## What is Squawk?

Ever look up and wonder what that plane is? Squawk tells you — instantly.

Squawk turns your phone into a live window on the sky above you. Tap any aircraft to see where it's going, what it is, who's flying it, and the exact path it's taken. Point your phone up and spot it in AR. Get a buzz when something rare, military, or in trouble flies overhead.

Whether you're a serious plane spotter or just curious about the jet leaving a contrail over your house, Squawk was built for you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Live map — Every plane in the sky, updating in real time, with altitude-colored trails
• Tap to track — Flight details, route, aircraft type, operator, and full flight path
• AR sky view — Point your phone at the sky and see planes labeled right where they are
• Flyover alerts — Get notified when aircraft enter your zones, or when rare, military, or emergency traffic passes nearby
• Track your flight — Add your own flights and follow every phase from gate to landing, with live status and a boarding-pass card
• Airports — Live arrival/departure boards, weather, runways, and frequencies
• Logbook — Keep a record of everything you've spotted, earn badges, and climb the spotter ranks
• Radio transcriber — Connect your own radio and get live ATC transcription (external hardware required)
• More to explore — Rocket-launch visibility, weather radar, winds aloft, day/night terminator, oceanic tracks, and area replay

FREE TO START

The live map, tracking, AR, fire tracking, and in-app alerts are all free — no account required. Squawk Pro unlocks background push alerts, extended history, the radio transcriber, premium map layers, and more, with a free trial to try it all.

FOR SPOTTERS, BY SPOTTERS

Squawk shows real data, real trails, and real aircraft — no filler, no fake feeds. Just an honest, beautiful look at what's actually flying.

Look up. Tap. Know.
