Brilliant technological minds, Open source data and ML = Perfect Guide.
Your perfect fishing guide – in your pocket.
Fishbuddy blends expert knowledge, cutting-edge AI, and powerful mapping technology to turn every fishing trip into a successful catch. Whether you’re on the coast or deep inland, we guide you to the right place, at the right time – and help you identify, measure, and log your fish in seconds.
We bridge the gap between government data requirements and market opportunities, delivering value to both public institutions and stakeholders in today’s data-driven landscape.
Governments spend billions on manual fishery monitoring. Fishbuddy’s B2C2G model, however, offers a cost-effective, scalable, and impactful alternative.
We are contracted by the Norwegian Coast Guard to provide cutting-edge, patented AR and AI technology.
Our solutions enables efficient and accurate fish stock assessment, monitoring and reporting, ensuring compliance with regulations while promoting sustainable ocean stewardship.
Simply take a photo of your catch within the app. Our patented technology uses AR and AI to identify the fish species, estimate its length and weight and provide loads of other relevant data. This is the game changer on so many levels.
Citizen science made simple – You catch fish. We log the data. The oceans get smarter. Fishbuddy provides valid, high-quality data for both fishers and authorities – turning each user into a citizen scientist. Our patented technology lets users log catches simply by taking a photo with their phone. This not only improves the fishing experience but also contributes valuable data for sustainability and life below water.
93% of users say they would share catch data if it’s easy – so we made it easier than ever.
We use our technology to monitor fishing activity and protect biodiversity.

More insight, lower cost, and better sustainability.
Coastal recreational fishing is mostly free, and therefore largely unreported – leaving authorities with limited data on fish stocks and ecosystem health. Governments today spend heavily on monitoring, but still struggle with gaps in managing fisheries sustainably.
Current practice is outdated and lacks innovation, leading to inefficient management and dramatic changes in fishing stocks all over the world.
Fishbuddy is designed for anyone interested in fishing, regardless of skill or experience. It offers pro-level features that are easy to navigate, with all the information you need to plan and enjoy your next fishing trip.
Simply take a photo of the fish and Fishbuddy will do the rest. We use a combination of artificial intelligence technologies for fish recognition, augmented reality for measuring length, weight, location, weather data and more.
Use Fishbuddy to upload, share, post, like and discuss fishing experiences with friends and colleagues. Take part in competitions and keep track of your friends´ catches.
Thanks to easy and immediate volunteer based recording of catches, simply by taking a photo of your catch, we contribute to protecting the environment and sustainable development goals.
