Critterhood is a community-driven wildlife alert app. Report sightings and get notified when wildlife is spotted near the places that matter to you.
Free on iPhone and Android.
Report it in seconds. A few taps puts it on the map, and others watching the area get a heads-up right away.
See what's been reported, filter by species or time window, and tap any pin for the full details.
Watch the places that matter the most to you — home, school, a trail, or anywhere else. Get an alert as soon as wildlife is reported in any of them.
Share any sighting with anyone, even if they don't have the app. Flag reports that look off or animals that have moved on.
Know what to do if you meet a bear, cougar, coyote, and more. Practical tips for 11 species, plus links to official wildlife agencies.
No account, no sign-in, no personal profile. Sightings you submit are never linked to your identity.
Critterhood never passes sightings on to any agency or authority. It's simply about awareness, so people can give wildlife space and take action if needed to help keep everyone safe, including the animals.
If an animal is a threat to anyone's safety, contact 911 or your local wildlife authority directly.
A Critterhood user submits a quick report of what they saw.
Critterhood looks at whether it's inside one of your alert zones, during the hours you've chosen.
An alert pops up on your phone right away, letting you know about the visitor.
Critterhood keeps watch so you don't have to keep checking the map. You decide where, when, and how often you hear about it.
Free on iPhone and Android.
