hudhud is a quiet, personal bird-feeding tracker. Log every feeding in seconds — count, food, species, and a note for the moments that matter.
Good evening,
friend.
Five birds came by today. The wren returned for the third evening in a row.
Count, food, note. A quick panel that respects your hands and the birds at the feeder. Photo optional, friction zero.
Heatmaps, sparklines, and species breakdowns reveal when birds visit, what they eat, and which return week after week.
Smart suggestions learn when birds visit your feeders, then nudge you to be there. Routine, but never robotic.
Every count, every note, every quiet evening at the feeder adds up to something larger than itself. hudhud keeps the ledger so you can keep watching.
Pull up the sheet, tap a count, pick a food. Add species if you saw them. Write a note if the moment deserves it.
How many birds?
A rough count is fine.
An 8-week heatmap shows your routine. Time-of-day curves reveal the morning and evening peaks. Species bars track your most loyal regulars.
Schedule your morning seed run, the noon water refill, the dusk feeding. Or let hudhud suggest the times your birds actually visit.
"I started keeping hudhud the way my grandmother kept her garden journal. It feels like an heirloom, not an app."
"Three taps and I'm back to watching the cardinals. No menus, no ads, no nonsense. Just the count and the bird."
"The heatmap caught me by surprise. Eight weeks of feedings rendered as a quiet little tapestry. I'm hooked."
Yes. Free to open, free to use, no ads, no upsells. We may add an optional Patron tier later for power users with multiple feeders or shared journals — but the core app stays free forever.
You sign in with just your email — no password, no form to fill. Your journal is tied to your account so it's always there when you return.
You pick from a curated list of common backyard birds, with regional defaults based on your location. Photo-based ID is on our roadmap for late 2026.
It stays on your device. We don't sell it, share it, or analyze it. Backups (when you opt in) are end-to-end encrypted. You can export everything as a markdown journal at any time.
Yes. hudhud tracks six food types out of the box: seed mix, suet, fruit, nectar, mealworm, and fresh water. You can add custom foods if you feed something different.
Open hudhud, log your first feeding, and start the most quietly rewarding habit you'll keep this year.
