Our Products

Forager's Fieldbook — mobile foraging journal app

Forager’s Fieldbook

foragersfieldbook.com ↗

Our own flagship mobile app — a foraging journal for mushroom hunters, herbalists, and wildcrafters. Pin finds with AR or camera, build a personal field guide by taxonomy, track every species through its harvest window, and return at the right time. Designed, built, and shipped end-to-end by Base Nine Studios — now on Google Play, with iOS coming soon.

AR Sundial Builder — build a real, working sundial in AR

AR Sundial Builder

arsundialbuilder.com ↗

A first-party AR app that turns hard sundial geometry into a guided build. Pick from seven classical dial types, then follow a step-by-step augmented-reality flow that finds true north from the sun, calibrates to your GPS latitude, and lays the dial out in the real world — backed by real math and downloadable plans. Built and shipped end-to-end by Base Nine Studios — now on Google Play.

Our team handled full-stack development and a custom content management system to empower Netflix’s editorial workflows.

  1. 01

    Consistency

    With a tight timeline and high visibility during awards seasons, Netflix needed a site that was visually aligned with their global brand standards.

  2. 02

    Flexibility

    The site needed to be flexible for frequent content updates across series, episodes, awards submissions, and promotional assets, as well as events management.

  3. 03

    Scalability

    The site also required us to account for scalability across shows for cast, awards, assets, and events, all powered by a custom CMS solution.

Forager’s Fieldbook is our own app for foragers: a private field journal that logs each find in seconds, with its exact spot, photo and species, and tells you when it’s ready to harvest.

  1. 01

    Capture in the field

    Foragers work one-handed, off-trail, and often off-grid. We needed a way to log a find and lock its exact spot in seconds — GPS, altitude, accuracy, and photo — without fiddling with coordinates or losing the location later.

  2. 02

    Harvest timing

    A find is only useful if you return at the right moment. The app had to track every species through its seasonal window and surface plain-language, glanceable reminders when each one comes ready.

  3. 03

    Private, no social sharing

    Foragers guard their spots. This needed to be a private field guide built from the ground you’ve actually walked — synced across your own devices, yours to keep, and yours to delete.

Our Solution

Capture

Native AR capture & GPS trips

We built a cross-platform app with a native AR Spotter that drops a pin exactly where you tap and bakes GPS, altitude, accuracy, and a geohash into every find. GPS-tracked trips stitch each find to the satellite view of where you actually were.

Knowledge

Taxonomy codex & harvest calendar

Finds are catalogued by scientific taxonomy into a personal codex, and each species’ harvest window feeds a color-coded calendar — Ready Soon, Harvest Ready, Past Ready — so a single glance tells you where to go next. Everything syncs across devices and stays under the forager’s control.

AR Sundial Builder is our own app for designing and building a working sundial: it works out the dial for your exact latitude, explains the math, and guides the build in augmented reality right where you stand.

  1. 01

    The geometry is hard

    A working sundial isn’t a clock face. Hour-line angles, gnomon tilt, and substyle geometry all change with your exact latitude — get them wrong and the dial simply doesn’t tell time. Almost nobody gets it right by hand.

  2. 02

    Placing it in the real world

    Even a perfect dial is useless unless it’s aimed at true north and tilted to your latitude — and true north isn’t the compass’ magnetic north. That last step is where most builds fall apart.

  3. 03

    Understanding, not templates

    Most calculators spit out a template with no explanation. Makers, teachers, and students wanted to understand why the lines fall where they do — and to build it even without a signal in the field.

Our Solution

Build

Guided AR build

Pick from seven classical dial types, then follow a step-by-step augmented-reality flow that overlays the dial on the ground, uses the sun and your own shadow to find true north, and calibrates to your GPS latitude — right where you’re standing.

Learn

Real math & downloadable plans

Every dial follows established British Sundial Society / Waugh conventions, with plain-language explanations of the underlying formulas. Export precise measurements, angle tables, and instructions to build the physical dial — plus off-grid tools to find latitude and north without a signal.
