About

Wrist Cockpit turns your Apple Watch into a variometer and altimeter – for paragliding, hang gliding, gliding and ballooning. CLIMB AND SINK • Big vertical speed at a glance: green climb, red sink • Vario tape with integrator (10, 20 or 30 s) • E-vario sound like in a glider: pitch glides smoothly, climb chopped, sink as a steady tone • Sound on/off with one tap or double tap (Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 and later) • Adjustable thresholds and volume, vibration only if you like ALTITUDE • Altitude in m or ft, flight level at STD • QNH (hPa) or ALT SET (inHg), set with the Digital Crown • Auto-QNH from GPS or terrain elevation FLIGHT • Airtime with IGC recording (XContest, WeGlide, SeeYou) • Share the IGC as a link via Messages or Mail – the recipient downloads the real .igc file • Speed and track from GPS, time in UTC BALLOON • Envelope temperature from a Bluetooth envelope probe right on your watch • Colour scale from blue (too cold – keep the balloon warm) to red (limit), selectable base warmth, vibration at the limits MADE FOR FLYING • Runs as a workout so the pressure sensor measures at full rate – even with your wrist down • Complication for your watch face • Standalone on the watch: no iPhone, no account, no ads, no tracking Note: Wrist Cockpit provides flight information and does not replace certified instruments.

What's New in Wrist Cockpit

1.0.2

November 3, 2026

More robust in flight: if the app crashes during a flight, the watch relaunches Wrist Cockpit on its own – measuring and vario keep running. A QNH you set is kept (6 hours, manual settings too). Auto-off now only applies while the app is in the background. IGC: GPS runs during Airtime, so the file now contains positions. The flight is uploaded only when you tap “Share IGC link”. Terrain elevation for Auto-QNH from a new source – without your exact position and never in the air. Airtime over one hour shown as 1h05, altitude in cyan.
