PRIVATE BETA — EARLY ACCESS
Close the tabs. Your whole wildlife trip, one map.
Maps, screenshots, spreadsheets, half-remembered links — every trip you plan is scattered. Faunero puts research, days, and drive times on one map, so first light finds you in the right place.
A real wildlife map — protected areas, wildlife places, honest seasonal evidence. Join the private beta and help shape it.
SEVENTEEN TABS IS NOT A PLAN
You know the ritual. A maps tab for the refuge, another for the trail. eBird bar charts. A sunrise calculator. Screenshots you'll never find again. A spreadsheet named final_v3, quietly doing the drive-time math wrong. Seventeen tabs is not a plan — it's research with nowhere to live. Faunero gives it all one home: a wildlife map that holds your places, your notes, and your days — where wrong is visible and right is checkable.
Watch a trip come together
No mockups, no demo tricks — here's the actual loop, four steps.
RESEARCH
Type “Denver, June 3–6, one free day” and land on a map with honest evidence.
SAVE
Pin the places worth your time, notes attached.
SHAPE
Drag them into days; drive times recompute as you move them — arithmetic, not vibes.
FIELD
It all becomes your Fieldbook.
Four steps; a weekend outing assembles from your saves in under ten minutes. Count the tabs they replace.
Your Fieldbook, field-ready
Tabs die where the pavement ends. Your Fieldbook doesn't — because a plan only counts if it's with you at 5 a.m. with no bars. Today that means day cards with places in order and drive times, your own notes pinned where you need them — saved to your phone as a static snapshot, printable, working where signal doesn't. By beta it adds sun, golden-hour, and moon tables per place, and a safety card with emergency numbers.
A REAL OUTING, NOT A MOCKUP
An example Fieldbook from real plans publishes with the beta — public, no login.
publishing soonReal evidence, or honest absence
Half those tabs exist because you don't trust any single one. Fair — a confident guess costs you a morning. So Faunero keeps one rule: grounded or silent. Seasonal evidence is labeled what it is — effort-biased occurrence, not abundance — with an eBird link-out so you can check the homework yourself. Where data is thin, the card says “not mapped here.” It never invents a sighting. It never chases live rarities. Sources are named, or nothing is shown.
One map, every scale
The Saturday patch 45 minutes from home and the self-drive trip 4,500 miles away fall apart in the same browser. Same fix: one map that holds both — neighborhood zoom for this weekend, country zoom for the big one, your places and history on each. Patch mornings keep your eye in; the big trip starts from everything those mornings taught you. Built for self-guided, road-accessible trips — guided safaris and lodge packages stay research here, with links out to the people who run them.
The beta, in plain words
FREE FOR BETA TESTERS
The private beta is free — about six months of full, hands-on planning for a small group of selected testers. We're not charging anyone during beta. Your feedback is the price.
AFTER BETA
If you decide to keep using Faunero once beta ends, you'll get a discounted annual plan as a thank-you. No commitment now, no card required to join.
Built by the guy using it
I'm Ryan — photographer, trip planner, and the person whose seventeen tabs this page is about. I'm building Faunero to plan my own outings, the weekly ones and the big ones, because tabs kept costing me light. You won't find testimonials; there are no users yet. Two permanent promises: no fake reviews, no invented data. Ever.

Honest FAQ
Is this another AI trip planner?+
No. AI here has one job: parsing your typed search into a starting point. It can't write your Fieldbook or touch your plan — it's built under one hard rule: no write access to your plan or your Fieldbook.
When does the beta start?+
When the Fieldbook passes its final ship gate. It's a small, closed group of testers, picked from this list.
What does the beta cost?+
Nothing. The private beta is free for selected testers — about six months of full access. If you decide to continue after beta, you'll get a discounted annual plan as a thank-you. No one is charged during beta.
Is it an app?+
A web app, built mobile-first. Your Fieldbook works offline.
Where's the data from?+
GBIF and named sources, with eBird link-outs — or honest silence.
Do you book safaris?+
No — research and links out to the people who run them.
