PRIVATE BETA — EARLY ACCESS
A living trip planner and field notes.
Narrow down the number of apps and subscrptions you use for planning and updating your trips
A planning map and field notes for birders, wildlife observers, and photographers. Join the private beta and help shape it.
FEWER APS AND A BETTER EXPERIENCE
What you are doing today: A maps tab for the refuge, and another for finding out what you'll see there. A sunrise calculator. Screenshots you'll never find again. A spreadsheet named final_v3, that you are editing as your trip comes together. Planning an outing shouldn't mean different apps and browser tabs. — Faunero gives it all one home: a wildlife map that holds your places, your notes, and your days — a living planner and field notebook that remembers where you've been, your preferences, and provides day to day itineray for long trips, or a quick Field notes log for the simple trips.
Watch a trip come together
An entire, savable plan and field notebook, free, forever. Upgrade for enhancements, not because you'll lose access if you don't.
RESEARCH
You are in control, If you want AI assistance, you got it. If you want to do it all yourself, do it. Search the map for new locations, save your favorite spots, or ask AI to do it for you.
SAVE
Save the areas you are interested in visiting.
SHAPE
Organize your trip, get a full driving route, add in flights, and lodging for the really big trips.
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
A plan doesn't do you any good if it requires the Internet to be useful. Faunero's key features travel with you, whether you have connectivity or not. Once your fieldbook is put together, it's accessible at home or in the remote wilderness.
FULL ACCESS BETA - NO GATES
Signing up for our beta provdes full access.
publishing soonReal evidence, or honest absence
Faunero keeps one rule: grounded or silent. Seasonal evidence is labeled what it is — effort-biased occurrence, not abundance. 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.
