trees around your own casa — citrus, aguacate, mezquite, nopal, guayaba. When to prune, when to graft, when to expect frost, drawn from ranchero technique rather than houseplant apps. And because a tree on your land is fixed in place, its pin is still there next season, holding its name and its next job. Spanish first. En español, como debe ser.
Also coming: a web herbarium — your collection as a page worth sharing, with locations of wild finds blurred by default so rare plants stay where they grow.
FAQ
Point the camera and tap. The photo is matched against Pl@ntNet’s research-grade identification network — built by botanists and used by scientists — and the best matches come back in seconds, runners-up included.
The answer appears in the world. Names anchor to the plants themselves in augmented reality and stay there as you move, instead of living on a results screen you swipe away. And Herbario always tells you how confident the match is, in words.
Naming a new plant needs a signal, and the app says so plainly when there is none. Your saved herbarium — photos, names, places, notes — lives on your iPhone and works with no connection at all.
Yes: five identifications a day, an unlimited collection, and no ads on any tier. Herbario Pro removes the daily limit. Anything you have already saved stays free forever.
Good, and honest about when it isn’t. Every match carries a worded confidence level, the likely alternatives are one tap away, and telling the app whether it is looking at a leaf, flower, fruit or bark measurably sharpens results.
Yes — bark is one of the capture modes. Tell Herbario whether it is looking at a leaf, flower, fruit or bark and it matches against the right model, which is what makes tree identification work when there are no leaves in reach.
Yes. Herbario identifies cultivated plants as well as wild ones — though its heart is the field: trails, hedgerows, parks and your own terreno.
No. No sign-up, no password, no profile. Open the app and point it at a plant.
Photos are sent for identification and your collection is stored on your device. Location is optional — it records where you found each plant and is never required. No ads, no trackers. The full picture is in the privacy policy.
