Biowatch: Free, Open Source software for camtrap dataset visualization and curation
Hi everyone 👋 — wanted to share something we've been building that feels right at home in this community: Biowatch, a free and open-source desktop app for wildlife researchers and conservationists working with camera trap data.
The idea is simple: everything runs locally on your machine. Species identification models, image browsing, spatial maps, temporal activity analysis — no uploads, no accounts, no tracking. It's CamtrapDP-compatible for clean import/export with GBIF, and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
We'd really love feedback from folks here — especially on which models you'd like to see integrated next, and what analyses would actually save you time in the field.
