ChirpoMatic has been developed by the small team of scientists and computer scientists at iSpiny
Particularly Dr Hilary Lind, biologist turned software developer, and Dr Alex Wilson, computer scientist. Data scientist Dr Phil Howard was also heavily involved in the early stages of the app’s development
We are experienced app developers specialising in bird and butterfly apps, dedicated to creating the best nature apps possible.
We focus on quality, not quantity—taking pride in our work and building apps we love to use ourselves.
Our bestselling birdsong apps help you identify and learn bird sounds in two ways:
Chirp! – Helps you learn bird songs the traditional way, by listening and memorising.
ChirpOMatic – Instantly identifies bird calls with advanced sound recognition.


The Only Bird-Safe Sound ID App
Playing bird recordings can disturb nesting birds, distracting them from essential tasks like feeding their young and defending their territory. ChirpOMatic is the only bird sound app that’s safe to use anywhere, at any time, thanks to Bird-safe Mode.
With Bird-safe Mode on, sounds can only be heard when you hold the phone to your ear—just like a phone call—ensuring birds are not disturbed.
Note: Bird-safe Mode is not available on Android.
Simple and Easy to Use
Hear a bird? Keep still, stay quiet, and tap the red button.
If the result is clear, the app shows a single match. For less distinct recordings, it provides the top three matches.
Listen to the comparison sounds and read the hints to confirm the correct match.
If you don’t get a match, try again—the app may have picked up an unexpected sound.
