## What is Tail Spotter?

A kraft-paper bag-tag for every aircraft you've spotted.
No accounts, no servers, no feed — your album lives on your iPad.
Tap SPOTTED. Punch the tag. Watch the hangar fill up.

THE ALBUM
Every plane you see becomes a physical-looking bag-tag with its tail number stamped in stencil ink, a country stripe pulled from the registration prefix, and a silhouette of the airframe in the corner. Tags pile up on a kraft paper page like collectible stickers — not a spreadsheet, not a feed.

ONE TAP TO PUNCH
Hit SPOTTED, snap a photo (or skip it), type the registration. The country auto-detects from 36 prefixes the moment you type. Pick the silhouette — narrowbody, widebody, regional, propeller, heavy, military. Drop in an airport code. Done.

SIX SILHOUETTES
Hand-drawn top-down shapes for the six broad families you actually see at the fence: 737s and A320s, 777s and A350s, CRJs and Embraers, ATRs and Cessnas, 747s and A380s, F-16s and C-130s. No SF Symbols, no stock icons — every shape is custom.

KRAFT, INK, AND TYPEWRITER
Stencil monospace for registrations, condensed sans for stamps, typewriter serif for your notes. Noise, vignette, a slight tilt on every tag, a red SPOTTED ink stamp on every card, a green NEW TYPE stamp the first time you log a family. Built to feel like a worn pocket album.

YOUR HANGAR, OFFLINE
Counters at the top of the album: total spotted, unique types, unique countries. Filter the wall by type with one tap. Long-press a tag to share or remove. Everything stays on your device — no sign-in, no cloud, no telemetry.

WHY TAIL SPOTTER
Built for one job: keeping a personal, tactile record of every airframe you've laid eyes on. Not a flight tracker. Not a social feed. Just an album that grows.
