Built for birders who want ID, logging, and social discovery to feel more playful and rewarding.
Hi Product Hunt!
I built Lifer because I wanted birdwatching to feel more fun, collectible, and social.
Birding is growing fast, and more people are getting into it through walks, gardens, local parks, and just paying more attention to what is around them. But a lot of birding apps still feel quite functional: identify something, log it, move on.
I wanted to make the experience feel more rewarding. In Lifer, every bird you identify is animated and 'flies' onto the screen for you to catch. After catching the bird it becomes a collectible species card. You can build your Aviary, grow your Life List, customise cards, chase streaks and milestones, join Birding Parties with friends, create private Flocks, and share catches with other birders and much more.
The idea evolved from a simple bird ID tool into more of a birding game layered on top of real-world nature. The goal is not to replace traditional birding, but to make it easier, more playful, and more motivating for people to keep going outside and noticing birds.
Would love to hear what you think, especially from birders, walkers, nature lovers, and anyone who has ever thought “what bird was that?”
