## What is Airframed?

Point your phone at a plane. Take the photo. Airframed works out what it was.

Every aircraft you photograph becomes a catch: a ticket stub printed with the type, the airline, the airport you saw it at, and the registration on its tail when it can be read. Common types fill in quickly. An A380 does not.

ONE TAP, THEN GET ON WITH IT
The camera opens, you take the shot, and the catch is saved immediately. Identification happens afterwards, on its own. You are never left waiting on a spinner while an aircraft flies out of frame. Framing guides help you get the whole aircraft, and its registration, in shot.

WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Capture needs nothing but the camera. Photograph a plane on a runway, on a hillside, or at 35,000 feet with the radios off — your catches queue up and identify themselves the next time you have a connection.

STAMP YOUR PASSPORT
Every aircraft family you catch is a stamp in your passport. See how many variants of each you have, and which you are still missing.

RARITY THAT IS COUNTED, NOT INVENTED
An A380 is Epic because fewer than 200 still fly. A 747 is Rare for the same reason. Every grade comes from real counts of how many airframes of that type are actually in the air, so a rare catch is genuinely rare.

COLLECT INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT
Where the registration is readable, Airframed records the specific airframe — not just "an A380", but that A380. Photograph the same tail twice and it knows.

RACE OTHER SPOTTERS
Join the leaderboard to be ranked by the XP your identified photos earn — this week or all time, everywhere or at your home airport. It is opt-in: nobody sees you until you choose a name.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
Every photo is saved on your phone, and a copy goes to your photo library if you allow it. Photos are sent to Anthropic's Claude to identify the aircraft and are not stored on our server. The airport tag comes from your location, which never leaves your phone.

WHAT YOU GET
• One-tap capture that never waits on a network

• Every catch tagged with the airport it was taken at
• Rarity grades counted from real fleet sizes

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-11-04

Add from Photos: bring in the plane photos you have already taken. Pick them from your library and Airframed identifies each one like a new catch, dated and tagged with the airport from the photo itself. The app only sees the photos you choose.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-19

A whole new look: every catch is a boarding pass, every aircraft family a stamp in your passport.

• Leaderboard — race other spotters this week or at your home airport. Opt-in.
• Airport tags — each catch remembers where you took it, automatically or by hand.
• Framing guides — the camera helps you get the whole aircraft and its registration in shot.
• Week streaks, a new profile, and a new icon.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-06

A redesigned reveal card for every catch. Your photo is now the card art, with the aircraft and its registration printed right on it, and rarer finds stand out with a foil-style frame.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-02

No release notes.
