## Description

On Approach turns your Mac into a live window on the sky above you.

See every aircraft flying near your home in real time, on a beautiful dark radar centered on your location. Click any plane to see who's flying it, where it came from, where it's headed, and what it actually looks like — with live photos, route, altitude, speed, heading, and vertical rate. 

Whether you live near an airport, under a flight path, or just love watching planes, On Approach makes the invisible traffic above you feel close, calm, and knowable.

RADAR THAT FEELS LIVE
A pulsing, modern radar display with live aircraft trails, refreshed every 25 seconds. Rings show distance from home. The compass rotates so "up" on screen matches the direction your Mac is actually facing — so a plane to your left on the radar is a plane to your left in real life.

KNOW EVERY AIRCRAFT
Focus a plane to reveal a frosted-glass data card with the airline logo, callsign, aircraft type and registration, altitude, ground speed, heading, and climb or descent rate. A live aircraft photo from the world's largest spotter community appears alongside, so you can see the exact tail you're tracking.

THE FLIGHT BOARD 
Switch to a classic split-flap-style board to see live arrivals and departures from airports near you — perfect for plane-watching, picking up family at the airport, or just feeling the rhythm of the day's flights.

DAILY STATS & WEATHER
A glanceable daily stats overlay shows how busy your sky has been, and a live weather badge keeps METAR-style conditions one look away.

BUILT FOR THE MAC 
  • Compact and Dashboard layouts
  • Optional sidebar with the full live aircraft list
  • Optional inspector pane with deep flight details
  • Menu bar peek so you can check the sky from any app, without switching windows
  • Optional Dock badge with the live aircraft count
  • Full keyboard shortcuts for every view and layout 
  • Beautiful, native, dark-by-design

CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING
Pick your home location with address autocomplete, set the direction your Mac faces, choose your radar radius from a few miles to far out, and filter by aircraft type. Hide jets, helicopters, military, or general aviation independently. Your radar, your way.

REAL DATA, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS REQUIRED
On Approach uses live ADS-B data — the same signals air traffic relies on — to show real aircraft positions, not estimates. Coverage is strongest in North America and Europe and continues to grow worldwide. 

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your home location stays on your Mac. No accounts to create. No tracking. No ads. Just the sky.

Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, pilots, frequent flyers, plane spotters, airport neighbors, AvGeeks, and anyone who's ever looked up and wondered, "where is that one going?"                                                                                                                                                       

Look up. We'll tell you what's there.
