Three steps to a living record

1

Walk your yard

Start a timed survey or log sightings as you go. Snap a photo, note the species, choose the zone.

2

Yardsong does the ecology

Diversity scores, seasonal trends, and yard health — computed automatically from your observations.

3

Export and share

Generate beautiful PDF reports, track your garden score over time, or simply watch your Almanac grow.
