## What is TailFinder?

Hear a jet. Look up. Now you'll know what it is.

TailFinder shows you the one plane flying over you right now, not a crowded map of 10,000 flights. It lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can glance down, look up and know exactly what you're seeing.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
• A live card for the nearest plane: airline, aircraft, where it's flying from and to
• A mini radar with you in the middle shows which way to look
• See whether it's coming toward you or moving away, and how close it got
• Tap the card to open that exact plane

THE STORY OF EVERY TAIL
• Real photos of that exact aircraft, credited to the spotters who took them
• Its life so far: when it was built, registered and certified, from official public records
• Every fact shows where it came from, so you know what you're reading
• News and incidents that mention that tail, when there are any

YOUR SKY LOG
• Planes that pass within 1 km are saved for you automatically
• Badges for firsts, streaks and collections of airlines and aircraft
• See when planes fly over your home most
• Snap it: photograph a plane as it passes, with a compass guide

ALERTS THAT RESPECT YOU
• Choose your range: overhead (2 km), nearby (10 km) or wide (30 km)
• Only planes below your chosen height, up to a daily limit
• Quiet hours, with an exception for rare aircraft if you want it

SHARE THE MOMENT
• Turn any plane into a postcard and send it to Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram or your Stories

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your location is rounded to about 1 km before it leaves your phone
• Your Sky Log and photos stay on your phone

Free for our launch flyers.

Live positions come from adsb.lol, a community network of volunteer receivers (Open Database License). Coverage depends on nearby receivers and is best near cities. Keeping the Lock Screen card running in the background uses location and some battery; the 10 km and 30 km ranges use the least.
