Built in the field. Refined at the desk.

inat-tools exists because the best nature photography tools should come from someone who actually uses them in the field.

We build software that connects the work you do outdoors — documenting species, contributing to citizen science, and building a photographic archive — with the tools you use to organize and share it.

Every tool starts with the same question: what should exist when you're in the field at dawn or keywording 400 photos at midnight?

About Radd

inat-tools is built by Radd — a naturalist, photographer, and software developer with 2,000+ species documented and ten years behind the lens.

The platform exists to eliminate manual copy-paste workflows between iNaturalist and Lightroom while preserving scientific accuracy in large catalogs.

Stay in the field loop.

New tools, updates, and the occasional dispatch from the field. No spam — just the stuff that matters if you're a naturalist who uses a camera.
