flightboard.
Live flight & ship tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Live ADS-B flights and AIS ships overhead, in real time. Bring your own free OpenSky and AISStream credentials, or use community feeds — no account required.
FlightBoard turns your iPhone or iPad into a real-time arrivals board for the sky and sea above you. Watch flights pass overhead from your window. See the ferries and cargo ships in your nearest port. Mount an iPad on the wall and let it run as an editorial-style departures display.
