Questions before you start.
What HerpLabs costs, where your data is stored and which devices it runs on. How-tos for the app are in Help.
Cost and account
What does HerpLabs cost?
Nothing. HerpLabs is free for now and shows no ads.
Do I need an account?
No. With “Get started” you start as a guest, in your browser or in the app. Later you save your collection with your e-mail address or with “Continue with Apple”. Then it is on all your devices and won’t get lost.

App and devices
Is there an app?
Yes, for iPhone on the App Store, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and the US. In the browser, HerpLabs runs on any device, Android phones and computers included. Your account and data are the same everywhere.
Does HerpLabs work offline?
The app also starts without a connection and shows the collection it last loaded. You can save new entries once you are back online.
Can I bring over my Excel list?
Yes. In the settings you can import animals and entries from Excel or CSV. An import can be undone.
Try HerpLabs.
Start in your browser without an account or get the app for your iPhone. Both are free.
