The screens in these pictures are the devices' own display. Aircraft, flights and weather shown are examples; what you see depends on the air traffic near you.

Set up once, in three steps

  1. Plug it in

    Connect it to a USB power adapter. The screen guides you from there.

  2. Scan the code

    Your phone joins the device and opens its setup page. Pick your home Wi-Fi.

  3. Set your home

    Drag the map to your home. GATE asks for your airport instead, LONGPATH also for your call sign. Done.

Good to know

Is there a subscription?

No. There is no app, no account and no monthly fee.

What do I need?

A USB power adapter (5 V) and a USB-C cable (you can order one with the device, or use your own), 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with an internet connection, and a smartphone for the one-time setup.

Will I see every plane?

Aircraft positions come from free community flight-tracking networks. Coverage depends on the receivers near you, and not every aircraft shares its position.

What about software updates?

They install automatically over Wi-Fi, and your settings are kept.

Where can I buy one?

In our Etsy shop. Every listing has more photos, a video and the full details.
