Literally "as seen on screen".

oh my god.

And as a British speaker of English it amuses me that we say "fillit" steak when Americans (afaik) correctly say "fillay". There are others, but I guess there are more 'correct' British English pronunciations of words with origins like this than there are American English.

This is exactly the metaphor I use for this app! It's great.

I've used Merlin for years and it works great most of the time. Agree with others that it's a great example of something we should all have on the tiny computers in our pockets.

Until this thread I didn't realise it did photo ID! I took a photo of a black redstart last year and at the time was able to identify it via photos uploaded to social media. But I just tried the app and it got it straight away. It also added it as a new 'lifer' because I hadn't previously logged it via audio ID. Cool!

came here to say this. It's a wonderful book!

Yeah I own this watch and it is infuriatingly almost accurate for my location, but drifts over the course of the moon cycle. I now just use it as indicative but check other sources if I want the exact high and low tide times. It definitely helps solve the main thing I wanted it for though: glanceable sunrise/set, moon cycle and tide strength (as well as approximate highs and low tide).

The app is kind of clunky and I have had issues with the live GPS tracking of activities but as they're not the main reasons I got it, I don't mind too much.

Possibly Jellyfin?

Just echoing other comments as the first post I saw was from someone who wanted a knife so they could "stab girls" while whispering in their ear that they are "getting their hormones". Wow.

Android's Digital Wellbeing also has an option for Bedtime Mode to enable greyscale mode (along with do not disturb etc.). I find that really useful and it also has a sort of snooze option in the notifications if you quickly need to disable it for a short period.
