Is it safe for my child to talk to an AI?

Yes. Every message is screened before and after the AI replies; the creatures only ever talk about nature, stay kind and age-appropriate, and never ask your child for personal information.

Do you store my child's photos?

No. A photo is used once to recognise the creature and is never saved to our servers.

Naturely is free to download with a premium option; there are no ads and nothing is sold.

Built for roughly 3–8 year olds, enjoyed alongside a grown-up.

Do I have to sit with my child?

It's designed for a grown-up to set up and dip in; a Parent Zone lets you set time limits and review activity.

For curious kids aged 3–8

Screen time that sends them back outside.

Your child snaps a photo of a real bug or bird — and it talks back, answering their questions and teaching amazing facts. Nature that talks back.

How it works

Three simple steps — small hands can do it all.

01
Snap a creature
Point the camera at a bug, bird or minibeast. Naturely helps identify who they've found.
02
Chat and ask questions
The creature says hello. Your child talks back — by voice or typing — and asks anything they're curious about.
03
Learn facts & earn rewards
Short, friendly quizzes and lovely 'did you know' facts turn every discovery into a little win.
