What's New in njSidekick

1.21.3

August 11, 2026

A big update to the Map and Pay tabs. AIRPORTS • A new Airports tab on the map page. Search by identifier, name or town — KJFK, Heathrow, Aspen — and see codes, elevation, position, runways with length, surface and lighting, published frequencies, and links to the airport's website and Wikipedia. • Tap any airport on the map to open it. The globe turns to it and rings it at 50 miles, without disturbing the view you had set up. WHERE YOU ARE • A location button on the map sidebar. One press centres the map on you at a 50-mile view, marked with a pulsing ring. • Every airport inside that ring is shown, whether or not anything is parked there, so you can see where you could go. SEEING MORE OF THE FLEET • An ALL button shows the aircraft your filters have hidden, as faint tail numbers, so the rest of the fleet is there as background without competing with the aircraft you picked. They can still be tapped. • Searching for a tail number no longer empties the map. • A map imagery button draws OpenStreetMap underneath the globe when you are zoomed in, so roads and towns show through beneath the aircraft. YOUR DATES • Set your hire date, date of birth and retirement once in the menu. • The Pay tab can then work out your years of service itself, moving you up a step on your anniversary without you touching anything. Retirement can be set by a planned age rather than a date. 401(k) • A new contribution limit card on the Pay tab showing the standard limit and every catch-up band, with the one that applies to your age marked. • The 401(k) help now works out the percentage of your base pay that reaches the annual limit across 26 paychecks, and shows a table of what you and the company each put in at every contribution rate. • It also covers the overall annual ceiling, how much of your premium pay goes into the plan under 27.2(J) and the point at which that stops, and the catch-up and super catch-up rules. EXPLAINING ITSELF • Info buttons on the Map, Fleet, Company and Pay tabs explain what everything on them means — including which items open help on a tap and which need a long press. FIXES • The N button on the map now stays as you left it between launches. • Everything drawn in black is now readable in night mode, including landed aircraft, airports and their routes. • Dates set in the menu take effect on the Pay tab straight away. • Catch-up eligibility now follows the year you turn 50 or 60, as the rules intend, rather than your age on the day. • The Pay tab title no longer runs off the edge on smaller phones.

Wouldn’t work

Tried to log in to the message board, even though I find the message boards to be a complete waste of time. Couldn’t get in, and when I tried the password reset, the app insisted that I use a third party Multi-factor Authentication app, which I absolutely don’t want on my phone. Too much work to access the pay feature. I’ll go back to using my spreadsheet.

2FA

The 2 factor authentication update, doesn’t work.
I am unable to use the Pay function now. And to make me do it every 30 days is way too much. Change it back

Amazing!

This fantastic app is a complete time saver! Before its existence, I was spending hours modifying spreadsheets just to be able to easily glance to determine which schedule gives a particular holiday off, now with just a couple taps all the information is readily available. Thank you!
