UAP Finder
Auto-record the night sky
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Mount your phone facing the night sky and let UAP Finder do the watching.
UAP Finder continuously analyzes the camera feed and records short video clips ONLY when it detects real motion — a satellite streak, a fast-moving light, or something stranger. No more hours of empty sky footage: you get just the moments that matter, each saved with rich metadata so you can review, share, and back up your sightings.
HOW IT WORKS
• Point your phone at the sky and tap "Start watching the sky"
• The detection engine models the background sky and ignores stars and slow drift
• A physics-based speed gate flags objects moving at satellite speed or faster
• On detection, a full-quality video clip is recorded automatically
• Every event is saved with a snapshot, timestamps, and motion analysis
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Maneuver detection — flags objects that change direction mid-flight, something no satellite or aircraft can do
• Nothing is discarded — every trigger is kept; classification only suggests a label
• Motion metrics with every event: angular speed, path straightness, sharpest turn, duration, and peak brightness
• Location, compass heading, and elevation angle recorded for credibility
• Adjustable sensitivity to match your sky conditions
• Built-in video player and easy sharing of captured clips
• Storage-friendly: delete a detection and every file goes with it
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
UAP Finder works completely offline. Your clips, snapshots, and location data are stored only on your device and are never uploaded anywhere.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Use a tripod or lean the phone against something steady — a still camera is a happy camera
• Dark, clear skies work best; the detector locks exposure to reduce false triggers
• Keep the screen on and plugged in for long sessions
Clear skies, and happy hunting.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
See several objects at once — a new "Multiple objects" filter finds captures where two or more things were moving across your sky together, and the player now boxes every object it tracked.
Your camera at a glance — its status, a live view, the trash, the zoomed-in copy, and the keep and render buttons are now on your phone, just like on uapfinder.com. Step to the previous or next capture from the player.
Set your camera's location from your phone.
Watch and control your sky camera from your phone.
My Cameras — sign in on your phone and on the computer running the capture service, and they find each other. Browse recent detections, see how each was classified, and play the clips.
Camera settings — change what your camera is doing without walking over to it. Night-only or around the clock, which detections it keeps, how sensitive it is, how long clips are held. Works from anywhere.
Away from home — detections and clips now reach you off your home Wi-Fi, with no router setup.
Mark what you have seen — watch a clip and record that you believe it is genuinely anomalous, kept separate from whatever the camera decided.
In-app player with the tracker overlay — a marker follows the object through the clip, and one tap jumps to the moment it appears.
Filter by type — orbs, course changes, unexplained, satellites, aircraft or meteors.
Save to Photos — keep any clip, with or without the tracker drawn on it.
Clips are kept on your phone, so last night's captures play with no connection at all.
Also: a much clearer way to sign in, encrypted connections to your own camera, and a long list of fixes to downloading, filtering and playback.
Plus fixes: the verified filter works away from home, and the list downloads every clip it shows.
