About This Project

Falconry Journal is a mobile app (iOS and Android) that replaces the traditional paper logbook for falconers, making it quick and easy to record your bird’s weight, feeding amounts and quarry kills. It automatically predicts future weight based on loss‐per‐hour trends, geocodes kill locations from your photos, lets you export all your data for reporting or analysis, and securely stores important paperwork in the cloud.
