Bird Identifier: Birdly

AI bird identification from a single photo

Project Overview

Birdly helps users identify bird species by uploading a photo, returning likely matches with a fast, simple experience designed for everyday birdwatching and curiosity.

Designed and built Birdly as a production iOS app using React Native, Expo, and TypeScript with Supabase for backend services, plus Supabase Edge Functions to orchestrate secure photo uploads and AI-powered bird identification workflows. The core flow takes a bird photo, analyzes visual characteristics, and returns likely species results in a clear, easy-to-understand format.

Localized the app in multiple languages, then shipped and optimized the App Store listing with multilingual metadata, screenshots, and ASO iterations, and launched a marketing site to support acquisition.
