Walking or cycling across the Gibraltar runway? GibGate tells you exactly when the gate next closes for a flight — and when it reopens. The border checks are gone, but the runway crossing still shuts for every landing and take-off. The tunnel only takes cars; on foot, you wait. GibGate ends the guessing at the gate. WHAT YOU GET • Live countdown to the next closure, with the flight that causes it — tracked with real-time ADS-B aircraft data, typically accurate to within a couple of minutes. • Gate status at a glance: OPEN or CLOSED, with the expected reopening time. • Today's and tomorrow's flights, with overlapping closures merged and delays reflected as they happen. • "Will I make it?" planner: tell it how long you need to reach the crossing and it tells you whether you'll get there before the gate closes — and when to leave. No location needed. • Worst-hours heatmap: see which times of day pile up the most closures, so you can plan around them. • Live frontier cameras: watch the La Línea ↔ Gibraltar crossing straight from your phone. • Closure alerts, so you can set off at the right moment. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity countdown in the Dynamic Island, and an Apple Watch app. MADE FOR THE CROSSING Built for the thousands of frontier workers who cross between La Línea and Gibraltar every day — and for visitors about to walk across a live airport runway for the first time. GIBGATE PRO — ONE PAYMENT, FOREVER A single one-off purchase unlocks the full app, for good — and Family Sharing covers up to six people. No subscription. No ads. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up.

Switch them on and GibGate tells you when you are heading for the frontier and the barrier is about to drop before you get there. It stays quiet when you are comfortably going to make it, and your location never leaves your phone. Optional, off by default. - A rebuilt main screen. The state of the gate used to be spelled out three times over. Now one card owns it, and it tells you something it never did: how long the barrier stays down. - The whole day at a glance. A new bar shows every closure of the day, the time already gone and the longest clear gap, so you can pick when to cross without leaving the screen. ### 1.3 — 2026-07-28 GibGate 1.3 sees the flights that are not in the timetable. • Private jets and charters. Gibraltar's public timetable only lists airline flights, but private jets close the barrier too. GibGate now picks up their filed flight plans and warns you about those closures, the ones that used to appear out of nowhere. • Sharper radar. We merge three independent live aircraft feeds and watch ground movements on the runway itself, so an aircraft taxiing out is detected within seconds. • The map shows the real flown path. The trail is now the route the plane actually flew, refreshed every few seconds during a movement. Aircraft broadcasting without a callsign now appear as "Private aircraft" instead of vanishing from the map. • Cleaner Now screen: removed duplicated "no closures" messages and a dangling countdown placeholder. ### 1.2 — 2026-07-15 GibGate 1.2 — honest to the minute. • Honest when we're blind. If our live aircraft feed degrades, GibGate now says "status unknown" instead of guessing green. You'll never be told the barrier is up on stale data. • Closure windows follow the real flight. A delayed or early flight now moves its closure window with it — the times you see match when the barrier actually drops, not the printed schedule. • Prices in your currency. The unlock price now comes straight from the App Store in your own storefront currency — what you see is exactly what you'd pay. • Smarter "Will I make it?". The crossing calculator now checks every upcoming closure (not just the next one) and tells you plainly when it simply doesn't have the data to promise a clear crossing. • Under the hood: prediction-window fine-tuning (departures reopen faster than we assumed), late-night delay badges fixed, and updated privacy declarations. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-13 GibGate 1.1.1 — honest to the minute. • Honest when we're blind. If our live aircraft feed degrades, GibGate now says "status unknown" instead of guessing green. You'll never be told the barrier is up on stale data. • Closure windows follow the real flight. A delayed or early flight now moves its closure window with it — the times you see match when the barrier actually drops, not the printed schedule. • Prices in your currency. The unlock price now comes straight from the App Store in your own storefront currency — what you see is exactly what you'd pay. • Smarter "Will I make it?".
