SkyWindow: Window Seat Guide
Your window seat, explained
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Ever looked out an airplane window and wondered what that mountain, city, or river below actually is? SkyWindow tells you.
Hold your phone up to the window and SkyWindow labels the peaks, cities, lakes, and landmarks passing beneath you in real time — like a living map of the world outside your window.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• See it live — Point your phone and watch names appear over the real view, each with its elevation or distance.
• Go deeper — Tap any label for details: elevation, distance, coordinates, and a quick read from Wikipedia.
• Filter the view — Show only peaks, cities, water, or parks. Whatever you care about, nothing you don't.
• Capture the moment — Snap a "memory" photo with the labels baked right in, captioned with the landmarks, altitude, date, and time.
• Keep a Passport — Collect the places you spot and revisit them anytime.
• Works offline — Download the map before you fly, and SkyWindow keeps working with no signal at 35,000 feet.
BUILT FOR THE WINDOW SEAT
Whether you're flying cross-country, standing at a mountain overlook, or road-tripping through big country, SkyWindow turns "what is that?" into "oh — that's it."
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No tracking. No accounts required. Your photos stay on your device. Sign in with Apple is completely optional and is only used to sync your Passport of saved places across your devices.
A QUICK NOTE
SkyWindow is made for curiosity and fun — not navigation. Landmark positions are approximate, so always rely on official instruments and charts for anything that matters.
So next time you get the window seat, you'll always know exactly what you're looking at.
