Sign in with Google to back up your Buck Pattern data and use it on another phone. You can continue without connecting, and the app will keep working locally.

Settings

Anthropic API key (optional, used only when EXIF date/time is unavailable)

Stored only in this browser's local storage on this device. Used only when a trail-cam photo does not contain a usable EXIF date/time, so the app can read the printed data bar. Leave blank to enter the date/time manually when EXIF is unavailable.

Camera locations, the satellite map, and pin management now live on the Cameras tab.

Google Cloud Sync

Connect your Google account to keep your Buck Pattern data available on your other phones. Your data is stored in Buck Pattern's private Google Drive app-data area. Local storage is still used for offline use.

Notes

Log a few sightings first — patterns need entries tagged to a specific deer.

Camera locations

Drop a pin for each camera so weather can auto-fill for that spot on any date. Switch to satellite view to line the pin up with the actual tree/field.

Tap the map to drop a pin, drag it to fine-tune, or use your current GPS to jump there. Then name it and save.
