Overhead Sky
Aircraft overhead, in menu bar
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Overhead Sky names the nearest aircraft right in your menu bar. The line leads with the flight (DAL1542, or a tail like N919BA), then fills in the type (B738 is a 737-800), the route (ATL → JFK), the time until it lands, and how many more are nearby, fitting each piece in as the bar has room and stepping back when it fills.
Click it and that line opens into the whole sky: every nearby aircraft on a live map, with route, altitude, and distance. The rare ones rise to the top.
It learns your regulars with a quiet “again” next to the flights that pass on a schedule, pings you a few minutes before something rare reaches you (the 747 that never comes to town, the DC-8 you didn’t know still flew), and wraps up your week in a short recap.
The menu bar shifts color with the time of day. That’s about as decorative as it gets.
Your exact location stays on your Mac; only a rough position goes to adsb.lol, the volunteer network behind the aircraft data. No account, no trackers.
Pay once for $24.99 and it’s yours forever, or go monthly for $3.99 with 3 days free.
New in this update
Settings has been rebuilt around a calm front page with named shelves and clear headers, set in bigger type that reads from a step back, with each section held at its own depth.
Press Command K from Settings or the popover to open a new ask palette: type what you want in plain words, like “watch 20 miles” or “make the menu bar shorter”, and Overhead offers you the change.
Every rare-alert setting now sits together on the Alerts shelf, and rare aircraft wear a visible tag in the list so they are easy to spot.
The watch holds steadier through the night, alongside a handful of small fixes.
Aircraft data from adsb.lol (ODbL). Routes from VRS standing-data.

Settings has been rebuilt around a calm front page: named shelves, clear headers, and bigger type that reads easily from a step back. Each section sits at its own depth, so the page separates into parts your eye can follow.
There is a new way to ask for things. Press Command K from Settings or from the popover and a palette opens where you type what you want in plain words, like "watch 20 miles" or "make the menu bar shorter", and Overhead offers you the change.
Every rare-alert setting now lives together on the Alerts shelf instead of being scattered, and rare aircraft wear a visible tag in the list so you can spot them without reading closely.
The watch also holds steadier through the night, along with a handful of small fixes.
