Frequently asked questions

Before you start.

Is Avvistami a website or a program?

It is a desktop program for PC. This website presents the project; the archive does not run in your browser.

Does Avvistami work online or locally?

The first version runs locally on your computer, with no account and no cloud transfer of photos or data.

Where are photos and data stored?

They stay on your PC. You keep control of your content and backups.

How do seasonal reminders work?

The program uses your own history to suggest periods and locations that may be worth revisiting.

Does it guarantee an animal will return?

No. Nature offers no guarantees: history supports planning, it is not a prediction.

Which systems will be supported?

The first version is designed for PCs running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
