Mutflieger – Fear of Flying

Fear of flying is common – and you don't have to face it alone. Mutflieger calmly keeps you company before your flight, on board and after landing. Everything works in airplane mode, without an account.

TWO MINUTES TO CALM DOWN
The round button in the middle starts a guided program that brings you down step by step: first, breathe with the light, 4 seconds in, 6 seconds out. Your phone gently vibrates along, so it even works with your eyes closed. Then small exercises bring you back to the here and now: a quick reality check, 3 things you see, 2 you hear, 1 you feel. All you have to do is follow along.

YOUR FLIGHT, CALMLY ACCOMPANIED
Add your flight and Mutflieger shows you what is roughly happening right now – from taxiing to cruising to landing, each with a short, reassuring sentence. Prefer not to watch the clock? Choose "Rather without a clock" and only see how far along you are.

ON THE LOCK SCREEN
Flight phase, progress and a calm sentence – without opening the app, as a live update on Android 16. Two buttons take you straight to quick help or the turbulence meter.

BUMPY? PUT CALMLY INTO WORDS.
Place your phone flat and Mutflieger describes the bumps in words instead of numbers – like "cobblestones when driving a car". After a while, the app invites you to put your phone away. Instead of constantly checking, there is room to trust the flight.

WHAT WAS THAT?
Rumbling, whirring, a chime: the typical sounds on a plane, briefly explained. Sounds that fit the current flight phase are shown first.

A LOVED ONE'S VOICE ON BOARD
Ask someone close to you to record a courage message – or keep a voice message straight from your favorite messenger. Listen any time during the flight, even without a connection.

UNDERSTAND AND CLEAR YOUR HEAD
Reliable facts about flying, a clear explanation of how anxiety tricks your brain, plus breathing exercises, mindfulness, muscle relaxation and puzzles for distraction.

NOTES FOR AFTER LANDING
Before departure, write down a few lines: what you look forward to on arrival, what you're proud of, and what is worrying you right now. Joy and pride keep you company in flight, while the worry stays put away – after landing you read it again. Every field is optional.

AFTER LANDING
Note what helped you – Mutflieger reminds you on your next flight. Every flight you've made is collected and celebrated.

YOUR PASSPORT
Every flight you complete gets a stamp with the flags of departure and destination. You can add past flights, with date, time and landing. After landing, one tap takes you to your next flight.

LANDING AS A MOMENT
When you land, the light rises, your phone rolls out gently with you, and the stamp drops onto the paper. Then there is room for a few lines: what helped you?

NEW: ADD A FLIGHT
From a boarding pass (.pkpass) or an invitation (.ics). It all happens on your phone, nothing is sent.

NIGHT CABIN
A warm dark mode with hardly any blue, so the screen stays calm in a dark plane.
