It’s important to know what you’re getting here, you’re getting a visualizer, not the whole ADS-B data feeder, etc. If you are already into the ADS-B hobby this can be a useful app to you. It’s prettier than watching planes in a web browser, and if you know what’s up you can set up plane search features, etc, to your liking.

Stop shoving AI slop into everything

Once satisfied, now frustrated
Instead of linking to a search for an aircraft callsign, it opens up a useless Microsoft Copilot AI chatbot panel that doesn’t provide any pertinent information. Also, it insists on running as a finicky menu bar popover thing instead of a regular window like a normal application.

Developer Response
The search is user-configurable—you can point it to anything you like. By default, it’s set to AI, as it often returns interesting results. The app runs as a menu bar utility, always displaying nearby aircraft below its icon. Its window acts like a standard, resizable popup, but as of version 4.2, you can now choose to run ADS-B Radar in a regular window instead. Just Option-click the menu bar icon to switch between modes.
