DroneEar
Utilities
$9.99 · Designed for iPad
Hear the sky. DroneEar identifies drone acoustic patterns in real time with your phone's mic and shows their direction — fully on-device. No cloud, no data sent.
DroneEar detects nearby drones using your smartphone's Bluetooth sensor and microphone. All processing happens on your device — no internet connection required, and no data ever leaves your phone.
TIER 1 — Remote ID Detection
- Detects BLE Remote ID broadcasts (ASTM F3411 standard)
- Reads a broadcasting drone's serial number, GPS position, altitude, speed and heading
- Shows the drone's real bearing and distance from your location
- Shows the operator's location when the drone broadcasts it
TIER 2 — Acoustic Detection (Beta)
- Detects multirotor drone sound through the phone microphone
- Matched against acoustic fingerprints built from real drone recordings
- Acoustic detection only signals that a drone-like sound is nearby — it does not provide a position
- Support for more aircraft types is planned for future updates
MORE FEATURES
- Real-time map showing the position of Remote ID drones
- Detection history
- Indoor/outdoor environment detection — flags conditions that affect detection accuracy
- Three display themes: Day, Night, and AMOLED

DISCLAIMER
DroneEar is an awareness aid, not a security or safety system. Remote ID detection only works for drones that broadcast Remote ID, and many drones do not.
Acoustic detection is a probabilistic estimate strongly affected by environment, distance, and background noise.
Do not rely on DroneEar for safety-critical decisions or security purposes.
