Wild Vault

Have you ever wondered how many bird species you’ve photographed so far? Or wanted to quickly check the shots you have of a specific species you just saw? Maybe, all your in-flight, or action shots?
These were the kinds of questions I also asked often, which led me to creating Wild Vault.

Wild Vault helps you explore, organize, and revisit your entire nature photography journey — anywhere. If your iPhone is in your pocket, your photos and insights are too.

Wild Vault is completely free and contains no ads.


Wild Vault is a personal photo organizer for nature photographers who want to track species, explore their shots, and relive their photographic journey — all directly from their iPhone.


What can you do with Wild Vault?

- Organize your photos by species, keywords, rating, EXIF and other metadata
- Easily find and assign any living species to your photos. The huge species database contains basically everything living, including animals, plants and fungi, thanks to iNaturalist.
- Quickly find photos of a specific animal, or filter based on any of the supported metadata. Combine filters for powerful results
- View and manage photo metadata
- Share your photos on social media or anywhere else
- Personalize your species repository, by assigning your favorite photo as “cover image”. Learn about species, starting directly from the app.
- Attention: Wild Vault is NOT an automatic identification app. You have to manually assign species to your photos, but you are backed by a huge database and tools that make it easy.

Wild Vault was designed with simplicity and fast workflows in mind. Maintaining your collection should be joy, not a struggle.

Ask better questions about your photos:
- Which species have I photographed so far? What are my best photos of each of them?
- Which photos haven’t been identified yet?
- Show me all my in-flight or action shots
- Find photos taken with a specific camera and/or lens
- Explore your images by species, time, technical details and other metadata
or : “Show me all my insect and spider photos taken this year with my favorite macro lens.”

Wild Vault makes complex photo queries simple and intuitive.
