## Description

Live aircraft around you on a clean radar scope — built on the free, community-run adsb.fi network. No account, no ads.

Mini Radar shows the aircraft flying around you, live, on a clean radar scope.

It's built on adsb.fi — a free, community-run ADS-B network. Volunteers around the world run small receivers and share what they pick up, and that shared feed is what you see. No account, no subscription, no ads.

WHAT YOU GET
• A live radar centered on you — or anywhere you search
• Tap any aircraft for details: type, registration, altitude, speed, heading, squawk, and route (origin to destination) when available
• Switch between a classic radar scope and a satellite map backdrop
• Pinch, double-tap, or drag to zoom — from a few miles out to 250 NM
• Color aircraft by type (commercial, private, helicopter, glider, military…) or by altitude, or switch on distinct per-type icons
• North-up or heading-up — one tap on the compass button rotates the scope (radar or satellite) so the direction you're facing is up
• A live contacts list and class filters, right on the scope
• Sweep or pulse animation — your choice
• A nearest-aircraft compass that always points to the closest plane

POINT AT THE SKY
• AR Sky View — hold up your phone and see the aircraft overhead, labeled in real space; pinch to zoom in

ON YOUR WRIST
• A standalone Apple Watch radar — zoom with the Digital Crown, tap a plane for details

ALWAYS-ON GLANCE
• Dynamic Island and Lock Screen tracking for what's overhead — your favorites, or any aircraft nearby, with a live bearing arrow

FAVORITES & ALERTS
• Star aircraft by tail number, callsign, or hex — they're highlighted whenever they appear nearby
• Optional alert when a favorite comes within 10 NM of you (opt-in; uses background location only while it's turned on)

SAVED PLACES
• Save and name locations to jump between them
• Choose what the radar opens to: your live location, the nearest airport, or a saved spot

MADE TO READ EASILY
• Colorblind-friendly palette
• Light, dark, or automatic theme

A NOTE ON COVERAGE
Because the data comes from volunteer receivers, coverage is best where people are feeding and can have gaps elsewhere. Not every aircraft broadcasts ADS-B, and route lookups aren't available for every flight. Mini Radar is for curiosity and learning — not for navigation or any operational use.

Want better coverage where you live? Anyone can become a feeder with a Raspberry Pi, an RTL-SDR dongle, and an antenna. There's a short how-to inside the app.

Data by adsb.fi. Route information by adsbdb.
