Your neighborhood, drawn in birdsong.
Open the app on a Tuesday morning. See one sentence about a bird that visited the yard. See the neighborhood drawn. Close the app within thirty seconds knowing the day has already had something good in it.
That feeling is the product. Everything else is in service of it.
A cardinal visited your maple this morning.
Your neighborhood, drawn. Your yard outlined. Birds pinned where they were seen. One italic sentence tells you what happened while you were sleeping.
Birds you've seen, logged through Merlin and eBird. Your personal record, placed on the map.
Fresh sightings, pulsing gently. Something was here this morning.
Other birders in the neighborhood. The ambient life of the area, quietly shown.
Every sighting becomes a memory. Time, place, weather, and a note if you want one. A quiet record that grows over months.
Every species you see lights up a card. Species spotted nearby but not yet by you wait as silhouettes. A quiet collection that grows over time.
Use Merlin to identify it. Merlin does the hard part.
Your sighting syncs from Merlin to eBird automatically.
Next time you open Roost, your sighting appears on the map — tagged as yours, placed where you saw it.
Other birders nearby add ambient data. Your map comes alive with what's around you.
Roost is not a birding tool.
Merlin is the birding tool.
Roost is what makes the birds
feel like neighbors.
