Personal arrivals and departures for Finnish airports. Public board data, gates, and desks. Pin a flight. Optional Lock Screen follow. Free, no ads, no account.
HELBoard is a personal arrivals and departures board for airports operated by Finavia.
It is a native iOS app, not a website in a shell, not a flight tracker, and not Finavia’s app.
HELBoard is free. An optional tip jar is available. Nothing is locked behind payment. There are no ads, accounts, or tracking.
Choose an airport to see official public board data: flight times, status, gates, check-in desks, and baggage areas. HELBoard does not add unofficial airport data.
Open the app and you are on the board. Search by flight number or city, including the codeshare number on your ticket. Pin a flight for pickup, drop-off, or your own journey.
For flights you care about, add a personal flight with its date, airport, direction, and an optional note. Upcoming and past flights stay organized in My Flights. You can optionally keep these personal flight details in your private iCloud account so they can return after reinstalling or be available on your other devices.
Follow a pinned flight for a glanceable Live Activity and optional alerts around its public flight time. Updates can be late, missed, or out of date. Never rely on HELBoard alone and confirm important times and status with Finavia or your airline.
HELBoard is built for privacy. No telemetry, profiling, analytics, advertising, or user account. Pins, follows, Live Activities, alerts, and board settings stay on your device. Personal flights and notes use private iCloud only when you choose to enable it.
Accessibility is part of the work. Common tasks support VoiceOver, Dark Mode, Reduce Motion, and sufficient contrast. Dense flight lists remain difficult at the largest text sizes.
What you get:
• Arrivals and departures for 19 Finnish airports, starting with Helsinki
• A board centered around now, with a quick return to Now
• Search by flight number or city, including codeshares
• Flight details when provided by the public feed: scheduled, expected, and actual times, via airports, gate and previous gate, departure calls, and aircraft
• Pin up to five flights
• Optional Live Activity from roughly two hours before the public flight time
• Optional alerts for meaningful flight changes
• My Flights for upcoming and past personal flights
• Optional notes for your personal flights
• Optional private iCloud sync for personal flights and notes
• Calendar event sharing
• English, Finnish, and Swedish
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1.2 is a vanity release. A few small fixes, and two new things.
• A bit more about the aircraft, when the board has a registration
• Owner and type from the public adsbdb API
• A thumbnail, the photographer’s name, and a link to the photo when one exists
• A city path on the flight sheet. It draws the trip from city to city. It is not the route the aircraft flies.
So, a vanity release. Enjoy!
