What CatchAI does

Everything the existing
apps don't do

📸

AI Fish ID — trained on Australian species

Most ID apps are trained on global databases. CatchAI uses a model built specifically on Australian species data from CSIRO, AIMS, and the Australian National Fish Collection — so it actually knows the difference between a dusky flathead and a rock flathead.

OzFish Dataset · CSIRO ANFC
📍

GPS Jurisdiction Detection

Your location determines your rules. Cross from NSW into QLD waters and the bag limits update automatically. No guessing. No fines.

📶

Fully Offline

All species data, regulations, and marine park boundaries are cached on your device. No signal? No problem. This is for real fishing, not car parks.

🗺️

Marine Park Zone Alerts

Real-time alerts when you enter sanctuary zones, habitat protection zones, or closed areas. Know before you cast, not after.

☀️

Outdoor-First Design

High contrast. Big targets. Readable in full sun, on a rocking boat, with wet hands. Built by people who actually fish.

📊

Catch Log & Conservation Data

Every scan builds your personal catch history with GPS, weather, tide, and moon phase. Opt in to share anonymised data with state fisheries research — turning every angler into a citizen scientist.

Citizen Science Ready
How it works

Three steps.
Under 10 seconds.

01

Snap your catch

Open CatchAI, point your camera at the fish. Works with a fish in hand, in a net, or in the water. Even works with blurry or low-light shots.

02

Instant ID

Our AI identifies the species in under 3 seconds. Get the common name, scientific name, habitat info, edibility rating, and similar species to compare against.

03

Check your local regs

GPS confirms your jurisdiction. You instantly see the size limit, bag limit, season, and how many you've already kept today. Green means good. Red means let it go.

GPS-powered fishing intelligence

Arrive anywhere.
Know what's biting.

CatchAI doesn't just tell you what you caught — it tells you what you're likely to catch before you even wet a line. Using aggregated, anonymised data from thousands of anglers combined with BOM weather, tide charts, and solunar tables, CatchAI builds a real-time picture of what's firing at your exact GPS location.

This isn't one bloke's opinion on a forum. It's averaged data across hundreds of catch reports for your specific spot, cross-referenced with current conditions. The more people fish with CatchAI, the smarter it gets.

🌊
Tide & Moon Phase Matching
Knows that jewfish here fire on the outgoing tide during a full moon — because the data from 200+ catches proves it.
📊
Aggregated, Not Anecdotal
Every prediction is backed by averaged community catch data plus BOM weather and tide feeds. Not just one person's hot tip.
🧠
Gets Smarter Over Time
Every catch logged by every angler improves predictions for that spot. The more people use CatchAI, the better it works for everyone.

☠️ VENOMOUS — Do Not Handle
Blue-ringed octopus carry tetrodotoxin — one of the most potent toxins found in nature. A single bite can be fatal. There is no antivenom. If bitten, call 000 immediately and begin CPR if breathing stops.
🔵 Identification: Blue Rings Flash When Threatened
Small (12–20 cm), yellowish-brown body. Iridescent blue rings appear and pulse bright blue when the animal is agitated. If you see the rings — back away immediately.
📋 What To Do
Do not touch. Do not attempt to pick up. Photograph from a safe distance if needed for ID. If found in a net or catch, use long pliers to carefully release. Alert nearby anglers.

CatchAI isn't just a tool — it's a community of anglers. Share your catches, celebrate PBs, post Catch of the Day, and warn other fishers about hazards — all without giving away your exact spot.

GPS locations are fuzzy by default — posts show the general area (e.g. "Sydney Harbour") not your secret ledge. Share with everyone, or keep it to your trusted mates.

No ruler needed

Point. Measure.
Know instantly.

Hold your phone next to the fish and CatchAI measures the length using AR — no tape, no ruler, no guessing. It immediately cross-references the measurement against local size limits and tells you if it's a keeper.

Works with fish in hand, on a cutting board, or on the deck. The AI auto-detects the head and tail for accurate measurement even at an angle. Combined with the species ID, you get a full legal check in seconds.
