A playful approximation. Aircraft labels use position data, not image recognition.

A little context for the sky.

Your location and the phone’s orientation place nearby aircraft labels over the camera. This does not detect planes in the image.

ADSB.lol supplies public aircraft positions and estimated routes. Coverage varies. Callsigns may differ from the flight number on a ticket; routes may be missing or wrong.

Start outdoors, hold your phone upright in portrait, and point the rear camera at the horizon. Use Align if the compass drifts. Without compass access, use Manual bearing and Tilt.

The camera stays on your device. Coordinates go to this app’s server and ADSB.lol to request nearby traffic. Nothing is stored by this app beyond a short feed cache.

Camera and location need HTTPS or localhost. This is for curiosity, never navigation.
