Hold the fish up and point your camera. Reel names the species, tells you what you are looking at, and turns the catch into a page in an aquarium that keeps filling.
One camera, one purpose. Name the fish in front of you, then watch a collection assemble itself trip after trip.
Hold the fish side-on, fill the frame, and tap once. The species comes back in seconds, common name and scientific name together.
Each result carries a plain-language description plus the supporting details worth knowing, from where the fish lives to how big it usually runs.
Every identification is labelled High, Medium, or Low, and anything worth a second look is flagged as a caution rather than buried.
Every new species becomes a tile with your own photo, grouped into sets. Catch the same species again and the tile counts the visit.
Common to Legendary. Rarer catches are worth more XP, and the aquarium keeps your rarest fish on display.
Scans earn XP along a ladder from Minnow to Leviathan, with a medal and a line of identity at every step.
A fresh quest every day, worth 50 XP, plus streak bonuses that stack. Ten badges wait behind the milestones.
A precision zoom dial, a flash toggle, and your photo library one tap away for the catches you already photographed.
From a fish in your hands to knowing its name. No account, no setup.
Open Reel and point the camera. Side-on, with the whole fish in frame, gives the analysis the most to read. Use the zoom dial when you cannot get closer.
Tap the shutter, or pull an existing photo from your library. Good daylight and a clean background give the AI the most to work with.
Seconds later you get the name, the description, the details, and a confidence label. The catch lands in your aquarium with its rarity and XP.
One scan a day and your aquarium fills for life. Download Reel and stop guessing at what came up on the line.

No. Identifications are AI-generated estimates provided for informational and recreational purposes only. Never eat, keep, handle, or release a fish based solely on an identification from Reel. Misidentifying a species can be dangerous, through venomous spines, toxic flesh, and look-alike species, and it can be illegal where a species is protected or regulated. Reel is not a source of fishing regulations: you are solely responsible for knowing and following local laws, licences, seasons, size and bag limits, and protected-species rules.
Alongside the common and scientific name you get a plain-language description, supporting details such as habitat and typical size, any cautions the analysis flags, and a rarity tier for the catch.
Every result carries a confidence label of High, Medium, or Low. Accuracy depends on lighting, framing, wet glare, and how much of the fish is visible. Treat the result as a well-informed starting point, not a verdict.
No. Photos travel over HTTPS to our backend, which passes them to Google Gemini for analysis and returns the result. They are processed transiently and are not retained by us afterwards. The copy saved with a catch stays on your device.
It becomes a species in your aquarium with your photo, its set, and its rarity tier. Catches earn XP toward ten levels from Minnow to Leviathan, and feed daily quests, streaks, and badges.
