The problem

Aquarium apps are still stuck in spreadsheets

  • Manually typing water parameters after every test
  • Trying to remember when you last cleaned the filter
  • Looking up fish compatibility at the store
  • Slow, repetitive, and easy to ignore
  • It turns a relaxing hobby into a chore

There's a better way.

Why I built this

I'm Matthias, and I built TankSnap because aquarium apps frustrated me more than they helped.

Every app I tried wanted me to manually type in water values, navigate through endless menus, or learn some overcomplicated system just to track my tanks. I wanted something that just works: see something, snap it, done. So I built it myself.

FAQ

TankSnap uses AI-powered image recognition to identify aquarium fish and plants from a photo. It returns the species name, care requirements, and compatibility insights automatically.

Do I need an account to use TankSnap?

No. TankSnap never asks for a name, email address, or password. Your tank log lives on your device, and requests to our servers carry only a random identifier generated on your device — never your identity.

No. There are no ads in the free version or in Pro, and the app contains no advertising SDK.

No catch

No account. No ads. Just your tanks.

👤

Anonymous by default

No account, no email address, no password. TankSnap gives your device a random identifier on first launch, and that is the only thing tying you to a scan.

🚫

No ads, ever

Not in the free version, not in Pro. There is no advertising SDK in the app at all — nothing to dismiss, nothing to wait out.
