Skyby

Now live across the UK and Europe. Look up, and Skyby names the airline, route, and aircraft overhead instantly. No searching.

Know exactly which airline is flying over you.

Skyby identifies the commercial flights passing overhead, instantly. No searching, no typing, no menus. The airliner above you is on screen the moment you look. Whether you're a hardcore planespotter posted at the end of a runway or a casual fan glancing up from your study at home, you'll love Skyby.

Two ways to use it • Set it and forget it. Prop Skyby on your desk, a shelf, or a windowsill and leave it running: a quiet radar for your patch of sky, with each commercial flight appearing as it passes. Set an alert for the aircraft you care about, and Skyby chimes the moment one flies over. • Pull it out and look up. On a walk or in the backyard, open Skyby and instantly see what's flying over right now.

Skyby reads the sky in real time and shows the commercial flight directly above: the airline, where it came from and where it's headed, the aircraft type, and its altitude. An inbound indicator shows when a flight is coming into range.

Set your spot, or take it with you • Use your current location • Drop a pin anywhere in the coverage area (the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, so far) to watch the planes over home while you're at work • Or set the pin to live, and Skyby follows you as you move

Skyby is for commercial flights. It identifies the airliners overhead: the passenger and cargo jets crossing your sky, not small private planes, helicopters, or drones. If it's a scheduled flight up there, Skyby knows it.

Skyby runs on iPhone and iPad, and it shines on iPad. On the bigger screen, propped up on a desk or shelf, it's the best seat in the house.

WHAT YOU GET • Instant overhead ID for the commercial flight above you • Alerts that chime when a plane you care about flies over (A380 and 747 built in, free) • An inbound indicator when a flight is coming into range • Real routes and aircraft types: origin, destination, and what it's flying • A logbook that saves your catches automatically • Available across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Europe today, with more regions on the way

Skyby Pro adds aircraft photos matched to the tail number, custom alerts (chime for any airline, aircraft type, flight number, or tail), your full logbook with search and bookmarks, detailed stats, and a wider search radius to catch planes beyond directly overhead.

Nothing to set up, nothing to search. The answer to "what airline is that?" is already on screen by the time you've finished asking.

See what's flying by in the sky.
