Skyty Wall: Flightboard

Turn any iPad, iPhone or Mac into an ambient flight board. Real-time aircraft overhead, in three flight-board aesthetics. €4.99 lifetime. No subscription.

Skyty Wall turns any spare iPad, iPhone or Mac into an ambient flight board — a live display of the aircraft overhead, rendered in the style that suits your room.

Others sell €500 LED panels or €3,000 split-flap walls. Skyty Wall is pure software on hardware you already own. €4.99, one payment, forever.

THREE THEMES AT LAUNCH

• LED — Amber dot-matrix on black with bloom and scanlines. Homage to the classic airport flight wall. Free tier.

• Split-flap — Cream flaps on dark wood. Every character flips when the list changes. Vestaboard homage. Premium.

• Minimal — Cream paper, editorial serif, hairline dividers. High-contrast and quiet — for rooms that prefer understated. Premium.

LIVE DATA, REAL FLIGHTS

Skyty Wall pulls real-time ADS-B data from adsb.lol (no hardware needed — just internet). 8-second refresh means you see flights enter and leave your radius as they happen. Tap any aircraft to see its airline, route, and type.

KIOSK-READY FOR THAT OLD IPAD

Mount an iPad on the wall, set the radius around your home, and leave it running. Skyty Wall keeps the screen on while the board is visible, hides its own chrome after five seconds, and handles network drops gracefully with stale-data indicators.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Your saved locations sync via your own iCloud — we never see them. That's a design decision, not a privacy promise to renegotiate later.
