Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Flog different from simply keeping notes on my phone?
Flog automatically enriches your outdoor experiences with historical context that would otherwise be difficult—or impossible—to remember later. Instead of just saving a photo and a note, Flog builds a complete Field Log that can include location, historical weather, river conditions, tides, sun and moon information, and other environmental data, making each outdoor experience searchable and more meaningful over time.
What is Flog?
Flog is a privacy-first outdoor journal that transforms your photos into searchable Field Logs enriched with historical environmental conditions such as weather, river flows, tides, sunrise/sunset, moon phase, and more.
Who is Flog for?
Flog is designed for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors, including:
- Anglers
- Birders
- Hikers
- Foragers
- Hunters
- Backpackers
- Naturalists
- Explorers
Do I need to create an account?
No.
Flog does not require an account to use the app.
Where is my data stored?
Your Field Logs are stored on your own device.
Flog was designed with a privacy-first philosophy and does not maintain a cloud database of your personal logs.
Are my photos uploaded?
No.
Flog does not upload your photos. Your original photos remain in your Apple Photos library.
Does Flog copy my photos?
No.
Flog links your Field Logs to the photos you select. Your original images remain in Apple Photos.
Why does Flog ask for access to my Photos?
Flog uses your selected photos to create Field Logs and retrieve the date, time, and location associated with each outdoor experience.
Why does Flog ask for my location?
Location allows Flog to determine where your activity occurred so it can retrieve historical environmental information relevant to that location.
What if my photo doesn't contain GPS information?
If a photo doesn't include location information, Flog will ask you to choose the activity location manually before environmental information can be retrieved.
Can I change the primary photo for a Field Log?
No.
The first photo selected when creating a Field Log becomes the Primary Photo for that log. This helps preserve the original record of your outdoor experience.
Can I edit a Field Log?
Yes.
You can update your notes and edit the Activity Category after creating a Field Log.
What happens if environmental information isn't available?
Your Field Log is still created successfully.
If environmental data cannot be retrieved, Flog simply indicates that the information is unavailable while preserving the rest of your log.
What happens if I delete a photo from Apple Photos?
The Field Log remains.
If the original photo is removed from Apple Photos, Flog will indicate that the photo is no longer available while keeping the rest of your log intact.
What happens if I delete a Field Log?
Deleting a Field Log removes only the log itself.
Your original photos remain in Apple Photos.
Does Flog work without an internet connection?
You can browse and view your existing Field Logs offline.
Some environmental information may require an internet connection when a new Field Log is being created.
Does Flog sell or share my data?
No.
Flog does not sell your personal information and does not build advertising profiles.
Is my information private?
Yes.
Privacy is a core design principle of Flog. Your outdoor experiences belong to you.
Will Flog support cloud sync?
Not in the current version.
Future versions may introduce optional cloud synchronization. If that happens, it will be opt-in.
