Outdoor skills that stick: between trips, in real weather, with light crew competition.
Survivly is a gamified bushcraft and foraging app for iPhone: structured lessons and ranks, weather-aware daily quests, and a vitals loop tied to conditions. WildDex is built for the trail: camera plant identification so you can identify plants from photos, log discoveries, and browse a field guide, plus pack upkeep, shop and player market, and optional patrols when you want shared progress and friendly cups.

Learn on purpose
Structured lessons and rank progression keep the path clear: outdoor skills with a light game loop, not a lecture hall. Daily quests respond to the weather, so your next small challenge matches the day outside, not a generic checklist.
- Structured lessons and clear ranks
- Weather-aware daily quests
- Progression you can return to between outings
Carry it like it counts
Your bag has weight limits, durability, and upkeep. Earn credits and XP, use the shop and player market, and sharpen real skills through short maintenance moments like fire, compass, knots, water filter, first aid, map navigation, knife care, and more.
- Pack weight limits and item durability
- Shop, player market, credits, and XP
- Focused upkeep drills you can repeat
Field rhythm, discoveries, fair play
Comfort, health, and energy shift with weather and what you carry, and you can rest in an optional recovery state when you need a reset. WildDex pairs a field guide with photo-based plant identification: use your camera to identify plants and log what you find; on first discovery you can optionally save GPS where supported. Step-based foraging rewards walking within pack-weight limits. On supported devices, discovery rankings only count captures that pass motion and image checks.
- Vitals loop tied to conditions (optional recovery)
- WildDex: plant identification from photos + field guide
- Step-based foraging with pack-aware limits
- Trust-checked discovery rankings where supported
Built for real days outside
Pack discipline, camera plant identification when you are outside, a weather-aware daily rhythm, and optional patrols when you want a shared stash and light competition.
Gear & inventory
Durability, weight limits, shop and player market, credits and XP, so your loadout reflects how you actually use and maintain gear.
Comfort, health, energy
A simple vitals loop that moves with time and weather, with optional recovery when you need a reset, built for habit, not hype.
Patrols & Patrol Cup
With an account and iCloud: shared stash for fire, shelter, and water, chat, donations, browse and create patrols, and cup-style battles across steps, fishing, and trapping, with rankings synced via CloudKit.
What you get
A calm, practical loop: learn outdoor skills, carry a believable pack, identify plants from photos when you are out, and optionally roll with a patrol when you want company and a little competition.

Who it is for
Anyone who wants to learn bushcraft in a structured, lightly gamified way, with plant identification from your phone when curiosity hits on the trail. Lessons, ranks, quests, and pack upkeep make practice easy to pick up and put down. You do not need to be a hiker or live at the trailhead. Curious beginners, weekend bushcrafters, and experienced folks who want a steady loop between trips all fit here. Patrols stay optional when you want friends and a friendly cup.
Requirements
Survivly is planned for iPhone on the App Store (join the waitlist for launch news). After release you can explore in guest mode with limits; create an account to unlock full social and patrol features. Patrols need an Apple account and iCloud. Some scanner and leaderboard checks depend on device support. Where those checks are not available, the rest of the app still works.
